Getting Started

A Few Precautions

WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the
loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system
components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct
and secure.
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.
If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner`s registration
card. 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.

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.
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 1A
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 A 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.
NOTE: Place the self adhesive ring over the light surrounding the power
switch if the blue light is too bright.

12 Volt Trigger Input [

The RCD-1570 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-1570 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 feature, leave the POWER button
in the ON position.
