User manual ROTEL RT-1080

[. . . ] Rotel products are designed to comply with international directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with these directives. 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. [. . . ] 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. A pair of line level RCA audio outputs sends a fixed-level stereo signal from the RT-1080 to your preamplifier, surround processor, or integrated amplifier. Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect the left output jack to the left channel tuner input on your system controller and the right output jack to the right channel tuner input on your system controller. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall, if desired. NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connector instead of the indoor wire antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes. In the USA, you will need to use the supplied F-type converter to connect the 75 ohm coax cable to the antenna input. 5mm jack receives command codes from industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc. This feature could prove 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 repeaters and the wiring of a jack to fit the receptacle. The unit can be operated from a home automation controller or a computer running audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending the operating codes normally sent by the RR-T93 remote over a hard-wired network connection from the computer. The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary connection on the back panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling. Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from the loop antenna to the pair of screw terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each terminal. It does not matter which wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure that the connections are solid and that the two wires do not touch. You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient the antenna to find the best position. NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire instead of the loop antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes. Your RT-1080 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (120 volts/60Hz in the USA and 230 volts/50Hz in Europe). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit. Word LOADING will appear in the display and the unit will power up in the European configuration. A pair of buttons, labeled DOWN/UP on the front panel and < TUN/PRESET > on the remote, serve as the main tuning controls for the RT-1080. You can use either the front panel or remote buttons; their function is identical. [. . . ] The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the DOWN/UP buttons advance to the next station frequency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the DOWN/UP buttons advance to the next station preset). Stations are broadcasting RBDS signals and the features may be less familiar to many users. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for information on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in your area. If desired, change to a different PROGRAM TYPE using the DOWN/UP buttons to scroll through the list. [. . . ]
