The RCD-12 can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel 
preamplifier.The trigger input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) 
ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. When a cable is connected to the input 
and a trigger signal is present, the CD Player is activated. 

When the trigger signal is interrupted, the unit goes into standby mode. 
The front panel indicator light remains lit , but the display goes dark and

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 are unable to get sound from the 
RCD-12, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions: 

Power Indicator Is Not Lit

The Power Indicator and the basic items in the Display window should 
be lit whenever  the RCD-12 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 RCD-
12 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 Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced. 

NO SOUND

Check the cables between the RCD-12 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 amplifer and the speakers.
