User manual ROTEL RD-965BX

[. . . ] Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. You must allow a minimum 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around the unit. [. . . ] 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. Do not plug any system component into an AC source until system hookup is complete and you are sure that all connections have been properly made. 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. This feature could be useful to switch between an indoor antenna and an outdoor antenna system or between a standard FM antenna and a cable or satellite TV decoder that provides an FM antenna signal. The POWER button is located on the front panel of the RD-965BX and is not duplicated on the remote control. Push the button again (returning it to the out position), to turn the unit off. Toggle the front panel display on and off by pressing and holding the DISPLAY button for 3 seconds. [. . . ] There are a large number of RDS stations and most users will be familiar with the features and operation. If you know the frequency of the desired station, you may tune it directly using the FREQ DIRECT button (remote only) and the NUMERIC buttons. The display will change to a series of bars, representing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar blinking. Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC buttons.
