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-12 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-12 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for
future use. Shipping or moving the RCD-12 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-12 in a cabinet or when stacking
other equipment. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its weight.
Do not stack heavy components on top of the RCD-12. 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.
Control Identification
This manual shows illustrations of the front and rear panels and the RR-D98
remote control. Each item in the illustrations is identified with a call out in
a grey box. Through out 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 identified with a number call out, such a
remote control are labeled with a letter call out, such as

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input e

Your RCD-12 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-12 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-12 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-12 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 1
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, 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.
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: 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 power LED remains
lit, but the display is turned off.

Output Connections

The RCD-12 gives you a choice of two different kinds of output connections
— 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 unprocessed digital data signal for use with outboard D/A
converters or digital processors.
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will

signal connections.

Analog Outputs -

See Figure 3
A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the
RCD-12 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier,
or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left channel output
of the RCD-12 to the left channel source input on the preamplifier or other
component. Connect the right output of the RCD-12 to the right channel
source input on the preamplifier or other component.
