CD MULTI-DISC CHANGER RCC-955

About HDCD® 12

HDCD discs are encoded with a high density data stream. During playback this high density data stream is decoded to a conventional digital signal. This HDCD encode/decode system greatly reduces the errors that are normally generated during the analog-to-digital, and then digital-to-analog, conversions. The HDCD system is automatically activated, and the HDCD Indicator 12 lights, whenever an HDCD disc is played.

A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. It provides information on how to incorporate the RCC-955 into your system as well as information that will help you get optimum sound performance. 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.

NOTE: There are 2 screws that hold the disc drawer securely in place during shipment. The screws have red plastic handles that make them easy to identify and remove. Gently turn the RCC-955 on its side and turn the screws counterclockwise to remove them. If the screws are not removed the disc drawer will not open.

If you neglected to remove the screws before attempting to use the RCC-955, turn the unit off and unplug it from the wall outlet. Then remove the screws as described above.

Keep the screws in a safe place because they must be replaced

when the RCC-955 is moved. Before the

RCC-955 is moved, remove all the CDs from

the disc tray and close the disc drawer. Wait until the display shows “0 00 00:0” then turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Turn the unit on its side and reinstall the screws.

Save the RCC-955 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RCC-955 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier.

The RCC-955 is designed to play compact discs bearing the identification logo shown here. Other types of disc must not be used.

Before moving the RCC-955, remove all discs from the unit. This will prevent possible damage should the discs shift out of their normal positions inside the unit.

Keep the disc tray closed except when loading or unloading discs. This helps keep dust away from the sensitive laser pick up.

Fill out and send in the owner’s registration card packed with the RCC-955. 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 ever required.

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low-level signals, the RCC955 can be affected by its environment. To minimize the chance the RCC-955 will pick up hum or interference, do not place it on top of an amplifier or any other device that has a large power transformer. Keep the RCC-955 away from devices that have motors for the same reason. Do not place the RCC-955 where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Finally do not use the RCC-955 where the temperature will be above 95°F/35°C or below 41°F/5°C. If the RCC-955 is moved from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation can form on the optical components, which will prevent proper operation. Do not use the RCC-955 for at least 30 minutes after it is moved from a cold environment.

We recommend installing the RCC-955 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.

Cables

Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the regular audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.

Handling Compact Discs

Handle CDs carefully. Hold them by their edges, as shown here, and avoid touching the playing surface.

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface

(glossy surface) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a

straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

Never use chemicals, such as record cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. These chemicals will damage the disc’s plastic surface.

Keep discs in their storage cases when not in use to protect them from dust and scratches. Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures for extended periods of time.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input 16

Your RCC-955 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 re-configure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the RCC-955 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.

The RCC-955 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 RCC-955 is turned off (in the "out" position). Then plug the power cord into an 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 left side of the front panel. Push the switch button in to turn on the RCC-955. To turn the RCC-955 off, push the button again to 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.

When the Power Switch is turned on the disc in position 1 in the tray is selected. The Disc and Track Displays illuminate and show Disc 1/ Track 1. The Time Indicator also illuminates.

Output Connections

The RCC-955 gives you a choice of analog or digital output signals. The analog output signal from the built-in Digital to Analog converter is used with conventional analog audio components. The digital output, which provides an unprocessed digital data signal, is used with outboard D/A converters or digital processors.

English

Note: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure all the system components are turned off when you make any signal connections.

Analog Outputs 13

[See Figure 5 for wiring illustration]

A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies a conventional unbalanced analog output signal from the RCC-955 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. RCA connections are found on virtually all components. Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left channel output of the RCC-955 to the left channel source input on the preamplifier or other component. Connect the right output of the RCC-955 to the right channel source input on the preamplifier or other component.

Digital Output 15

[See Figure 6 for connection illustration]

If you are using the RCC-955 as a disc transport with an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCC-955, taken before the builtin D/A converter. This signal is supplied by the back-panel coaxial digital output jack. Using a standard 75 ohm coax cable, connect the digital output jack to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.

