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.

Control Identification

The cover of this manual has a fold out panel that shows illustrations of the front and rear panels and the RR-D95 remote control. Each item in the illustrations is identified with a call out in a gray box. Through out this manual the items referred to in the text are identified by the corresponding call out. The items on the front and rear panels are identified with a number call out, such a 1. The items on the remote control are labeled with a letter call out, such as A.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input 16

Your RCD-02 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-02 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.

The RCD-02 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-02 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.

Power Switch 1 and Power Indicator 2

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, indicating 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-02 gives you a choice of two different kinds of output connections — 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 data signal for use with outboard D/A converters or digital processors.

NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the CD player is turned off when you make any signal connections.

Analog Outputs 12

[See Figure 3 for wiring illustration] A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-02 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver.

Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left channel output of the RCD-02 to the left channel source input on the preamplifier or other component. Connect the right output of the RCD-02 to the right channel source input 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-02, taken before the built-in D/A converter. This signal is supplied by the RCD-02's back-panel digital output jack. Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the RCD-02's coax digital output to the coax digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.

Operation

The RCD-02 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 5

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 5 located in the Display area on the front panel of the RCD-02.

Display 5

A lighted Display on the front panel of the RCD-02 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 instructions that follow.

DiscDrawer 4

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-02, 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 centered in the tray. The drawer can be closed in two ways: pushing the OPN/CLS button or pushing the PLAY button.

Transport Control Buttons

These buttons provide basic control functions for the disc transport mechanism. Except where noted, all functions are available on the RCD-02 front panel and the IR remote control. The numbered call outs

OPEN/CLOSE Button 7A

When the transport disc drawer is closed, pressing this button automatically opens the drawer. To close the drawer, press this button again. The drawer can also be closed by pressing the PLAY button

When the drawer is open, the Display will read "OPEN". When it is closed with no disc, the display will read "NO DISC". When the drawer closes with a disc inserted, the Display will indicate the number of tracks on the disc and the total time of the disc in minutes and seconds.

PLAYButtonM

Press the PLAY button to start playing the disc. If the disc drawer is open, it will close automatically. 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 F

This button stops a disc that is playing and resets then the 2 button.

the player, i.e. if play is resumed, the disc will start over from the first track. Pressing the STOP button twice quickly in succession cancels any programmed selections (see below).

PAUSE Button

This 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

These buttons are used to select tracks on the disc. When a disc is playing, pressing the right TRACK button advances to the beginning of the next track. Pressing the left TRACK button returns to the beginning of the current track. Pressing 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.

DIRECT ACCESS Buttons

Remote Only These eleven numeric buttons (labeled 1 through 10 and >10 are used to directly access a track from the IR remote control instead of stepping through the tracks using the TRACK buttons.

The first ten tracks on a disc can be selected by pressing the corresponding button. For example, to play the third track, press the 3 button on the remote control.

When accessing track numbers greater than 10, press the >10 button followed by the track number. For example, to select track 12, press the >10 button followed by the 1 button and is then the 2 button.

The number of the selected track will appear in the main numeric area at the center of the Display.

There is also a four by four matrix of track numbers (1 - 16) located at the right side of the display. This display indicates all of the tracks on the disc. If there are more than 16 tracks on the disc, all of the digits will light accompanied by the word OVER, regardless of which track is playing. This matrix is independent of the main numeric area of the Display, which will always indicate the currently playing track, even if above 16.

The DIRECT ACCESS buttons may also be used to memorize tracks in PROGRAM mode (see below).

SEARCH Buttons

Remote Only These buttons fast forward or fast reverse through the currently playing disc as long as they are pressed. While the buttons are pressed, you will hear high-speed audio. Releasing the buttons returns to PLAY mode.

Additional Features

These convenience features add extra functionality to the RCD-02, including the ability to play high-definition HDCD discs, to memorize a group of tracks to be played, to repeat a disc, program, or track over and over, to play the tracks on a disc in random order, to automatically play the first 10 seconds of each track, and to select from several available time displays.

HDCD

HDCD® is an encoding technique that allows a CD to have greater effective dynamic range, reduced distortion, and increased detail. When playing HDCD encoded discs, the RCD-02 can reproduce as much as 18-bit dynamic range. HDCD discs are identified by an HDCD logo on the package.

No user action is required to play an HDCD recording. The CD player automatically senses HDCD encoding and enables the circuitry. The HDCD LED on the front panel will light to indicate that an HDCD disc is being played.

