Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RCC-1055
CD Multi-Disc Changer. When used in a high-
quality music audio system, it will provide years
of musical enjoyment.
The RCC-1055 is a full featured, high per-
formance component. It is the ideal choice
for those who want the convenience of a CD
changer, but who will not accept compromised
sound quality. The RCC-1055 features high
precision 8-times oversampling digital filters.
In addition, it can play MP3 encoded discs
and incorporates HDCD circuitry.
Ease of operation has not been forgotten.
While one disc is playing you can change
any of the other four. Full remote control, 32
track programming, and track scanning are
provided.
The highest quality components, such as metal
film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene
capacitors are used in important signal paths.
All aspects of this design have been examined
with the final goal being faithful reproduction
of music.
The RCC-1055 is easy to install and use. If
you have experience with other stereo systems,
you shouldn’t find anything perplexing. Simply
connect it to the associated components and
enjoy.
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. It provides in-
formation on how to incorporate the RCC-1055
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 ship-
ment. The screws have red plastic handles
that make them easy to identify and remove.
Gently turn the RCC-1055 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-1055, 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-1055
is moved. Before the RCC-1055 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 rein-
stall the screws.
Save the RCC-1055 shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use. Ship-
ping or moving the RCC-1055 in anything other
than the original packing material may result
in severe damage to your amplifier.
The RCC-1055 is designed to play compact
discs bearing the iden-
tification logo shown
here. Other types of disc
must not be used.
Before moving the RCC-1055, remove all discs
from the unit. This will prevent possible dam-
age 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-1055. 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 RCC-1055 can be affected
by its environment. To minimize the chance
the RCC-1055 will pick up hum or interfer-
ence, do not place it on top of an amplifier
or any other device that has a large power
transformer. Keep the RCC-1055 away from
devices that have motors for the same reason.
Do not place the RCC-1055 where it will be
exposed to direct sunlight. Finally do not use
the RCC-1055 where the temperature will be
above 95°F/35°C or below 41°F/5°C. If the
RCC-1055 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-1055 for at
least 30 minutes after it is moved from a cold
environment.
We recommend installing the RCC-1055 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 degrad-
ing 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.
