User manual ROTEL RCD-855

[. . . ] Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. For example, do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation slots. If the component is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be sufficient clearance around the unit and ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance that produces heat. [. . . ] Not as many components feature XLR connections, but, when available, they may provide less chance of noise and improved signal quality. Use whichever type of signal connection matches your particular system configuration. Connect the left channel output of the RCD-855 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. Opening the enclosure of the RCD-855 exposes you to dangerous voltages. 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. The drawer can be closed in two ways: pushing the OPEN button or pushing the PLAY button. Pressing the STOP button twice cancels any programmed selections (see below). Except where noted, all functions are available on the RCD-855 front panel and the IR remote control. The circled numbers provide a convenient reference for finding the button on the illustrations of the RCD-855 and the IR remote control at the front of this manual. When a disc is playing, pressing the right TRACK button advances to the beginning of the next track. Pressing the left TRACK button returns to the beginning of the current track. Pressing twice quickly in succession returns to the beginning of the previous track. These buttons are also used to select a track before pressing the PLAY button or when memorizing tracks for the PROGRAM play mode (see below). These selections are made by continuously pressing the TRACK buttons until the desired track is reached. These eleven numeric buttons (labeled 1 through 10 and >10) are used to directly access a track from the remote control instead of stepping through the tracks using the TRACK buttons. The first ten tracks on a disc can be selected by pressing the corresponding button. [. . . ] Continue pressing the REVIEW button to see the complete memorized track list. 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. Pressing the button a second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized program). Note: You may remove a selection from the play list during the review procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below. [. . . ]