Remote Control

The RCC-955 is supplied with an RR-D92 remote control. When using the RR-D92 the emitter on the front of the control must be pointed at the RCC-955 front panel. The basic disc play functions are controlled by the button located near the front of the RR-D92. There is a cover over the lower portion of the RR-D92 that slides down to reveal buttons that control secondary functions, such as programming, disc scanning and direct disc selection.

The RR-D92 duplicates the basic disc play control functions of the front panel control buttons. When a disc play control is on both the front panel and the remote control, both control identifiers are shown in the related instruction text. For example, to play a disc you can press either 7 on the front panel or 19 on the remote control. There are some functions, such as programmed track play functions, that are operated exclusively by the RR-D92.

Remote Sensor 3

The Remote Sensor picks up the infrared signals from the remote control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be unobstructed or the remote control will not work properly. The operation of the Remote Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright light, particularly sunlight. Certain types of lighting, such as halogen lights, that emit a fair amount of infrared light, can also interfere with proper operation. In addition remote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-D92 are weak.

CD MULTI-DISC CHANGER RCC-955

External Remote Input 14

Disc Skip Buttons 11 and 22

This connector is designed to be used in conjunction with Xantech™ brand Video Link™ IR signal pick ups (sold separately by custom system installers). This feature enables you to operate the RCC-955 with the hand held remote control even when it is installed where is not visible from your listening location. Contact your authorized Rotel dealer for more information.

Video Link and Xantech are Trademarks of Xantech Corporation.

Remote Control Batteries

The supplied batteries must be installed before the remote control can be used. Slide the secondary control cover down until it stops. Then gently press the small triangular symbol on the cover and slide the cover down to expose the battery well. Install the batteries with the terminals as shown in the illustration in the battery well. Test the control for proper operation, then slide the cover back into place. When the batteries become weak the remote control won’t operate the RCC-955 consistently. Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.

Note: Remove the batteries from the remote control if it will not be used for a long period of time. Do not leave run down batteries in the remote control. Exhausted batteries can leak corrosive chemicals which will damage the unit.

The Disc Skip buttons have two functions. One is to turn the Disc Carousel when you are loading discs, as described in the previous section.

Note: Do not turn the carousel by hand; use the Disc Skip button. Do not touch the carousel while it is turning.

The other function of the Disc Skip button is to select a disc to be played. The next higher numbered disc is selected each time the Disc Skip button is pressed. If disc 5 is selected, pressing the Disc Skip button selects disc 1.

Pressing the Disc Skip button when a disc is not playing selects the next disc. If the Disc Skip button is pressed when a disc is playing, the RCC-955 stops playing the current disc, selects the next disc, and begins playing track 1 of that disc.

Selecting a Disc to Play

In addition to the Disc buttons described above, the remote control may also be used to select discs.

Loading Discs

Disc Tray 5 and Open/Close Buttons 6 and 17

Press the Open/Close button on either the front panel or the remote control to open the Disc Tray. Place discs in the numbered recesses in the Disc Carousel with the label sides up. Be sure the discs are centered in the recesses in the Disc Carousel. Both standard 12cm disc and 8 cm disc may be loaded. There is a separate recessed area in the carousel for 8cm discs. When the Disc Tray is open discs can be loaded into the three disc positions at the front of the tray. To load discs into the remaining positions press the Disc Skip button 11 to rotate the carousel. Press the Open/Close button again to close the Disc Tray when you are done loading discs.

Press the button to return to the beginning of the track that is playing. Press the again to go back to the previous programmed track. The track skip function will not go past the first or last programmed track unless the Repeat play function is turned on.

The Search Buttons also function when playing programmed tracks. Pressing the button searches forward. If you search to the end of the track the next programmed track is played. If you search to the end of the last programmed track play stops unless the Repeat function is turned on. Pressing the button searches backwards, but the search will not go beyond the beginning of the track that is playing.

The Repeat All Disc function works when programmed tracks are playing. The other Repeat functions cannot be selected. When the Repeat function is turned on the first programmed track begins playing after the last programmed track has been played. Similarly, the first programmed track begins playing if you press the when the last programmed track is playing or if you press the until you reach the end of the last programmed track.

