[. . . ] Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. The cable should be connected to a 2-pin polarized wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot of the receptacle. Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. [. . . ] The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time. Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a qualified service agency if: · · · · · The power supply cord or plug has been damaged. The unit shows signs of improper operation The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way This symbol is to alert the user to important operating and maintenance (service) instructions in this manual and literature accompanying the product. Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong enough to support its weight. Do not place it on a moveable cart that could tip over.

Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information. The RX-404 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 RX-404 is turned off. 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 RX-404 (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. 3 DTS® SURROUND ADAPTOR RX-404 Power Switch 1 and Power Indicator 2 The power switch is located on the front panel of your RX-404 Surround Adaptor. The LED indicator above the switch will light, indicating that the unit is turned on. To turn the RX-404 off, push the button again and return it to the out position. Analog Signal Connections The RX-404 has 5. 1 channel analog output connections for sending decoded DTS information (six discrete channels: left front, right front, center, left rear, right rear, and subwoofer) to the surround processor or system controller. In addition, the RX-404 features a 5. 1 channel analog pass-through input, which can be used to accept a decoded 5. 1 channel signal from another outboard decoder, such as Dolby Digital, to the surround processor, thus simplifying connections in an elaborate system. Digital Signal Connections The RX-404 features two standard digital inputs (optical or coaxial) which receive a digital data stream from a DTS-compatible LaserDisc or DVD player. In addition, a pass-through digital output connector (coaxial) can be used to send the raw digital data stream to another processor, such as a Dolby Digital® decoder. Digital Inputs Digital Input Selector Switch Coaxial Digital Output DTS Indicator 5 25-pin Analog Output 10 and 7 The RX-404's digital inputs accept a digital signal from your LaserDisc or DVD player. Two types of digital inputs are available ­ an optical input connection and a 75 ohm coaxial input connection. Select the type of connection that best matches the output connector on your video disc player or other source component, using either a standard optical digital cable or a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable. 6 The most convenient analog output connection is the rear panel 25-pin connector. [. . . ] Select the type of connection that best matches the output connector on your video disc player or other source component, using either a standard optical digital cable or a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable. 6 The most convenient analog output connection is the rear panel 25-pin connector. This is a standard DB-25 connector which carries all six channels of decoded analog signal in a single cable. If you are using a surround processor which has a matching DB-25 input, such as all Rotel surround processors, this will provide a convenient, simplified output connection. Simply connect the output to the matching 5. 1 channel input on your surround processor using a standard female-to-male DB-25 audio connector. RCA Analog Outputs 11 A two-position switch located between the digital inputs selects the appropriate digital input connector, either optical or coax. [. . . ]
