Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect con- nections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, deter- mine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you experience problems with the RCC-955, refer to the sugges- tions for the following conditions:

Display Is Not Lit

The Disc, Track and Time indicators in the display should be lit whenever the power switch of the RCC-955 is pushed in. If the dis- play does not light, test the power outlet with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch that has been turned off.

Fuse Replacement

If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, but the RCC-955 display will not light when the power switch is pushed in, it indicates that the internal power fuse may have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your autho- rized Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.

Disc Does Not Play

If a disc does not begin playing when the Play button is pressed, open the disc tray and be sure the disc is loaded with the label side up. If a disc is properly loaded inspect the playing side of the disc for contamination or damage. If the disc is dirty, clean it as described in the Handling Compact Discs section. If a disc is dam- aged it should be replaced.

No Sound

Check the input selector on the amplifier to be sure it is properly set. Check the tape monitor switches to be sure they are properly set. Check other signal sources to be sure the amplifier is operat- ing properly. Finally check the audio cables between the RCC-955 and the amplifier to be sure they are properly connected.

Sound Skips

If the sound from the RCC-955 skips or jumps around, the disc may be defective or dirty. If the disc is clean, try another disc. If a problem persists it could be caused by vibrations reaching the RCC-955. Sound vibrations, especially from a subwoofer, can in- terfere with the laser reading a disc surface. Move the RCC-955 to a more stable surface, or to a location farther away from the speakers.

Hum

Hum is caused by electrical interference from other devices. It is most often picked up by the audio signal cables. Use high-quality cables. Low quality cables often have inadequate shielding. Check to be sure the cables are solidly connected to both the RCC-955 and the amplifier. Try moving the cables to a position farther away from other electrical components, especially power amplifiers which have large power transformers. Other devices that com- monly cause interference are fluorescent lights and light dimmer controls.
