Digital Output =

See Figure 3
If you are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor,
you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the RCD-12, taken
before the built-in D/A converter. This signal is supplied by The RCD-12's
back panel digital output jack. Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable,
connect the RCD-12's coax digital output to the coax digital input connector
on the outboard D/A converter.
NOTE: When playing CD-DA, MP3 and WMA discs, the Digital Output
provides a PCM data stream.

OPERATION

The RCD-12 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 3

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
panel of the RCD-12.

Display 5

A lighted Display on the front panel of the RCD-12 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 Loader Slot 4

A motor-driven slot loader, located in the center of the RCD-12, accept a
compact disc. Place the compact disc into the slot, label-side up. Make sure
the disc is properly centered before loading. The disc can be ejected by
pressing the eject button as explained below.

Transport Control Buttons

These buttons provide basic control functions for the disc transport mechanism.
Except where noted, all functions are available on the RCD-12 front panel
and the IR remote control.

EJECT Button

When a disc is inserted into the front panel Disc Slot it is pulled into the
disc transport. To eject the disc press the EJECT button on the front panel or
the remote control. If you accidentally press either of these buttons, press
the button again to re-load the disc.
When the eject button is pressed, the Display will read "EJECT". Once the
disc is completely ejected, 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 minutes and seconds.

PLAY Button

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

STOP Button

Press the STOP button once to stop disc play. Press the PLAY button to resume
disc play where it was stopped. If the STOP button is pressed twice, disc
play stops, the display shows STOP and programmed selections are deleted
(see below). When the PLAY button is pressed after pressing the STOP button
located on the front twice, the disc begins playing from the first track.

PAUSE Button

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.

TRACK Buttons

These buttons are used to select tracks on the disc. When a disc is playing,
pressing the right TRACK button advances to the beginning of the next track.
Pressing the left TRACK button 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
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

Remote Only
These eleven numeric buttons (labelled 1 through 0 and >10) are used to
directly access a track from the IR remote control instead of stepping through
the tracks using the TRACK buttons.
The first ten tracks on a disc can be selected by pressing the corresponding
button. For example, to play the third track, press the 3 button on the
remote control.
