ROTEL RT-06 - Manual (Page 8)

8 RDV-1092 8 RT-06 DAB/AM/FM Stereo Tuner
the antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment
with positioning for best reception.
NOTE
: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its
75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connec-
tor in place of the indoor wire antenna, only
after a professional contractor has installed
the antenna system in accordance with lo-
cal electrical codes. In the USA, you will
need to use the supplied F-type converter to
connect the 75 ohm coax cable to the an-
tenna input.
AM Loop Antenna
The RT-06 includes a loop antenna to receive
AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from
the box and locate it near the RT-06.
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 to the G and
AM terminals in place of the loop antenna,
only after a professional contractor has in-
stalled the antenna system in accordance
with local electrical codes.
DAB Antenna
Included is a DAB indoor antenna. If you
cannot obtain good reception using this sup-
plied antenna, it is recommended to use an
outdoor DAB antenna. The outdoor antenna
can be connected with a F-type connector
(male) then to the “Antenna DAB” connec-
tion on the rear panel.
RCA Outputs
Line level RCA audio outputs send a fixed-
level stereo signal from the RT-06 to your
pre-amplifier, system controller 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.
DAB Digital Outputs
One coaxial and one S/PDIF output capable
of outputting available DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcast) stations. DAB provides interface
free reception. DAB is also capable of pro-
viding near CD quality audio as well as cor-
responding broadcast data.
Computer I/O
The RT-06 can be operated from a computer
with audio system control software from third-
party developers. This control is accomplished
by sending operating codes from the computer
via a hardwired RS-232 serial connection.
In addition, the RT-06 can be updated using
special software from Rotel.
The Computer I/O input provides the neces-
sary network connections on the rear panel. It
accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs,
such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP
Ethernet cabling. For additional information
on the connections, cabling, software and
operating codes for computer control or up-
dating of the RT-06, contact your authorized
Rotel dealer or Rotel tech support.
EXT REMOTE IN Jack
The 3.5mm mini-jack receives command
codes from industry standard infrared receiv-
ers (Xantech, etc) via hard-wired connections.
This feature could prove useful when the unit
is installed in a cabinet and the front panel is
blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer
for information on these external repeaters
and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-
jack receptacle.
12V Trigger Connection
The RT-06 can be activated by a 12volt trig-
ger signal from a Rotel pre-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.
When the trigger signal is interrupted, the
tuner goes into standby mode. The front panel
indicator light remains lit, but the display goes
dark and the unit will not operate.
The RT-06 will also pass a 12V trigger sig-
nal to associated equipment using a trig-
ger. The signal will remain 12V in normal
operation.
AC Input
Your RT-06 is configured at the factory for the
proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (120 volts AC at 60Hz in
the USA and 230 volts AC at 50Hz in Eu-
rope). The AC line configuration is noted on
a decal on the back of your unit. Make sure
that your unit is configured properly for your
AC line voltage.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit. Once all
other rear panel connections are completed,
plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet
or switched AC outlet on another system
component.
Basic Operating Controls
The following explanations will help you get
familiar with the features and controls. When
a function is available on both the front panel
and the remote, a number (see front panel
illustration) are shown in the instructions. 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 avail-
able only on the front panel or the remote,
but not both.
NOTE
: Controls used for tuning the DAB/AM/
FM receiver are described in the next sections
of this manual.
Standby Button and
Standby LED
The STANDBY button is located on the front
panel of the RT-06 and is not duplicated on
the remote control.
The STANDBY LED will be lit when the AC
input line is connected.
ON Button
Remote only
Pressing the ON button deactivates the stand-
by mode and places the RT-06 into normal
operation.
