Save the RC-870BX shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RC-870BX in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier. Fill out and send in the owner's registration card packed with the RC-870BX. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required. 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 This compact unit allows you to operate many of the controls of the RC-870BX from your listening location. When using the RR-C91 the emitter on the front of the control must be pointed at the RC-870BX front panel. When connecting a recorder to the RC-870BX remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-870BX. similarly the tape outputs of the RC-870BX 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. Your RC-870BX 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). 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. the CD , Tuner , and Aux inputs of the RC-870BX are "line level" inputs. These are for connecting components such as CD players, Hi Fi or NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners for audio or video, Laser Disc players or the analog output from a CD ROM drive. The Left and Right channels are clearly 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 RC-870BX. Note: Should you move your RC-870BX amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. Opening the enclosure of the RC-870BX exposes you to dangerous voltages. [. . . ] Set the Function Selector switch to the component you want to use for the signal source. If you have a three-head cassette recorder, a three-head reel-to-reel tape recorder or a DAT recorder that allows simultaneous "read and write" operation you can monitor your recordto ing by setting the Tape Monitor switch the "Tape" position. When not monitoring a recording, or listening to a previously recorded to the tape, set the Tape Monitor switch "Source" position. When the Tape Monitor switch is in the Source position you hear the sound source that is selected by the Function Selector. [. . . ]
