Unpacking
Remove the unit from its packing. Look for
the handheld remote control and other ac-
cessories. Install the supplied batteries in the
remote control. Save the packing and box as
it will protect the RT- 06 if you move or need
to return it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the RT-06 on a solid, dry, level sur-
face away from direct sunlight, excessive
heat, high humidity or strong vibrations. The
RT-06 can generate some heat during normal
operation. If installed in a cabinet, make
sure there is adequate ventilation. Make
sure there is enough room behind the RT-06
for easy hookup. Place the unit close to the
other components in your audio/video sys-
tem and, if possible, place it on its own shelf.
This will make initial cable routing, hookup
and any subsequent system changes easier. It
also minimizes potential interference or heat
buildup from other components.
Don’t stack heavy objects on top of the
RT-06. Do not expose the unit to moisture;
this could damage the circuitry and cause
a safety hazard.
Rear Panel Connections
The RT-06 provides rear panel connections for
audio line level output, an FM antenna, and
AM antenna, a DAB antenna, a 12V Trigger,
a remote IR sensor, DAB digital outputs and
AC power input.
NOTE
: Do not plug any system component
into an AC source until system hookup is
complete and you are confident that all com-
ponent-to-component connections have been
properly made.
FM Antenna
The RT-06 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor
FM antenna. Remove this antenna from the box
and connect its attached coax F-type plug to
the FM antenna connector on the RT-06. For
best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna.
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking
