This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment gene rates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure.

Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various system configurations as well as general information that will help you get the most 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 RDV-995 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RDV-995 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage.

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

Place the RDV-995 on a surface that is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold (between 5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F). Do not place the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid locations that are dusty. Do not place the unit too close to the television set. Do not place the RDV-995 where it will be exposed to vibrations, such as near a subwoofer. To ensure proper ventilation observe the minimum clearance specifications listed in the safety information on page 2.

Audio/Video Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 5.1 CHANNEL OPERATION:

Before using the RDV-995 in a 5.1 channel system see the instructions on page 8 regarding the correct setting of the Digital Audio Output preferences.

NOTE: Do not plug in the power cable until all audio/video signal connections are complete. Do not change any audio/video cable connections until the RDV-995 has been unplugged from the power outlet.

Carefully read the instructions supplied with the component you are going to connect to the RDV-995 to be sure they are compatible. If you have questions, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

NTSC/PAL Switch

Set the NTSC/PAL switch to the proper setting for your TV. Television systems in North America use the NTSC standard. Set the NTSC/PAL switch before the RDV-995 is turned on. It cannot be changed when the unit is on.

NOTE: Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT to a TV via a VCR may result in unacceptable video quality because many discs are copy-protected.␣

If your TV has a single monaural audio input instead of a pair of stereo inputs, you need to use a “Y” cable adapter to connect the two output channels of the RDV-995 to the single input.

You can improve the sound quality of the system by connecting the audio outputs to a separate hi-fi audio system. (See the following section.)

Connecting to Audio Equipment with a Digital Input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT RDV-995 to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUTPUT.

With the digital connection, the Preference menu settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are disabled. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

Connecting the Power Cord

AC Input

Your RDV-995 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50Hz AC). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.

After all the audio/video connections have been made, plug the supplied power cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. Then insert the power plug into an AC wall outlet. The STANDBY indicator lights and setup is complete. Note that a small amount of power (3 watts) is always used while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

Observe the following precautions:

• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord

with wet hands.

• Disconnect the power cord if you are not

going to use the unit for a long time.

• When unplugging the player from the wall

outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Disconnect the power cord before clean-

ing the unit.

• Disconnect the power cord before moving

the unit.

• Do not damage, alter, twist, or pull the power

cord, as this may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents. Contact a dealer and get a new power cord if the cord is damaged.

• Do not put anything heavy, on the unit, or

the power cord, as this may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

DVD Disc Structure

A DVD disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters.
