IMPORTANT INFORMATION REQUIRED BY FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION CONCERNING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception.

This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Computing Device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/ television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

PRECAUTIONS

Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Never operate this product with the cabinet removed. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a trained service technician.

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

If you’re not going to use your player for a month or more, be sure to remove batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

SERVICE INFORMATION

This product should be serviced only by those specially trained in appropriate servicing techniques.

Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained service technician for inspection.

This Compact Disc Player uses a laser to read the music on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a traditional record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated according to directions.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

Targeted towards music enthusiasts and collectors, these models integrate a range of features that enhance the listening experience while maintaining a classic aesthetic.

One of the standout characteristics of the RCA RP-7983 and RP-7984 is their use of a fully automatic turntable system.

Another significant aspect of these phonographs is their beautiful cabinetry. The wooden finish not only adds an element of elegance but also contributes to the acoustic properties of the unit. The solid wood construction helps to minimize vibrations, providing a stable platform for sound reproduction.

Connectivity options on the RP-7983 and RP-7984 are designed to meet the needs of modern users. Both models include outputs that allow for integration with modern audio systems. This versatility enables users to connect their phonographs to external amplifiers or powered speakers, ensuring optimal sound delivery.
