Cautions on Handling
- Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.
Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
- Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty, in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.
- About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.
- Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
- Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.
Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.
Cautions on Installation
Note:
For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.
Cautions on Handling
Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from their cases.
Do not bend or heat discs.
Do not enlarge the hole at the center.
Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens, pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.
Cautions on Storing Discs
Be sure to remove discs after using them.
Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust, scratches, warping, etc.
Do not store discs in the following places:
Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
Dusty or humid places
Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.
Cleaning Discs
If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause interruptions in playback.
Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean discs.
Gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside.
Do not wipe with a circular motion.
NOTE
Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, or benzene, thinner or other solvents.
About the Remote Control Unit
Inserting the Batteries
① Remove the remote control unit's rear cover.
② Set two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.
③ Put the rear cover back on.
NOTE
Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated close to the unit.
The supplied batteries are only for verifying operation.
When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the “ ” and “ ” marks in the battery compartment.
To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
Do not use two different types of batteries.
Do not attempt to charge dry batteries.
Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.
If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if it will not be in use for long periods.
Operating Range of the Remote Control Unit
Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor when operating it.
NOTE
The set may function improperly or the remote control unit may not operate if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight, strong artificial light from an inverter type fluorescent lamp or infrared light.

Speaker Connections
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and - (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the RCD-CX1, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1 Peel off about 10mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.
2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.
4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
NOTE
Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω/ohms. The protection circuit may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specified are used.
Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other ("Protection circuit").
Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
The protection circuit will be activated in the following cases:
When the speaker cable's core wires are touching the rear panel or screws or when the speaker cable's + and - sides are touching
When the surrounding temperature is extremely high
When the internal temperature rises due to extended use with a high output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections of the speaker cables and input cables. If the set's temperature is extremely high, wait for it to cool off and improve surrounding ventilation. After doing this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated though there are no problems in ventilation around the set or in connections, the set could be damaged. Turn off the power, then contact a DENON servicing and inquiry outlet.
Connecting the Playback Components
Record Player
With some record players, noise may be generated when the ground wire is connected. If so, disconnect the ground wire.
Set the CARTRIDGE selection switch to "MM" or "MC" according to the cartridge being used.
NOTE
The RCD-CX1's SIGNAL GND terminal is meant to reduce noise when a record player is connected. This is not a safety ground terminal.
iPod®
Use a DENON control dock for iPod (ASD-1R or ASD-3N/3W, sold separately) to connect the iPod to the RCD-CX1.
When using a control dock for iPod, the Control Dock for iPod must be set. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the Control Dock for iPod.
When the control dock for iPod is connected, the function indicator switches from "LINE1" to "iPod".
To use an iPod, see "iPod® Playback" (20 page 22).
Connecting a Power Amp and Subwoofer
Use when adding a power amp, subwoofer, etc.
NOTE
DO NOT insert a short pin plug for recording output (REC) and pre-out terminals, as this may result in damage.
Connecting the Recording Components
CD Recorder / MD Recorder / Tape Deck
Analog connections
Digital connections
No digital signals are output for Super Audio CDs.
When connecting the optical digital output connector with an optical transmission cable (sold separately)
Remove the protective cap, match the shapes, then insert firmly all the way in.
Store the protective cap in a safe place so as not to lose it, and use it when not using the terminal.
Connections to Other Devices

The AM and FM reception sensitivity depends on the place the antenna is set and the direction in which it is set. Set it so that reception is best.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
1 Push the lever.
2 Insert the conductor.
3 Return the lever.
NOTE
Make sure the AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch metal parts of the panel.
