User manual ROTEL RD-965BX

[. . . ] 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, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. Do not expose the unit to dripping or splashing. [. . . ] Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem. Keep power cords, digital cables, and audio cables away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system. Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be used for a long period of time. Do not leave run down batteries in the remote control; they can leak corrosive chemicals which will damage the unit. The RD-965BX provides rear panel connections for audio line level output, two FM antennas, an AM antenna, computer interface, a remote IR connection, 12V trigger connections for remote turn-on and AC power input. NOTE: The following instructions assume the use of a standard FM wire antenna supplied with the unit. The front panel indicator light remains lit, 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. Plug the supplied cord into the AC input receptacle on the back of the unit. Once all other rear panel connections are completed, plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet or switched AC outlet on another component. The following explanations will help you get familiar with the features and controls. When a function is available on both the front panel and the remote, a number (see front panel illustration) and a letter (see remote control illustration) are shown in the instructions. For example, to change from the AM to FM band, you can either press the front panel button or use the button on the remote. When only one identifier appears, that control is available only on the front panel or the remote, but not both. The RD-965BX can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel preamplifier. These two connections provide an input to receive the 12 volt trigger signal from the preamp and an output to pass through the trigger signal to another component such as a Rotel power amplifier. The trigger input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. When a cable is connected to the input and a trigger signal is present, the tuner is activated. This permits you to switch between two different FM antenna systems using a front panel or remote control switch. [. . . ] Press the PTY button a second time within 5 seconds. the tuner will attempt to find an RDS station broadcasting the selected type of program. If the button is not pressed within 5 seconds after selecting a program type, the PTY function will be cancelled. In some cases, an RDS station is part of a network of stations broadcasting the same programming (for example, BBC1 programming in the UK may be available at several different frequencies). [. . . ]
