About the RCD-1572MKII

Simply stated, the unit is designed to do one thing—deliver the most detailed, nuanced sound from every disc. The unit will faithfully reproduce all that is recorded on the disc. While the unit was under development, the design team went far beyond the usual measurable technical performance characteristics. Listening panels spent hundreds of hours fine-tuning the audio performance, choosing the components that produced the best sound, that would “release the emotion in the music”. Whatever the artist and recording engineers put on the disc, the unit will deliver.

That said, the unit does feature some impressive hardware. Digital to Analog conversion is processed with a state of the art Texas Instruments 32 bit DAC. All this, combined with Rotel’s Balanced Design, ensures the unit will deliver the highest level of audio performance. When used in a high-quality audio system, your Rotel CD player will provide years of enjoyment.

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 complete the owner’s registration card or register online. 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. Throughout 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 called 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 i
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.

RCD-1572MKII 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. Power Switch and POWER Indicator 1A Press the front panel Power Switch button, to turn the unit on. The Power Indicator light is illuminated when the unit is on. Press the Power Switch button again to turn the unit off.

When the power switch is in the ON position, the remote control ON and OFF buttons may be used to activate the RCD-1572MKII or put it in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the power LED remains illuminated, 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 u
See Figure 5
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 remain illuminated, 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.

Output Connections

The RCD-1572MKII unit gives you a choice of two different kinds of output connections — and analog outputs signal from the built-in D/A converter for use with conventional analog audio components and a coax digital output that 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.

Analog Outputs w
See Figures 3 and 4
A pair of standard RCA jacks and XLR balanced connectors supplies an analog output signal from the RCD-1572MKII to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. You should choose only one method of analog connection from the RCD-1572MKII. Do not connect both the RCA and XLR at the same time.

Select high-quality audio interconnects cables. Connect the left and right channel outputs of the RCD-1572MKII to the corresponding inputs on the preamplifier or another component.

Digital Output e
See Figure 5
If you are using an outboard D/A converter or another digital processor, you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-1572MKII. Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the RCD-1572MKII’s coax digital output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.

Operation

The unit 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 
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 = located in the lower-left corner of the RCD-1572MKII front panel.

Display 5
A back-lit display on the front panel of the unit 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.

Disc Tray 13
A motor-driven disc loading tray located in the center of the unit accepts a compact disc. Press the eject button then place the disc into the tray, label side up. Make sure the disc is properly centered before loading. The disc can be ejected by pressing the eject button again.

If no disc is loaded when the tray is closed the display will read “No Disc”. When a disc is loaded, the display will indicate the number of tracks on the disc and the total time of the disc in hours, minutes, and seconds.

PLAY Button 6E
After the disc is loaded, press the PLAY button u 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 u to start playing a different selection.

STOP Button 8E
Press the STOP button once to stop disc play. Press the PLAY button u to resume disc play where it was stopped. If the STOP button is pressed twice, disc play stops, the display shows the STOP indicator. When the PLAY button u is pressed after pressing the STOP button twice, the disc begins playing from the first track or the first programmed track in PROGRAM mode (see below).

PAUSE Button 9E
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 u.

TRACK Buttons -J
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 the TRACK button 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 u 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 D
Remote Only
These ten numeric buttons (labeled 0 through 9) are used to directly access a track from the IR remote control instead of stepping through the tracks using the TRACK buttons.
The first nine tracks on a disc can be selected by pressing the corresponding button. For example, to play the third track, press the 3 buttons on the remote control.
When accessing track numbers greater than 9, enter the 2 digit track number on the remote control.

NOTE: The >10 buttons are not used for this model.
The number of the selected track will appear in the main numeric area at the center of the display.

SEARCH Button 0F
These fast forward and fast reverse buttons / allow fast searching through the currently playing disc. One press of these buttons will fast forward or fast reverse at 2X normal speed. Pressing these buttons repeatedly will fast forward or fast reverse at 4X and 8X normal speed. Pressing the PLAY button returns the player to normal speed. While the fast search function is active, you will hear high-speed audio.

Additional Features

These convenience features add extra functionality to the RCD-1572MKII, including the ability 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, and to select from several available time displays.

PROGRAM Button G
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-1572MKII to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8.

To begin a program:

  1. Insert a disc into the tray loader. The RCD-1572MKII will read the contents of the disc.
  2. Press the PROG button on the remote control. The PROGRAM indicator will light up in the display, along with “PROG-01” indicating that the unit is waiting for the first track to be memorized.
  3. Enter the first track number using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your selection will be memorized automatically. Press PROG button again then the display indicator will change to “PROG-02”. Continue entering the rest of your selections using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons.

Once you have memorized a play list, the RCD-1572MKII remains in PROGRAM mode until you eject the disc or press and hold the PROG button for 3 seconds. If you press the PLAY button u, 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 affect the entire disc operate on just the memorized 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.

NOTE: The Random button does not function when playing a program.
To activate the Random button the unit must exit Program playback.
NOTE: Direct track access is not available when in the PROGRAM mode.

RANDOM Button 3G
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.

REPEAT Button 2G 
This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc continuously until the feature is canceled by disengaging the REPEAT button or pressing the STOP button. The REPEAT button steps sequentially through the available options. Press the button once and the RCD-1572MKII will repeat just the current track. Press the button a  second time and the RCD-1572MKII will repeat the entire disc. 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 canceled when the disc is ejected.

TIME Button 4G
Normally, the RCD-1572MKII 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.

NOTE: If a disc has CD-Text information on it, pressing the play button during playback will alternate between standard disc information and any CD Text data being shown on the display.

RS232 r
The unit can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation systems.
The RS232 input accepts a standard straight DB-9 Male-to-Female cable.

If you are unable to get sound from the unit, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:

Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated
The Power Indicator and the basic items in the display window should be illuminated whenever the unit 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 unit 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 Roteldealer to get the fuse replaced.

No Sound
Check the cables between the unit 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.
