User manual ROTEL RT-1080

[. . . ] Rotel products are designed to comply with international directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with these directives. This symbol means that this unit is double insulated. An earth or ground connection is not required. [. . . ] A pair of line level RCA audio outputs sends a fixed-level stereo signal from the RT-1080 to your preamplifier, surround processor, or integrated amplifier. Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect the left output jack to the left channel tuner input on your system controller and the right output jack to the right channel tuner input on your system controller. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall, if desired. experiment with positioning for best reception. NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connector instead of the indoor wire antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes. In the USA, you will need to use the supplied F-type converter to connect the 75 ohm coax cable to the antenna input. 5mm jack receives command codes from industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc. This feature could prove useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external repeaters and the wiring of a jack to fit the receptacle. The unit can be operated from a home automation controller or a computer running audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending the operating codes normally sent by the RR-T93 remote over a hard-wired network connection from the computer. The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary connection on the back panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling. Remove this antenna from the box and locate it near the RT-1080. Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from the loop antenna to the pair of screw terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each terminal. It does not matter which wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure that the connections are solid and that the two wires do not touch. You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient the antenna to find the best position. NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire instead of the loop antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes. Your RT-1080 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (120 volts/60Hz in the USA and 230 volts/50Hz in Europe). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit. Word LOADING will appear in the display and the unit will power up in the European configuration. A pair of buttons, labeled DOWN/UP on the front panel and < TUN/PRESET > on the remote, serve as the main tuning controls for the RT-1080. [. . . ] Stations broadcasting this programming may transmit an RDS data signal providing the tuner with a list of alternate frequencies where this programming is available. The button is only functional when the AF indicator is lit. If the signal strength of the new station is weaker, the tuner will revert to the previously tuned station. The RDS and RBDS features are entirely dependent on the broadcaster sending properly encoded signals. [. . . ]
