ROTEL HDCD Single Play Compact Disc Player RCD-1072 - Manual (Page 6)

6 RCD-1072 Stereo Compact Disc Player
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
Your RCD-1072 is configured at the factory
for the proper AC voltage in the country where
you purchased it (either 115 volts or 230/ 240
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 con-
version yourself. Opening the enclosure of
the RCD-1072 exposes you to dangerous
voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for
information.
The RCD-1072 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-1072 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 au-
dio and video components) while you are
away.
Power Switch and Power
Indicator
The power switch is located on the front panel
of your CD player. To turn the CD player on,
push the switch in. The LED indicator above
the switch and the Display will light up, indi-
cating that the CD player is turned on. To turn
the CD player off, push the button again and
return it to the “out” position.
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.
Output Connections
The RCD-1072 gives you a choice of two dif-
ferent kinds of outputs – an analog output signal
from the built-in D/A converter for use with
conventional analog audio components and
a coax digital output which provides an un-
processed digital signal for use with outboard
D/A converters or digital processors.
Note: To prevent loud noises that could
damage your speakers, turn off all the sys-
tem components when you make any signal
connections.
Analog Outputs
[See Figure 3 for wiring illustration]
A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an
analog output signal from the RCD-1072 to
the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, in-
tegrated amplifier, or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables.
Connect the left and right channel outputs of
the RCD-1072 to the corresponding inputs on
the preamplifier or other component.
Digital Output
[See Figure 4 for wiring illustration]
If you are using an outboard D/A converter
or other digital processor, you will need an
unprocessed digital data stream from the
RCD-1072. Using a standard 75 ohm coax
digital cable, connect the RCD-1072’s digi-
tal output to the digital input connector on the
outboard D/A converter.
12 Volt Trigger Input
The RCD-1072 can be activated by a 12 volt
trigger signal. The trigger input accepts any
control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts
to 30 volts. When a cable is connected to the
12V input and a trigger signal is present, the
RCD-1072 is activated. When the trigger signal
is turned off, the unit goes into standby mode.
The front panel power indicator remains lit,
but the display goes dark and the unit will not
operate.
NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger fea-
ture, leave the POWER button in the ON
position.
EXT REMOTE IN Jack
This 3.5mm mini-jack receives command codes
from industry-standard infrared receivers
(Xantech, etc.) via hard-wired connections. This
feature could prove useful when the unit is
installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor
is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer
for information on these external repeaters and
the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack
receptacle.
Operation
The RCD-1072 can be operated using its front
panel buttons or from corresponding buttons
on the supplied infrared remote control. Spe-
cific instructions for each of these controls are
detailed below. Most of the buttons are du-
plicated on the front panel and on the IR re-
mote control. However, there are a few ex-
ceptions where the buttons are only available
on one or the other. These exceptions are noted
in the instructions.
Infrared Remote Control
Before using the IR remote control, it is nec-
essary to install two “UM-4/AAA” batteries
(supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the back
of the IR remote, install the batteries (observ-
ing the + and – polarity indications), and
reinstall the cover.
To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR
sensor
located in the lower left corner of
the RCD-1072 front panel.
Display
A lighted Display on the front panel of the
RCD-1072 provides useful information about
the status of the unit, activation of special fea-
tures, and track/time information for the disc
being played. Each of these indicators is de-
scribed in the detailed operating instructions
that follow.
