FEATURES OF THE RCD 970BX CD PLAYER
This CD player uses a Bitstream Continuous Calibration Digital to Analog Converter and an
16x Oversampling 20 Bit Digital Filter. This D/A conversion system has very low noise levels
compared to conventional bitstream designs and is free from spurious signals. It also has
excellent low level linearity. We believe this helps to make RCD 970BX a superb sounding CD
player.
We have manufactured the RCD 970BX with the Philips CDM-9 loader and a single-beam laser
system. These are high performance designs and help us achieve our goal to make RCD
970BX an excellent sounding CD player. Rotel engineers have designed this CD player with
simple features. We have eschewed needless complication and features that are not used
regularly. Rotel likes simple designs for their inherent ease of use. We believe the RCD 970BX
will be a source of pleasure for years to come in your stereo system.
INSTALLATION OF THE RCD 970BX
Please place the unit on a DRY, level surface away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing objects
on top of the RCD 970BX. Do not allow water to fall onto or into the RCD 970BX as this could
damage the circuitry. Avoid installing the CD player in a location where excessive heat,
humidity, vibration or moisture will be a problem.
We recommend installing the RCD 970BX in furniture designed to house audio components.
This will allow the CD player to be on its own shelf with nothing stacked on top of it. This will
minimize potential interference with other components in your system, such as your tuner.
Component furniture will also reduce or suppress vibration and all audio components will
provide improved sound when free from vibration. Ask your ROTEL/?/ fi Authorized Dealer tor
advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.
