A Few Precautions
8
Please read this manual carefully. In addition
9
to installation and operating instructions, it pro-
vides valuable information on various RCD-961
system configurations as well as general infor-
9
mation that will help you get optimum perfor-
9
mance from your system. Please contact your
9
authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any
quesions you might have. In addition, all of us
at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RCD-961 shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the RCD-961 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 owner's registration
card packed with the RCD-961. 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 re-
quired.
Placement
Use common sense when placing the RCD-961
in a cabinet or when stacking other equip-
ment. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can
support its weight. Do not stack heavy com-
ponents on top of the RCD-961. Avoid plac-
ing 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.