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 experience problems with the RCC-955, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:

Display Is Not Lit

The Disc, Track and Time indicators in the display should be lit whenever the power switch of the RCC-955 is pushed in. If the display 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 RCC-955 display will not light when the power switch is pushed in, 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.

Disc Does Not Play

If a disc does not begin playing when the Play button is pressed, open the disc tray and be sure the disc is loaded with the label side up. If a disc is properly loaded inspect the playing side of the disc for contamination or damage. If the disc is dirty, clean it as described in the Handling Compact Discs section. If a disc is damaged it should be replaced.

No Sound

Check the input selector on the amplifier to be sure it is properly set. Check the tape monitor switches to be sure they are properly set. Check other signal sources to be sure the amplifier is operating properly. Finally check the audio cables between the RCC-955 and the amplifier to be sure they are properly connected.

English

Sound Skips

If the sound from the RCC-955 skips or jumps around, the disc may be defective or dirty. If the disc is clean, try another disc. If a problem persists it could be caused by vibrations reaching the RCC-955. Sound vibrations, especially from a subwoofer, can interfere with the laser reading a disc surface. Move the RCC-955 to a more stable surface, or to a location farther away from the speakers.

Hum

Hum is caused by electrical interference from other devices. It is most often picked up by the audio signal cables. Use high-quality cables. Low quality cables often have inadequate shielding. Check to be sure the cables are solidly connected to both the RCC-955 and the amplifier. Try moving the cables to a position farther away from other electrical components, especially power amplifiers which have large power transformers. Other devices that commonly cause interference are fluorescent lights and light dimmer controls.

Au sujet de Rotel

C’est une famille de passionnés de musique qui a fondé Rotel, il y a maintenant plus de trente ans. Pendant toutes ces années, leur passion ne s’est jamais émoussée et tous les membres de la famille se sont toujours battus pour fabriquer des appareils présentant un exceptionnel rapport musicalité-prix, suivis en cela par tous les employés.

Les ingénieurs travaillent toujours en équipe réduite, écoutant et peaufinant soigneusement chaque appareil pour qu’il corresponde parfaitement à leurs standards musicaux. Ils sont libres de choisir n’importe quels composants dans le monde entier, uniquement en fonction de leur qualité. C’est ainsi que vous trouvez dans les appareils Rotel des condensateurs britanniques ou allemands, des transistors japonais ou américains, tandis que tous les transformateurs toriques sont directement fabriqués dans une usine Rotel.

L’excellente réputation musicale des appareils Rotel a été saluée par la plupart des magazines spécialisés ; ils ont reçu d’innombrables récompenses, et sont choisis par de nombreux journalistes-critiques du monde entier, parmi les plus célèbres, ceux qui écoutent de la musique quotidiennement. Leurs commentaires restent immuables : Rotel propose toujours des maillons à la fois musicaux, fiables et abordables.

Mais plus que tout, Rotel vous remercie pour l’achat de cet appareil, et souhaite qu’il vous apporte de nombreuses heures de plaisir musical.

Démarrage

Nous vous remercions pour l’acquisition de ce changeur multidisques CD Rotel RCC-955. En tant que maillon d’un système haute-fidélité de très haute qualité, il vous apportera des années de plaisir musical.

Le RCC-955 est un changeur multidisques CD complet, de très hautes performances. Il représente le choix idéal pour ceux qui veulent bénéficier des avantages d’un lecteur-changeur de CD sans pour autant sacrifier la qualité sonore. Il intègre un filtre numérique à suréchantillonnage 8 fois, ainsi que le circuit spécifique HDCD (voir le paragraphe suivant)

La facilité d’utilisation a été un de nos soucis principaux : vous pouvez changer n’importe lequel des quatre disques en attente pendant la lecture du cinquième. Télécommande totale, programmation jusqu’à 32 morceaux différents, et balayage des débuts de chaque plage sont prévus.

