User manual ROTEL RCD-971

[. . . ] WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the RCD-971 to moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. [. . . ] Your RCD-971 is configured at the factory for the proper AC voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 volts or 230/ 240 volts. The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel. [See Figure 2 for wiring illustration] A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-971 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left channel output of the RCD-971 to the left channel source input on the preamplifier or other component. Note: Should you move your CD player to another country, it may be possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the RCD-971 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information. The RCD-971 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-971 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 an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-971, taken before the built-in D/A converter. Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary to install two "AAA" batteries (supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the back of the IR remote, install the batteries (observing the + and ­ polarity indications), and reinstall the cover. To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR sensor located in the Display area on the front panel of the RCD-971. The number of the track being played and the elapsed time will be shown in the display, along with the PLAY indicator. Normally, the disc will start playing with the first track. 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 selection. A lighted Display on the front panel of the RCD-971 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. [. . . ] If you do not press the REVIEW button while the track number is flashing, the review process is terminated and the unit resumes whatever mode it was in before you started to review, except that the last reviewed track number will remain active and shown in the display. Note that you may remove a selection from the play list during the review procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below. This button, labeled PROG, allows you to memorize as many as 20 tracks on the current disc for playback in a specific order. For example, you could instruct the RCD-971 to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8. [. . . ]
