Note when placing the RD-08 on a stand
Be sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual carefully when placing this unit on a stand.
If it is not set up properly, you risk creating an unstable situation which could lead to the unit falling or the stand toppling, and may result in
injury.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when setting up the stand.
Beware of overturning!
To prevent the RD-08 from overturning, do not apply excessive force to it, and never sit or stand on it.
Press the [Ā] (power) button to turn the power on.
Long-press the [Ā] (power) button to turn the power off.
* The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto
Off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off
automatically, disengage the Auto Off function. For details, refer
to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).
Unsaved data is lost when the power turns off. Before turning
the power off, save the data that you want to keep (p. 20).
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume
down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some
sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal
