About Rotel
Our story began over 60 years ago. Over the decades, we have received
hundreds of awards for our products and satised hundreds of thousands
of people who take their entertainment seriously – like you!
Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led
them to manufacture high-delity components of uncompromising
quality. Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished
and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and
music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.
Rotel’s engineers work as a close team, listening to, and ne tuning, each
new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are
free to choose components from around the world in order to make
that product the best they can. You are likely to nd capacitors from
the United Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the
United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in
Rotel’s own factory.
We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more
electronics are produced it is especially important for a manufacturer
to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum impact on
the environment.
At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content
in our products by using special lead-free ROHS solder and components.
Our engineers continually strive to improve power supply efciency
without compromise to quality. When in standby mode Rotel products use
minimal power to meet global Standby Power Consumption requirements.
The Rotel factory is also doing their part to help the environment through
constant improvements to product assembly methods for a cleaner and
greener manufacturing processes.
All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will
bring you many years of enjoyment.
About the CD11MKII
Simply stated, the unit is designed to do one thing—deliver the most
detailed, nuanced sound from every disc. The unit will faithfully reproduce
all that is recorded on the disc. While the unit was under development, the
design team went far beyond the usual measurable technical performance
characteristics. Listening panels spent hundreds of hours ne tuning
the audio performance, choosing the components that produced the
best sound, that would “release the emotion in the music”. Whatever
the artist and recording engineers put on the disc, the unit will deliver.
That said, the unit does feature some impressive hardware. Digital-to-
analogue conversion utilizes a Texas Instruments 24bit 192kHz high
performance stereo DAC specically designed for audio applications. All
this, combined with Rotel’s Balanced Design, ensures the unit will deliver
the highest level of audio performance. When used in a high-quality audio
system, your Rotel CD player will provide years of enjoyment.

Getting Started
A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting
the loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the
system components back on until you are sure all the connections
are correct and secure.
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various unit system
configurations as well as general information that will help you get
optimum performance from your system. 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.
Save the shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing
material may result in severe damage to your unit.
If included in the box please complete the owner’s registration card or
register on line. 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 required.
Placement
Use common sense when placing the unit in a cabinet or when stacking
other equipment. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its
weight. Do not stack heavy components on top of the unit. Avoid placing
the unit where it may be subject to excessive heat such as on top of a
large power amplier or near a heat register. For best performance, avoid
placing the unit where it may be subject to vibration, such as near a speaker.
Control Identication
This manual shows illustrations of the front and rear panels and the
RR-D99 remote control. Each item in the illustrations is identied with
a call out. Through out this manual the items referred to in the text are
identied by the corresponding call out. The items on the front and rear
panels are identied with a number call out, such as 1. The items on the
remote control are labeled with a letter call out, such as A.
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input w
Your unit is congured at the factory for the proper AC voltage in the
country where you purchased it (either 120 volts or 230 volts). The AC line
conguration is noted on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your CD player to another country, it may
be possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage.
Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the
enclosure of the unit exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult
a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department
for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please use
only the cord appropriate for your country/region.
CD11MKII should be plugged directly into a polarized wall outlet using the
supplied cable or other high current compatible cable as recommended
by your authorized Rotel dealer. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the unit is turned off (in the
“out” position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the AC power
receptacle on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such
as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your CD
player (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch 1A and POWER Indicator 2
Press the front panel Power Switch button 1to turn the unit on. The
Power Indicator light 2is illuminated when the unit is on. Press Power
Switch button again to turn the unit off.
When the Power switch is in the ON position, the remote control ON and

mode. In Standby mode the LED indicator above the power switch is red,
but the display is turned off.
NOTE: If you are using a switched outlet to turn on and off your CD
player, you should leave the power switch in the “ON” position. When
AC power is applied to the unit, it will power up in fully active mode.
12V Trigger Connection q
The unit can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal. The trigger input
accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts.
When a cable is connected to the 12V input and a trigger signal is present,
the CD Player is activated. When the trigger signal is turned off, the unit
goes into standby mode. The front panel power indicator will be red, but
the display goes dark and the unit will not operate.
NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger feature, leave the POWER button
in the ON position.
Output Connections
The CD11MKII unit gives you a choice of two different kinds of output
connections — an analog output signal from the built-in D/A converter
for use with conventional analog audio components and a coax digital
output which provides an unprocessed digital data signal for use with
outboard D/A converters or digital processors.
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that could damage your speakers,
turn off all the system components when you make any signal
connections.
Analog Outputs 0
See Figure 3
A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an analog output signal from the
CD11MKII unit to the source inputs of an audio preamplier, integrated
amplier, or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left and
right channel outputs of the unit to the corresponding inputs on the
preamplier or other component.

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 CD11MKII. Using a
standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the CD11MKII’s coax digital
output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.
Operation
The unit can be operated using its front panel buttons or from corresponding
buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Specic 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

Additional Features
These convenience features add extra functionality to the CD11MKII,
including the ability to memorize a group of tracks to be played, to
repeat a disc, program, or track over and over, to play the tracks on a
disc in random order, and to select from several available time displays.
PROGRAM Button G
Remote Only
This button, labeled PROG, allows you to memorize as many as 20 tracks
on the current disc for playback in a specic order. For example, you could
instruct the CD11MKII to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8.
To begin a program:
1. Insert a disc into the tray loader. The CD11MKII will read the contents
of the disc.
2. Press the PROG button on the remote control. The PROGRAM indicator
will light up in the display, along with “PROG-01” indicating that the
unit is waiting for the rst track to be memorized.
3. Enter the rst track number using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your
selection will be memorized automatically. Press PROG button again

seconds. If you press the PLAY button u, the memorized program will
play instead of the entire disc, starting with the rst selection in the
memorized list.
When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most functions that would
normally affect the entire disc operate on just the memorized program. For
example, the TRACK buttons advance to the next track in the memorized
program, not the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT button (see
below) continuously plays the memorized program, not the entire disc.
NOTE:The Random button does not function when playing a
program. To activate the Random button the unit must exit Program
playback.
NOTE: Direct track access is not available when in the PROGRAM
mode.
RANDOM Button G
Remote Only
This instructs the CD player to play tracks from the entire disc in random

playing, unless the REPEAT Button (see below) has been engaged, in which
case the random play will continue until the STOP button is pressed.
REPEAT Button G
Remote Only
This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc
continuously until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT
button or pressing the STOP button . The REPEAT button steps
sequentially through the available options. Press the button once and
the CD11MKII will repeat just the current track. Press the button a second

Troubleshooting
Most difculties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections,
or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area
of the difculty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the
fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound
from the unit, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated
The Power Indicator and the basic items in the display window should
be illuminated whenever the unit 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 unit 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 unit and the amplier inputs to be sure
they are connected properly. Be sure the correct amplier input is selected.
Be sure the tape monitor system of the amplier has not been activated.
Check the wiring between the amplier and the speakers.

CD PLAYER
CD11 Tribute
Texas Instruments Digital
to Analogue Converter
Rotel has been designing and manufacturing CD players since
the RCD-855 was launched in 1989 and has never looked back
since.
Thus, the opportunity of engaging with audio legend Ken
Ishiwata to create an even higher performance model of the
successful CD11 was eagerly accepted by the Rotel design
teams. With over 40 years of audio engineering experience Ken’s
collaboration with Rotel created something truly special – the
CD11 Tribute edition.
The CD11 Tribute includes critical changes to the power supply,
DAC circuits and precise selection of components in the audio
signal path delivering an increased sense of space, improved
accuracy, detail, and genuineness of the audio.
Supporting RCA analog and coaxial digital outputs, front panel
display and a remote control, the CD11 Tribute continues the
proud tradition of Rotel and is reflective of the legacy of Ken
and his tireless eorts delivering audio products preforming well
beyond their price point.
