User manual ROTEL RA-01

[. . . ] Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time. [. . . ] we recommend installing the RA-01 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components. Your RA-01 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 volts AC or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). These are for connecting components such as CD players, Hi Fi or NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners, Laser Disc players or the analog output from a CD ROM drive. The Left and Right channels are labeled and should be connected to the corresponding channels of the source component. use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the RA-01. NOTE: Should you move your RA-01 amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information. If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a monthlong vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. ] The Tape inputs and outputs can be connected to any record/playback device that accepts standard line level analog input and output signals. When connecting a recorder to the RA-01 remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RA-01. similarly the tape outputs of the RA-01 must be connected to the inputs of the recorder. As with other sources be sure to connect the Left and Right channels of each device to the proper channels on the associated components. See the "12V Trigger Outlet" section for more information on ways you may be able to turn on and off other components in your system along with the RA-01. 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. However, whenever possible, it should be plugged 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) can handle the current demanded by the RA-01 and all the other components connected to it. NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the system is turned off when you make any signal connections. [. . . ] Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch that has been turned off. Make sure the cables from the signal source to the RA-01 inputs are connected properly. 03% at rated power, 1/2 power or 1 watt Intermodulation Distortion (60 Hz : 7 kHz, 4:1) < 0. 03% at rated power, 1/2 power or 1 watt Frequency Response Phono Input Line Level Inputs Damping Factor (20-20, 000 Hz, 8 ohms) Input Sensitivity / Impedance Phono Input Line Level Inputs Input Overload Phono Input Line Level Inputs Premp Output / Impedance Tone Controls - Bass / Treble Signal to Noise Ratio (IHF "A" weighted) Phono Input Line Level Inputs Power Requirements USA Version European Version Power Consumption Dimensions (W x H x D) Panel Height Weight (net) 20Hz-15kHz, ±0.
