Speaker Selector Switch
5
When the Speaker Selector switch is set to A, speakers con-
nected to the Speaker A terminals
21 will play. When the switch
is set to B, speakers connected to the Speaker B terminals 22
will play. When the switch is set to A+B, speakers connected to
both sets of terminals will play. The switch may be set to “Off”
when using headphones. See the information in the Speaker Se-
lection section for important information on speaker impedance.
Listening Selector 14
The setting of the Listening Selector controls which of the input
sources is heard. The source selected is also the one that is
routed through the Preamp/Power Amp Jumper.
Recording Selector 12
The setting of the Recording Selector controls which of the input
signals goes to the record outputs. When you are not recording,
set the Recording Selector to the “Off” position to minimize the
chance of interference from other components in the system.
Having a separate Recording and Listening selector adds a sig-
nificant degree of flexibility in how you can use the RA-985BX. For
example by setting the Record Selector to CD and the Listening
Selector to Tuner you could record a CD onto a tape while listen-
ing to the tuner.
If you wish to duplicate (“dub”) a recording from one recorder to
another, the source unit should be connected to Tape 1 input. The
Recording Selector should be set to Tape 1. The unit recording the
signal should be connected to Tape 2 output.
Note: When the Second Zone output feature of the RA-985BX is
used the Recording Selector becomes the source selector for
second zone. You cannot record while the Second Zone feature is
being used.
Phones Output 6
The Phones output allows you to connect headphones for private
listening. This output accommodates standard stereo phone (1/4”)
plugs. If your headphones have another type of plug, such as a
1/8” mini-plug, you will need an adapter plug. Contact your autho-
rized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter plug. The speakers
will continue to play if they have been turned on by the Speaker
Selector. Set the Speaker Selector to “Off” if necessary.
Remote Sensor
4
The Remote Sensor picks up the infra-red signals from the remote
control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be unobstructed
or the remote control will not work properly. The operation of the
Remote Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright light,
particularly sunlight. In addition remote control functions may not
work reliably if the batteries in the RR-927 are weak.