Des composants de très haute qualité, comme des résistances à film métallique et des condensateurs au polypropylène ou polystyrène sont utilisés sur tout le trajet du signal. Tous ces aspects ont été soigneusement examinés dans un seul but : le respect de la musique.

Français

L’installation du RCC-955 est aussi simple que son utilisation. Si vous êtes déjà habitué à une autre installation hi-fi, vous ne rencontrerez aucun problème. Il suffit de brancher les maillons complémentaires et d’écouter !

Au sujet du HDCD® 12

Les disques de type HDCD sont codés avec un flux numérique haute densité. Durant la lecture, ce flux numérique haute densité est décodé pour redevenir un signal numérique conventionnel. Ce principe de gravure haute densité réduit énormément les risques d’erreurs généralement constatées pendant les étapes de conversion tant analogique/numérique que numérique/analogique. Le circuit HDCD est automatiquement activé. Le voyant HDCD (12) s’allume dès qu’un disque codé HDCD est détecté.

Quelques précautions

Veuillez lire très soigneusement ce manuel d’utilisation. Il vous indique tout ce qu’il faut savoir pour intégrer parfaitement ce changeur multidisques CD dans votre chaîne, et comment en tirer les performances optimales. Si vous vous posez ensuite encore des questions, veuillez contacter votre revendeur agréé Rotel, qui se fera un plaisir d’y répondre.

NOTE : Sous l’appareil se trouvent deux vis de blocage de la mécanique de lecture, pendant le transport. Ces deux vis sont munies d’oreilles en plastique rouge, qui leur permettent d’être identifiées et dévissées facilement. Posez doucement le RCC-955 sur le côté, et dévissez ces deux vis dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre. Tant que les deux vis ne sont pas ôtées, le tiroir ne peut pas s’ouvrir.

Si vous avez oublié d’enlever ces deux vis avant la mise en service, éteignez le RCC955, débranchez sa prise d’alimentation murale et procédez comme indiqué précédemment.

Conservez soigneusement les

deux vis en lieu sûr. Vous devrez les

remettre en place si vous désirez trans-

porter le RCC-955. Avant tout déplacement de l’appareil, ôtez tous les disques présents dans le tiroir, fermez celui-ci. Toujours attendre que l’afficheur indique « 0 00 00 :0 » avant d’éteindre l’appareil. Débranchez la prise secteur, reposez doucement le RCC-955 sur le côté, et revissez les deux vis.

CHANGEUR MULTIDISQUES CD RCC-955

Conservez le carton d’emballage et tous ses composants. Il constitue le meilleur moyen pour transporter l’appareil dans le futur, sans risque de détérioration.

Le RCC-955 est conçu pour lire les CD audio repérés par le logo ci-contre d’autres types de disques ne doivent pas être utilisés.

Avant de déplacer le RCC-955, toujours enlever tous les disques présents dans son tiroir, pour éviter toute détérioration possible de ces derniers.

Toujours laisser le tiroir fermé, sauf pendant les étapes de chargement et déchargement des disques. Cela évite l’introduction de poussière, pouvant ensuite nuire à la qualité de la lecture.

Conservez la facture d’achat et renvoyez le bon d’enregistrement fourni avec l’appareil. Vous avez ainsi la preuve de la date d’achat, qui vous sera utile dans le cas où il serait nécessaire de faire jouer la garantie.

Positionnement

Comme tous les appareils traitant des signaux de faible tension et intensité, le RCC-955 est relativement sensible à son environnement proche. Évitez de le poser sur l’amplificateur de puissance, ce qui pourrait générer une sensibilité aux interférences émises par ce dernier. Ne l’exposez pas aux rayons directs du soleil. Évitez de l’utiliser à une température supérieure à 35 °C, ou inférieure à 5 °C. Si l’appareil est rapidement déplacé d’un environnement très froid vers un environnement normalement chauffé, de la condensation peut se former sur sa lentille optique. Si cela se produit, attendez au moins une trentaine de minutes avant de commencer la lecture.

