User manual ROTEL RA-05 SE

[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. [. . . ] 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. The RA-05 SE does not draw high levels of current from the power outlet. However, whenever possible, it should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. A heavy duty multitap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet) can handle the current demanded by the RA-05 SE and all the other components connected to it. Your RA-05 SE 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). NOTE: Should you move your RA-05 SE amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Opening the enclosure of the RA-05 SE exposes you to dangerous voltages. 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 month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away. use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the RA-05 SE. ] 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-05 SE remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RA-05 SE. similarly the tape outputs of the RA-05 SE 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. nOTE: The Tape Outputs are not affected by the Volume , Balance or Tone controls. Standard speaker wire will work, but can result in lower output or diminished bass response, particularly over longer distances. For best performance, you may want to consider special high-quality speaker cables. Your authorized Rotel dealer can help in the selection of cables for your system. The polarity ­ the positive/negative orientation of the connections ­ for every speaker and amplifier connection must be consistent so all the speakers will be in phase. [. . . ] Press the button again to return the sound volume to the original level. 5mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN) receives command codes from an industry-standard infrared receiver (Xantech, etc. This feature is 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 receivers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle. [. . . ]
