User manual ROTEL RCD-855

[. . . ] If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep this manual so you can refer to these safety instructions. [. . . ] Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information. The RCD-855 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio system. Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the RCD-855 is turned off (in the "out" position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the AC power receptacle on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet. If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your CD player (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. [See Figure 3 for wiring illustration] If you are using the RCD-855 as a disc transport with an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-855, taken before the built-in D/A converter. this signal is supplied by the RCD-855's back-panel digital output jacks. Both optical and coaxial digital signal connectors are provided. Use whichever type best matches your other components. To use the digital outputs, this switch must be in the on position. If you are not using the digital outputs, we recommend turning the switch off, because it removes the digital output circuitry from the signal path. However, you can select a different track using the TRACK buttons or the DIRECT ACCESS buttons (see below) before pressing the PLAY button to start playing a different track. A lighted DISPLAY on the front panel of the RCD-855 provides useful information about the status of the unit, activation of special features, and track/time information for the disc being played. Each of these indicators is described in the detailed operating instructions that follow. This button is used to temporarily suspend play. The disc continues to spin and play will be resumed from the current position. the PAUSE indicator will light in the DISPLAY. To resume playing the disc, press the PAUSE button again or press the PLAY button. A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-855, slides out to accept a compact disc and retracts to play the disc. The drawer can be closed in two ways: pushing the OPEN button or pushing the PLAY button. This button stops a disc that is playing and resets the player, i. If play is resumed, the disc will start over from the first track. [. . . ] Then, instead of pressing the REVIEW button to continue, remove the displayed track by pressing the CLEAR button while the number is still flashing. You may then continue the review procedure. Dither is a very small amount of digital noise added to a signal to improve a CD player's overall sound quality. Proper types and amounts of dither can improve a digital-to-analog converter's linearity, particularly during very soft (low-level) musical passages. [. . . ]
