User manual ROTEL RT-860L

[. . . ] If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. (TV, radio, etc. ) · Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver · Connect the equipment to an outlet on circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for additional help. Caution This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules operation is subject to the following to conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Important Safety Instructions WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. 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. [. . . ] In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal. Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception. NOTE: 21 English PTY Button The PTY search function permits you to scan available broadcasts for RDS stations broadcasting a particular type of program content. If desired, change to a different PROGRAM TYPE using the TUNING UP/DOWN buttons to scroll through the list. The tuner will attempt to find an RDS station broadcasting the selected type of program. If the button is not pressed within 5 seconds after selecting a program type, the PTY function will be cancelled. If no station is located for the desired content type, the tuner will return to the last previously tuned station. Cancel the PTY function by pressing any other button. NOTE: If the currently tuned station is broadcasting PTY data, a PTY indicator lights in the front-panel display. Connections: Overview The RT-860L connections include standard RCA audio inputs and outputs, composite video inputs and outputs, S-Video inputs and outputs, Component Video inputs, plus coaxial and optical digital inputs and outputs. Video Connections The RT-860L provides S-Video and Component Video connections for those who wish to use them. However, standard Composite video cables provide excellent picture quality in most systems and their use for all input and output connections will greatly simplify installation and configuration of the unit. If you choose to use S-Video or Component Video connections, be aware of the following implications for the configuration of your system: On Screen Menu Display: The RT-860L ON-SCREEN MENU system is available for all inputs when using a Composite or S-Video cable from the TV MONITOR outputs to the TV set. The ON-SCREEN MENU is not available when using Component video cables. However, both Composite and S-Video cables may be connected from the RT-860L TV MONITOR outputs to both Composite and S-Video inputs on a TV or projector. This dual connection from the RT-860L will provide limited S-Video capability in a system that is predominantly connected with Composite video cables, however Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT MENU of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. We recommend going to this menu after connecting each source to configure it as desired. See the INPUT MENU section for information. NOTE: RT-860L Surround Sound Receiver 22 it requires switching the input on the TV monitor when changing from an S-Video to an RCA Composite connected source. When both Composite and S-Video cables are connected from the same source, both Composite and S-Video signals are available at the RT-860L's TV MONITOR outputs, allowing the selection of the desired signal with the TV input selector. This dual connection can be used to provide video taping in a system that is predominantly connected with S-Video cables, but also includes a VCR with Composite video. Component Video: Component Video connections can significantly improve the picture quality when using a digital "high-definition" television monitor and a DVD player's progressive scanning feature. Their use will almost certainly require running multiple outputs to the TV and switching between the TV's various inputs when changing sources. Video Source Inputs See Figure 4 There are input connections for five video source components. Each of the five provides a pair of RCA inputs for analog audio signals. Each of the five also provides a choice of an RCA composite video input or S-Video input for the video signal from the source component. In addition, two of the video source inputs (Video 1 and Video 2) also feature Component Video input connections as an alternative to the composite video or S-Video connections. VIDEO 1­5 Audio Inputs Using standard audio interconnect cables, connect the left and right channel analog audio outputs of VCRs or other source components to the VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs using standard RCA audio cables. VIDEO 1­5 Composite Video Inputs If you use the RCA composite video connections for a source component, connect the RCA video output of the source component to one of the video inputs labeled COMPOSITE IN.
