User manual ROTEL RCD-961

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 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 monthlong vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your CD player (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. Note: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the CD player is turned off when you make any signal connections. Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary to install two "UM-4/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 located in the Display area on the sensor front panel of the RCD-961. A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-961 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. Connect the left channel output of the RCD-961 to the left channel source input on the preamplifier or other component. A lighted Display on the front panel of the RCD-961 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 are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-961, taken before the built-in D/A converter. The LED indicator above the switch and the Display will light up, indicating that the CD player is turned on. To turn the CD player off, push the button again and return it to the "out" position. A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-961, slides out to accept a compact disc and retracts to play the disc. The drawer can be closed in two ways: pushing the OPN/CLS button or pushing the PLAY button. Note: If you are using a switched outlet to turn on and off your CD player, you should leave the power switch in the "on" position. When AC power is applied to the unit, it will power up in fully active mode. There is also a four by four matrix of track numbers (1 ­ 16) located at the right side of the display. If there are more than 16 tracks on the disc, all of the digits will light accompanied by the word OVER, regardless of which track is playing. This matrix is independent of the main numeric area of the Display, which will always indicate the currently playing track, even if above 16. The DIRECT ACCESS buttons may also be used to memorize tracks in PROGRAM mode (see below). Except where noted, all functions are available on the RCD-961 front panel and the IR remote control. [. . . ] 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. Note that you may remove a selection from the play list during the review procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below. This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc continuously until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT button or pressing STOP. [. . . ]
