[. . . ] Owners Manual Stereo Control Amplifier RC-1082 RC-1082 Stereo Control Amplifier 2 Important Safety Information WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, be sure that the apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. [. . . ] It must be clear of obstructions or the remote control will not work properly. The operation of the Remote Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright light, particularly sun light. In addition remote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-AT97 are weak. 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 amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. STANDBY Switch 1 Remote OFF/ON Switch STANDBY Indicator 2 A Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the regular audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system Cables AC Power and Control AC Power Input [ NOTE: The RC-1082 will be turned on and in the normal operating mode as soon as it is connected to the AC outlet. Be sure to set the Volume control to the minimum (full counterclockwise) position before connecting the power cord. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Input receptacle on the rear panel. Do not connect the power cord to the power outlet until all the audio input and output connections have been made. It is usually best to plug the RC-1082 directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. A heavy duty multi-tap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet) is rated to handle the current demanded by the components connected to it. Your RC-1082 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the rear panel. NOTE: Should you move your RC-1082 amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. The Left and Right channels are clearly labeled and should be connected to the corresponding channels of the source component. The Left RCA connectors are white, the Right connectors are red. Use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the RC-1082. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about cables. 7 English Phono Input Selector Switch q The Phono input is for a moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) phono cartridge only and is incompatible with line level components. Set the Phono Input Selector Switch as appropriate for the phono cartridge you are using. Leave the switch button in the out position for a moving magnet cartridge; push the switch in for a moving coil cartridge. Some high output moving coil cartridges are designed to operate in the moving magnet position. If you are in doubt about the correct setting, check the instruction manual for your phono cartridge for information regarding its output voltage and the expected input impedance. [. . . ] Turn the Controls counterclockwise to decrease the bass or treble output. A properly set up high-performance audio system produces the most natural sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up (clockwise). This increases the power output in the bass or treble range, increasing the load on the amplifier sand speakers. Bass and Treble Controls 45 CD Functions Audio Controls Volume Controls 8 and The front panel Volume control 8 increases or decreases the volume in both channels at the same time. [. . . ]
