AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
Your RCD-1070 is configured at the factory
for the proper AC voltage in the country where
you purchased it (either 115 volts or 230/
240 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-1070 exposes you to danger-
ous voltages. Consult a qualified service
person or the Rotel factory service depart-
ment for information.
The RCD-1070 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-1070 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 au-
dio and video components) while you are
away.
Power Switch and Power
Indicator
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, indi-
cating 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.
Output Connections
The RCD-1070 gives you a choice of two dif-
ferent kinds of outputs – 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 signal for use with out-
board D/A converters or digital processors.
Note: To prevent loud noises that could
damage your speakers, turn off all the sys-
tem components when you make any sig-
nal connections.
Analog Outputs
[See Figure 3 for wiring illustration]
A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an
analog output signal from the RCD-1070 to
the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, in-
tegrated amplifier, or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables.
Connect the left and right channel outputs of
the RCD-1070 to the corresponding inputs on
the preamplifier or other component.
Digital Output
[See Figure 4 for wiring illustration]
If you are using an outboard D/A converter
or other digital processor, you will need an
unprocessed digital data stream from the
RCD-1070. Using a standard 75 ohm coax
digital cable, connect the RCD-1070’s digi-
tal output to the digital input connector on the
outboard D/A converter.
12 Volt Trigger Input
The RCD-1070 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-1070 is activated. When the trigger sig-
nal 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 fea-
ture, leave the POWER button in the ON
position.
Operation
The RCD-1070 can be operated using its front
panel buttons or from corresponding buttons
on the supplied infrared remote control. Spe-
cific instructions for each of these controls are
detailed below. Most of the buttons are du-
plicated on the front panel and on the IR re-
mote control. However, there are a few ex-
ceptions where the buttons are only available
on one or the other. These exceptions are noted
in the instructions.
Infrared Remote Control
Before using the IR remote control, it is nec-
essary to install two “UM-4/AAA” batteries
(supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the
back of the IR remote, install the batteries (ob-
serving the + and – polarity indications), and
reinstall the cover.
To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR
sensor
located in the lower left corner of
the RCD-1070 front panel.
Display
A lighted Display on the front panel of the
RCD-1070 provides useful information about
the status of the unit, activation of special
features, and track/time information for the
disc being played. Each of these indicators
is described in the detailed operating instruc-
tions that follow.
Disc Drawer
A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the
center of the RCD-1070, slides out to accept
a compact disc and retracts to play the disc.
Place the compact disc in the drawer label-
side up. Make sure the disc is properly cen-
tered in the tray. The drawer can be closed
in two ways: pushing the OPN/CLS button or
pushing the PLAY button.
