Your RDV-1040 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 con-
figuration 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 cleaning
the unit.
• Disconnect the power cord before moving
the unit.
• Do not damage, alter, twist or pull the power
cord. This may damage the cord and cause
fire, electric shock, or other accidents. Con-
tact your authorized Rotel 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, elec-
tric shock, or other accidents.