Nous vous recommandons d’installer le RCC-955 dans un meuble spécialement destiné aux appareils hi-fi. De tels meubles adaptés réduisent ou suppriment également les vibrations, ce qui améliore la qualité sonore de tous les maillons de la chaîne. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur ce type de meuble et sur l’installation correcte des divers éléments de la chaîne haute-fidélité, veuillezvous adresser à votre revendeur agréé Rotel.

Pendant l’installation, prenez un soin particulier aux trajets respectifs des câbles d’alimentation secteur, câbles de modulation analogique et câbles de signal numérique, afin d’éviter toute interférence entre eux. N’utilisez que des câbles de haute qualité, soigneusement blindés afin d’éviter toute dégradation du signal entre les maillons. Votre revendeur agréé Rotel est en mesure de vous apporter toute l’information nécessaire concernant le choix de câbles de liaison de qualité.

Manipulation des disques compacts

Manipulez les disques CD avec précaution. Tenez les uniquement par leur tranche, en évitant de toucher la surface gravée.

Les traces de doigts et la poussière peuvent être délicatement supprimées de la surface gravée (côté brillant) en utilisant un chiffon très doux. Procédez par mouvements successifs, toujours en

ligne droite, du centre vers le bord du disque.

N’utilisez jamais de produit chimique, y compris ceux prévus pour le nettoyage des disques vinyle, les produits antistatiques, tout aérosol, et encore moins les liquides à base de benzène, diluant, etc. Ces produits endommageront définitivement le Compact Disc.

Conservez les disques CD dans leur boîtier de protection, afin de les protéger de la poussière et des rayures. Ne jamais les exposer à la lumière directe du soleil, à une trop grande humidité ou à des températures trop élevées pendant de longues périodes.

Alimentation électrique et mise en service

Prise d’alimentation secteur 16

Le changeur multidisques CD RCC-955 est configuré en usine, sa tension correcte étant indiquée sur sa face arrière (115 ou

230 volts, 50 ou 60 Hz). Ne pas respecter cette tension entraîne la destruction de l’appareil et annule la garantie.

Note : si vous devez déménager dans un autre pays, il est possible de modifier la tension d’alimentation de votre appareil. Cette modification est exclusivement réalisée en usine : demandez conseil à un revendeur agréé Rotel. Il n’y a pas de pièces susceptibles d’être modifiées ou de commandes à l’intérieur du coffret. Ne pas enlever son capot : vous risqueriez l’électrocution. Cela peut également endommager les circuits internes, et annule la garantie.

Le RCC-955 doit être branché dans une prise murale deux broches. Nous vous déconseillons d’utiliser un câble rallonge.

Avant le branchement, vérifiez que le bouton de mise sous tension en face avant est bien en position « Out »

Si vous quittez votre domicile pendant une longue période (un mois ou plus), débranchez la prise d’alimentation secteur (de même que celles des autres maillons audio et vidéo).

Interrupteur de mise sous tension 1 et indicateur Power 2

L’interrupteur de mise sous tension se trouve à gauche de la face avant. Lorsque l’appareil est effectivement sous tension, la diode Power s’allume. Une seconde pression sur cet interrupteur éteint l’appareil.

Note : si vous utilisez une prise de renvoi secteur (en face arrière d’un autre appareil) pour alimenter le RCC-955, vous devez laisser le bouton de mise sous tension de ce dernier toujours sur « On ». la mise sous tension effective se fera alors par l’appareil qui alimente le RCC-955.

Lors de la mise sous tension, c’est le disque placé en position 1 dans le tiroir qui est automatiquement sélectionné. Les afficheurs Disc et Track (plage) s’allument, indiquant « Disc1/Track1 ». l’indicateur de temps « Time Indicator » s’illumine également.

Branchements en sortie

Le RCC-955 vous laisse le choix entre une sortie analogique stéréophonique traditionnelle, et une sortie numérique. La sortie analogique utilise un convertisseur numérique/analogique intégré dans le RCC-955, permettant le branchement direct sur n’importe quel préamplificateur ou amplificateur intégré. La sortie numérique délivre un signal numérique non traité, destiné à être utilisé avec un convertisseur numérique/analogique ou un processeur externe.

