sure the RCD-1070 will deliver the highest level
of audio performance. When used in a high-
quality audio system, your Rotel CD player

A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition
to installation and operating instructions, it pro-
vides valuable information on various RCD-1070
system configurations as well as general infor-
mation that will help you get optimum perfor-
mance from your system. Please contact your
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-1070 shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the RCD-1070 in any-
thing other than the original packing mate-
rial may result in severe damage that is not

amplifier or near a heat register. For best per-
formance, avoid placing the unit where it may
be subject to vibration, such as near a speaker.
