6.0 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

 

6.1 The RD

-

1 is a stand  alone  Radio  with built

-

in speakers but does  provide 

for  connection  to  other  audio  components  that  you  may  wish  to  use. 
(Example: CD Player connected to  Line Input  via a  pair of good quality  RCA 
terminated  shielded  cables.)    The  RD

-

1  also  has  a  pre

-

amplifier  output.  You 

may also use the  RD

-

1 to  connect to your smartphone device and where the 

RD

-

1 acts as Bluetooth Speaker. (more on this later)  

 

6.2 Connect the Radio to the antenna supplied  with the RD

-

1.

 

6.3    With  all  input  and  output  connections  made,  select  the  proper  input  AC 
mains Voltage by sliding the voltage selector to the proper AC Voltage setting.

 

6.4      Use  the  supplied  AC  power  cable  connecting  it  to  the  IEC  receptacle 
located on the rear panel of the integrated amplifier’s chassis. Ensure that the 
AC  wall  outlet  you  use  has  a  functioning  ground.  Then,  it  is  preferable  that 
you plug your  RD

-

1 into a surge suppressor power bar used as well for your 

other audio components, then best is to connect this directly into a dedicated 
AC outlet. Best to avoid using an extension cord. 

 

NOTE: In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system 
we  strongly  recommend  that  the  detachable  power  cord  does  not  come  into 
physical contact with any of the interconnect cables running to and from your 
RD

-

1.  In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure that any ca-

bles coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angle to 
minimize the contact area.
