All this, combined with RotelÊs Balanced Design, ensures the RCD-1570
will deliver the highest level of audio performance. When used in a high-
quality audio system, your Rotel CD player will provide years of enjoyment.
Getting Started
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various RCD-1570 system
configurations as well as general information that will help you get optimum
performance from your system. 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-1570 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material
for future use. Shipping or moving the RCD-1570 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 ownerÊs registration card packed with the
RCD-1570. 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-1570 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-1570.
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.

D98 remote control. Each item in the illustrations is identified with a call
out. 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

AC Power and Control
AC Power Input ]
Your RCD-1570 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-1570 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified
service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.

RCD-1570 Stereo Compact Disc Player
Note: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please use only
the cord appropriate for your country/region.
The RCD-1570 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-1570 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.
Power Switch and Power Indicator 1 and
Remote On and Off Buttons
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.
Output Connections
The RCD-1570 gives you a choice of two different kinds of outputs
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 unprocessed 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 system components when you make any signal connections.
Analog Outputs y
[See Figure 3 and Figure 4 for wiring illustration]
A pair of standard RCA jacks and XLR balanced connectors supplies an
analog output signal from the RCD-1570 to the source inputs of an audio
preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. You should choose only
one method of analog connection from the RCD-1570. Do not connect
both the RCA and XLR at the same time.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left and right
channel outputs of the RCD-1570 to the corresponding inputs on the
preamplifier or other component.
