Getting Started

A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully.

Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.

Save the RCD‑1520 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RCD‑1520 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage that is not covered by the warranty.

Fill out and send in the owner’s registration card packed with the RCD‑1520. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is required.

Placement

Use common sense when placing the RCD‑1520 in a cabinet or when stacking other equipment. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its weight. Do not stack components on top of the RCD‑1520. Avoid placing the unit where it may be subject to excessive heat such as on top of a large power amplifier or near a heat register. For best performance, avoid placing the unit where it may be subject to vibration, such as near a speaker.

Throughout this manual the items referred to in the text are identified by the corresponding call out. The items on the front and rear panels are identified with

a number call out, such a 1 . The items on the remote control are labeled with a letter call out, such as A.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input [

Your RCD‑1520 is configured at the factory for the proper AC voltage in the country where you purchased it, either 120 volts or 230 volts. The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel.

Note: Should you move your CD player to another country, it may be possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the RCD‑1520 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.

The RCD‑1520 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio system. Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the RCD‑1520 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.

The Power switch is located on the front panel of your CD player. To turn the CD player on, push the switch in. The ring around 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.

When the Power switch is in the On position, the remote control ON and OFF buttons may be used to activate the CD player or put it in Standby mode. In Standby mode the ring around the power switch remains lit, but the display is turned off.

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.
