A family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufacture high fidelity components of uncompromising quality founded Rotel over 30 years ago. Through the years that passion has remained undiminished and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees. [. . . ] They are free to choose components from around the world in order to make that product the best they can. You are likely to find capacitors from the United Kingdom and Germany, semi conductors from Japan or the United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel's own factory. Rotel's reputation for excellence has been earned through hundreds of good reviews and awards from the most respected reviewers in the industry, who listen to music every day. Their comments keep the company true to its goal ­ the pursuit of equipment that is musical, reliable and affordable. All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product and hope it will bring you many hours of enjoyment. When used in a high-quality music audio system, it will provide years of musical enjoyment. With the increased use of digitally based audio media, many modern high performance audio components lack the circuitry needed to handle the signals produced by phono systems. The output signal from the RQ970 can be plugged into any line level input. the RC-995 uses the same sophisticated circuit designs and high quality components that have made Rotel a world-wide standard of performance. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better for the music. If you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn't find anything perplexing. The most convenient power source may be a switched power outlet on another component. Then you can leave the power switch of the RC-995 in the "on" position and it will be turned on and off with the other components. Your RC-995 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). The RC-995 can accept inputs from moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) phono cartridges. 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. If you still have questions about the proper setting of the phono input selector switch, consult your authorized Rotel dealer. Plug the cable from the turntable into the appropriate left and right phono inputs. ] Most power amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors that are compatible with the outputs of the RC-995. [. . . ] ] Most power amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors that are compatible with the outputs of the RC-995. Connect a set of cables between the outputs of the RC-995 and one of the line level inputs of the amplifier. As always, use high quality cables and be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-995 to the correct channels of the amplifier. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. [. . . ]