Note : pour éviter tout bruit parasite susceptible d’endommager les enceintes acoustiques, toujours éteindre le système avant d’effectuer des branchements sur celui-ci.

Sorties analogiques 13

[Voir la figure 5 pour la position des différentes prises]

Une paire de prises Cinch-RCA asymétriques traditionnelles fournit le signal stéréo pour les entrées correspondantes repérées « CD » d’un préamplificateur, amplificateur intégré ou ampli-tuner. Choisissez des câbles de liaison de la meilleure qualité possible. Respectez bien le branchement : canal gauche sur canal gauche (couleur noire ou blanche), et canal droit sur canal droit (couleur rouge).

Sortie numérique 15

[Voir la figure 6 pour la position des différentes prises]

Si vous désirez utiliser le RCC-955 uniquement comme une platine de transport et de lecture de l’information numérique gravée sur les CD, vous avez besoin d’une sortie numérique, n’utilisant pas le convertisseur numérique-analogique intégré dans l’appareil. Ce signal est donc fourni en face arrière de l’appareil. Il est au standard coaxial, nécessitant un câble de liaison 75 ohms pour la liaison avec l’entrée numérique d’un convertisseur externe.

Télécommande

Le RCC-955 est livré d’origine avec la télécommande RR-D92. la face avant de celle-ci doit être pointée vers la façade du RCC-955 pour la transmission correcte des informations de commande. Les fonctions de base de la lecture sont regroupées sur les touches placées en haut de la télécommande RR-D92. Un couvercle pivotant révèle les fonctions secondaires, accessibles dans la partie basse de la télécommande, telles que la programmation, l’accès direct à un disque, le balayage des morceaux, etc.

La RR-D92 reproduit toutes les fonctions également accessibles en face avant du changeur RCC-955. C’est d’ailleurs pourquoi, dans ce manuel, vous trouvez parfois deux chiffres se référant à la même commande, un pour la face avant, l’autre pour la télécommande. Par exemple, pour lire un disque, vous pouvez presser la touche 7 de la face avant ou la touche 19 sur la télécommande. Certaines fonctions ne sont toutefois accessibles qu’à partir de la télécommande RR-D92.

Capteur de télécommande 3

Le capteur de télécommande reçoit toutes les informations infrarouges envoyées par la télécommande. Il ne doit pas être obstrué, sous peine d’un mauvais fonctionnement de la télécommande. Le bon fonctionnement de la télécommande peut également être affecté par une lumière trop vive (rayons du soleil atteignant directement le capteur), ou certaines lampes artificielles (lampes halogènes). En cas de fonctionnement erratique, vérifiez également que les piles de la télécommande ne sont pas épuisées.

Prise pour télécommande externe 14

Cette prise est prévue pour être utilisée avec des systèmes de télécommande externes tels que les modèles Xantech™ de Video Link™, systèmes ajoutant d’autres possibilités de télécommande infrarouge, et permettant aussi d’utiliser des récepteurs externes utiles si le RCC-955 est encastré dans un meuble aveugle. (Systèmes disponibles en option).

Video Link et Xantech sont des marques déposées de Xantech Corporation.

Piles de la télécommande

Les piles fournies doivent être installées avant d’utiliser la télécommande. Faites glisser le couvercle de la seconde partie de la télécommande jusqu’à son point d’arrêt. Puis appuyez sur le symbole triangulaire gravé pour continuer le retrait de ce couvercle et faire apparaître le logement des piles. Disposez celles-ci comme indiqué dans le logement (respectez la polarité +/-) et refermer le couvercle. Lorsque les piles commencent à être usées, le fonctionnement de la télécommande devient erratique.

Note : enlevez les piles si vous n’utilisez pas la télécommande pendant une longue période de temps. Ne laissez pas des piles usées dans la télécommande : elles peuvent dégager des produits chimiques détruisant définitivement la télécommande.
