Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RB-06 Stereo
Power Amplifier. When used in a high-quality
music audio system, it will provide years of
musical enjoyment.
The RB-06 is a full featured, high performance
component. All aspects of the design have been
optimized to retain the full dynamic range and
subtle nuances of your music. The RB-06 has
a highly regulated power supply incorporat-
ing a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power
transformer. This low impedance power supply
has ample power reserves, which enables the
RB-06 to easily reproduce the most demand-
ing audio signals. This type of design is more
expensive to manufacture, but it is better for
the music.
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are
designed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces.
This insures that the precise timing of the
music is maintained and faithfully recreated.
The RB-06 circuitry uses metal film resistors
and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors
in important signal paths. All aspects of this
design have been examined to ensure the most
faithful music reproduction.
The main functions of the RB-06 are easy
to install and use. If you have experience
with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t
find anything perplexing. Simply plug in the
associated components and enjoy.
A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to
your system, turn off ALL the components in
the system when connecting or disconnect-
ing the loudspeakers or any associated com-
ponents. Do not turn the system components
back on until you are sure all the connec-
tions are correct and secure. Pay particular
attention to the speaker wires. There must be
no loose strands that could contact the other
speaker wires, or the chassis of the ampli-
fier.
Please read this manual carefully. It provides
information on how to incorporate the RB-06
into your system as well as information that
will help you get optimum sound performance.
Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer
for answers to any questions you might have.
In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your
questions and comments.
Save the RB-06 shipping carton and all
enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the RB-06 in anything other
than the original packing material may result
in severe damage to your amplifier.
Fill out and send in the owner’s registration
card packed with the RB-06. Also be sure
to keep the original sales receipt. It is your
best record of the date of purchase, which
you will need in the event warranty service is
ever required.
