Getting Started
A Few Precautions
WARNING:
To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the
loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system
components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct
and secure.
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various unit 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 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing
material may result in severe damage to your unit.
If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner's registration
card. 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 unit in a cabinet or when stacking
other equipment. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its weight.
Do not stack heavy components on top of the unit. 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
This manual shows illustrations of the front and rear panels and the RR-D99
remote control. Each item in the illustrations is identified with a call out.
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 as
1
. The items on the remote control are
labeled with a letter call out, such as
A
.
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
e
Your unit 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 unit exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service
person or the Rotel factory service department for information.
NOTE:
Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please use only
the cord appropriate for your country/region.
CD11 should be plugged directly into a polarized wall outlet using the
supplied cable or other high current compatible cable as recommended by
your authorized Rotel dealer. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the unit 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.

buttons may be used to activate the CD player or put it in Standby
mode. In Standby mode the LED indicator above the power switch is red,
but the display is turned off.
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.
12V Trigger Connection
w
The unit can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal. The trigger input accepts
any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. When a
cable is connected to the 12V input and a trigger signal is present, the CD
Player is activated. When the trigger signal is turned off, the unit goes into
standby mode. The front panel power indicator will be red, 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.
NOTE:
If you are using other units in the series with Rotel link, please
use the Rotel Link connection to turn the units on or off. Do not connect
both the Rotel Link and 12V trigger cables. The 12V trigger’s power
on or off features will override the Rotel Link features.
Output Connections
The CD11 unit 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 could damage your speakers, turn
off all the system components when you make any signal connections.
