ing to, and fine tuning each new product until
it reaches their exacting musical standards.
They are free to choose components from

A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. In addition
to installation and operating instructions, it will
help you get optimum performance from your
new DVD player. Please contact your autho-
rized Rotel retailer for answers to any ques-
tions you might have. In addition, all of us at
Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RSDX-02e shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use. Ship-
ping or moving the RSDX-02e in anything other
than the original packing material may result
in damage that is not covered by the warranty.

Placement

Use common sense when placing the RSDX-02e
in a cabinet or when stacking other equipment.
Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can sup-
port its weight. Do not stack heavy compo-
nents on top of the RSDX-02e. Avoid placing
the unit where it may be subject to excessive
heat such as on top of a large power ampli-
fier or near a heat register. For best perfor-
mance, avoid placing the unit where it may
be subject to vibration, such as near a speaker.
