A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. It provides information on how to incorporate the RCC-1055 into your system as well as infor- mation that will help you get optimum sound performance. Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel wel- come your questions and comments.

NOTE: There are 2 screws that hold the disc drawer securely in place during ship- ment. The screws have red plastic handles that make them easy to identify and re- move. Gently turn the RCC-1055 on its side and turn the screws counterclockwise to re- move them. If the screws are not removed the disc drawer will not open.

If you neglected to remove the screws be- fore attempting to use the RCC-1055, turn the unit off and unplug it from the wall out- let. Then remove the screws as described above.

Keep the screws in a safe place because they must be replaced when the RCC-1055 is moved. Before the RCC-1055 is moved, remove all the CDs from the disc tray and close the disc drawer. Wait until the display shows Ò0 00 00:0Ó then turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Turn the unit on its side and re- install the screws.

Save the RCC-1055 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Ship- ping or moving the RCC-1055 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier.

The RCC-1055 is de- signed to play compact discs bearing the identi- fication logo shown here. Other types of disc must not be used.

Before moving the RCC-1055, remove all discs from the unit. This will prevent possible dam- age should the discs shift out of their normal positions inside the unit.

Keep the disc tray closed except when load- ing or unloading discs. This helps keep dust away from the sensitive laser pick up.

Fill out and send in the ownerÕs registration card packed with the RCC-1055. 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 ever re- quired.

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low- level signals, the RCC-1055 can be affected by its environment. To minimize the chance the RCC-1055 will pick up hum or interfer- ence, do not place it on top of an amplifier or any other device that has a large power transformer. Keep the RCC-1055 away from devices that have motors for the same reason. Do not place the RCC-1055 where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Finally do not use the RCC-1055 where the temperature will be above 95°F/35°C or below 41°F/5°C. If the RCC-1055 is moved from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation can form on the optical components, which will prevent proper operation. Do not use the RCC-1055 for at least 30 minutes after it is moved from a cold environment.

We recommend installing the RCC-1055 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or sup- press vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.

Cables

Be sure to keep the power cords, digital sig- nal cables and regular audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the regular au- dio signal cables picking up noise or inter- ference from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.

Handling Compact Discs

Handle CDs carefully. Hold them by their edges, as shown here, and avoid touching the playing surface.

Fingerprints and dust should

be carefully wiped off the discÕs signal surface (glossy surface) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

Never use chemicals, such as record clean- ing sprays, anti-static sprays or fluids, ben- zine or thinner to clean compact discs. These chemicals will damage the discÕs plastic sur- face.

Keep discs in their storage cases when not in use to protect them from dust and scratches. Do not expose compact discs to direct sun- light, high humidity or high temperatures for extended periods of time.
