User manual ROTEL RCD-1520

[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. 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. [. . . ] The cover of this manual has a fold out panel that shows illustrations of the front and rear panels and the RR-D97 remote control. Throughout this manual the items referred to in the text are identified by the corresponding call out. The items on the front and rear panels are identified with a number call out, such a 1. The items on the remote control are labeled with a letter call out, such as A. The RCD-1520 gives you a choice of two different kinds of outputs ­ an analog output signal from the built-in D/A converter for use with conventional analog audio components and a coax digital output which provides an unprocessed digital signal for use with outboard D/A converters or digital processors. Note: To prevent loud noises that could damage your speakers, turn off all the system components when you make any signal connections. The RCD-1520 can be operated from a personal computer running audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending the operating codes normally sent by the RR-D97 remote control over a hard-wired network connection from the computer. The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary connection on the back panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling. [See Figure 3 for wiring illustration] A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-1520 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. Connect the left and right channel outputs of the RCD-1520 to the corresponding inputs on the preamplifier or other component. The RCD-1520 can be operated using its front panel buttons or from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Most of the buttons are duplicated on the front panel and on the IR remote control. However, there are a few exceptions where the buttons are only available on one or the other. [See Figure 4 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-1520. note: When an HDCD disc is played "HDCD" appears in the display. The DIRECT ACCESS buttons may also be used to memorize tracks in PROGRAM mode (see PROGRAM Button section). After the disc is loaded, press the PLAY / button to start playing the disc. The number of the track being played and the elapsed time will be shown in the display, along with the PLAY indicator. 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. SEARCH Buttons 7K The ] and [ buttons fast forward or fast reverse through the disc that is playing. [. . . ] The RANDOM and INTRO play combination can also be used when playing CD-DA discs. Pressing the button once displays the time remaining in the current track, which counts down as the track continues playing. Pressing the button a second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized program). When the alternative time displays are selected an "R" icon appears in the display. [. . . ]
