Getting Started
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various RCD-1520
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-1520 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material
for future use. Shipping or moving the RCD-1520 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-1520. 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-1520 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-1520.
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-1520 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‑1520 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified
service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.
The RCD-1520 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-1520 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.

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.
