Each of these indicators is described in the detailed operating instructions that follow. Disc Slot = A disc slot located in the center of the RCD-1570, accepts the disc and pulls it into the disc transport. Insert the disc label-side up. After the disc is loaded the display shows the number of tracks on the disc. Transport Control Buttons These buttons provide basic control functions for the disc transport mechanism. Except where noted, all functions are available on the RCD-1570 front panel and the IR remote control. PLAY Button qF After the disc is loaded, press the PLAY button to start playing the disc. The number of the track being played and the elapsed time will be shown in the display, along with the PLAY indicator. Normally, the disc will start playing with the first track. However, you can select a different track using the TRACK buttons or the DIRECT ACCESS buttons (see below) before pressing the PLAY button to start playing a different selection. STOP Button wE Press the STOP button once to stop disc play. Press the PLAY button to resume disc play where it was stopped. If the STOP button is press twice, disc play stops, the display shows STOP and programmed selections are deleted (see below). When the PLAY button is press after pressing the STOP button twice, the disc begins playing from the first track. PAUSE Button eN The PAUSE button is used to temporarily suspend play. The disc continues to spin and play will be resumed from the current position. The PAUSE indicator will light in the Display. To resume playing the disc, press the PAUSE button again or press the PLAY button. TRACK Buttons rtO These buttons are used to select tracks on the disc. When a disc is playing, pressing the TRACK button advances to the beginning of the next track. Pressing the TRACK button returns to the beginning of the current track. Pressing TRACK twice quickly in succession returns to the beginning of the previous track. The new track number appears in the Display. These buttons are also used to select a track before pressing the PLAY button or when memorizing tracks for the PROGRAM play mode (see below). These selections are made by continuously pressing the TRACK buttons until the desired track is reached. In PROGRAM mode, the TRACK buttons advance or reverse to the next track in the memorized selection list. Output Connections The RCD-1570 gives you a choice of two different 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 outboard D/A converters or digital processors.NOTE: To prevent loud noises that could damage your speakers, turn off all the system components when you make any signal connections. Analog Outputs y See Figure 3 and Figure 4 A pair of standard RCA jacks and XLR balanced connectors supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-1570 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. You should choose only one method of analog connection from the RCD-1570. Do not connect both the RCA and XLR at the same time.Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left and right channel outputs of the RCD-1570 to the corresponding inputs on the preamplifier or other component. Digital Output u See Figure 5 If you are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-1570. Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the RCD-1570’s digital output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.When playing CD-DA, MP3 and WMA discs the Digital Output provides a PCM data stream. NOTE: When an HDCD disc is played “HDCD” appears in the display. However the analog output is not HDCD decoded. Operation The RCD-1570 can be operated using its front panel buttons or from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Specific instructions for each of these controls are detailed below. Most of the buttons are duplicated on the front panel and on the IR remote control. However, there are a few exceptions where the buttons are only available on one or the other. These exceptions are noted in the instructions. Infrared Remote Control 8 Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary to install two “UM-4/AAA” batteries (supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the back of the IR remote, install the batteries (observing the + and – polarity indications), and reinstall the cover.To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR sensor 8 located in the lower left corner of the RCD-1570 front panel.10 RCD-1570 Stereo Compact Disc Player
