Connecting the Power Cord

AC Input

Your RDV-1040 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50Hz AC). The AC line con- figuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.

After all the audio/video connections have been made, plug the supplied power cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. Then insert the power plug into an AC wall outlet. The STANDBY indicator lights and setup is complete. Note that a small amount of power (3 watts) is always used while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

Observe the following precautions:

Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands.

Disconnect the power cord if you are not going to use the unit for a long time.

When unplugging the player from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.

Disconnect the power cord before moving the unit.

Do not damage, alter, twist or pull the power cord. This may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents. Con- tact your authorized Rotel dealer and get a new power cord if the cord is damaged.

Do not put anything heavy, on the unit, or the power cord, as this may cause fire, elec- tric shock, or other accidents.