PROGRAM Button 1

Remote Only
This button, labeled PROG, allows you to memorize as many as 20 tracks on the current disc for playback in a specific order. For example, you could instruct the RCD-02 to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8. To begin a program:

1 Insert a disc and press the OPEN/CLOSE button to close the drawer. The RCD-02 will read the contents of the disc.
2 Press the PROGRAM button on the remote control. The PROGRAM indicator will light up in the Display, along with "P:00" indicating that the unit is waiting for the first track to be memorized.

1. Enter the first track number using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your selection will be memorized automatically and the Display indicator will change to "P:01", indicating that one track has been memorized. Continue entering the rest of your selections using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Note that there is no need to press the PROGRAM button as each selection is memorized as it is entered.

Once you have memorized a play list, the RCD-02 remains in PROGRAM mode until you open the disc drawer or press the STOP button twice in succession. If you press the PLAY button, the memorized program will play instead of the entire disc, starting with the first selection in the memorized list.

When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most functions that would normally effect the entire disc operate on just the memo-rized program. For example, the TRACK buttons advance to the next track in the memorized program, not the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT button (see below) continuously plays the memorized program, not the entire disc.

REVIEW Button 1

Remote Only

This button is used to review the memorized tracks in PROGRAM mode. Press the button and the first memorized track number will appear in order in the Display, flashing for approximately five seconds. Pressing the REVIEW button again while the track number is flashing will continue the review sequence, showing the next memorized track. Continue pressing the REVIEW button to see the complete memorized track list.

If you do not press the REVIEW button while the track number is flashing, the review process is terminated and the unit resumes whatever mode it was in before you started to review, except that the last reviewed track number will remain active and shown in the display.

Note that you may remove a selection from the play list during the review procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below.

CLEAR Button

Remote Only

This button allows you to remove a track selection from the memorized program play list during the review procedure described above. Follow the review procedure until the desired track number is flashing. Then, instead of pressing the REVIEW button to continue, remove the displayed track by pressing the CLEAR button while the number is still flashing. You may then continue the review procedure.

RANDOM Button D

Remote Only

This instructs the CD player to play tracks from the entire disc in random order. Once all of the selections have been played once, the disc will stop playing, unless the REPEAT Button (see below) has been engaged, in which case the random play will continue until the STOP button is pressed. When the RANDOM button is engaged, the word RANDOM appears in the Display.

REPEAT BuHon

Remote Only

This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc continuously until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT button or pressing STOP. The REPEAT button steps sequentially through the available options. Press the button once and the RCD-02 will repeat just the current track, displaying the indicators REPEAT 1 in the Display. Press the button a second time and the RCD-02 will repeat the entire disc, displaying REPEAT ALL in the Display. Press the button a third time to cancel the REPEAT function.

As noted above, REPEAT can be used in conjunction with the RANDOM play feature.

NOTE: The REPEAT function is automatically cancelled when the disc drawer is opened.

SCAN Button

Remote Only

This feature automatically plays the first ten seconds of each track on the disc (or the memorized program). To activate the feature, press the SCAN button. The word INTRO appears in the Dis play. To stop scanning and resume normal operation at the current track, press the SCAN button again or press the PLAY button.

TIME Button ⑥

Remote Only

Normally, the RCD-02 displays the elapsed time of the currently playing track. The TIME button allows you to step through two alternative time displays. Pressing the button once displays the time remaining in the current track, which counts down as the track continues playing. Pressing the button a second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized program). Pressing the button a third time reverts to the standard elapsed time display. When the TIME feature is activated, the word REMAIN appears in the Display.

External Remote Input 15

This 3.5mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN) receives command codes from an industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) located in the main listening room. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.

12V Trigger Connection

The RCD-02 can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel preamplifier.

The trigger input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. When a cable is connected to the input and a trigger signal is present, the CD Player is activated. When the trigger signal is interrupted, the unit goes into standby mode. The front panel indicator light remains lit, but the display goes dark and the unit will not operate.

NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger feature, leave the POWER button in the ON position.

Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the RCD-02, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:

Power Indicator Is Not Lit

The Power Indicator and the basic items in the Display window should be lit whenever the RCD-02 is plugged into the wall power outlet and the Power button is pushed in. If it does not light, test the power outlet with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch that has been turned off.

Fuse Replacement

If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, but the Power Indicator and the Display still will not light when the RCD-02 is plugged into the wall outlet, it indicates that the internal power fuse may have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your authorized Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.

No Sound

Check the cables between the RCD-02 and the amplifier inputs to be sure they are connected properly. Be sure the correct amplifier input is selected. Be sure the tape monitor system of the amplifier has not been activated. Check the wiring between the amplifier and the speakers.
