CORONA RP8D1 - User Manual

RP8D1 Manual
Receiver RP8D1
Thank you for purchasing the RP8D1 receiver – a small and light dual conversion 8 CH synthesizedreceiver!
With high performance using the latest receiver technology.
Why a Synthesized Receiver?
Synthesized receivers get rid of the inconvenience of using a crystal. Receivers with a crystal still use the
technology of the 1970’s where the user has to change the crystal to switch to a different frequency. Users
are either stuck to one frequency or have to bring more (expensive) crystals to the flying field. In addition,
every time the crystal is changed there is a chance of damaging the receiver. With a synthesized receiver, all
you need to do is push the button to switch to any channel you are transmitting at. With Corona’s technology
in developing and manufacturing of R/C products, the RP8D1 8 CH Dual Conversion receiver becomes the
smallest in the world. But do not only focus on its small size. Its high performance will also surprise you!
RP8D1’s Features
1. You can switch the frequency freely with the RP8D1 8 CH dual conversion synthesized receiver.
2. The 'one button' function makes it extremely easy to change frequency.
3. Despite the small size, the receiving range reaches as far as 1 mile!
4. The dual ceramic IF filters ensure ultra narrow selectivity, and can reject adjacent channel interference
effectively.
5. The RP8D1 can identify the shift polarity of the transmitter (FUTABA, JR) automatically.
6. DSP technology filters noise intelligently and eliminates glitches effectively.
7. Failsafe function to put servos in a predetermined position in case of lost signal reception.
