ROTEL RC1070 - Manual (Page 11)

11 English
The RC-1070 printed circuit boards are de-
signed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This
insures that the precise timing of the music
is maintained and faithfully recreated. The
RC-1070 circuitry uses metal film resistors and
polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in
important signal paths. All aspects of this de-
sign have been examined with the final goal
being faithful reproduction of music.
The RC-1070 is straightforward in its installa-
tion and operation. If you have experience
with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find
anything perplexing. Simply plug in the as-
sociated components and enjoy.
Please read this manual carefully. It provides
complete information on how to incorporate
the RC-1070 into your system as well as gen-
eral information that will help you get optimum
performance. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions.
In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your
questions and comments.
Unpacking
Carefully remove the RC-1070, the remote
control, and accessories from the shipping
carton. Save the shipping carton and all en-
closed packing material for future use. Ship-
ping or moving the unit in anything other than
the original packing material may result in
severe damage.
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 required.
Placement
Like all audio components that handle low-
level signals, the RC-1070 can be affected
by its environment. To minimize the chance
the RC-1070 will pick up hum or interference,
do not place it on top of an amplifier or any
other device with a large power transformer.
Keep the RC-1070 away from devices that
have motors for the same reason. Do not
place the RC-1070 where it will be exposed
to direct sunlight.
CD Functions
The PLAY , STOP , PAUSE , TRACK
, RANDOM buttons, and NUMER-
IC keys (0-10) operate many Rotel CD play-
ers after the CD button on the remote has
been pressed.
DVD Functions
The PLAY , STOP , PAUSE , and TRACK
, buttons operate Rotel DVD play-
ers, after the AUX1 button on the remote has
been pressed.
Tuner Functions
The T/P, TUNING, NUMERIC, and additional
tuning feature buttons operate Rotel tuners,
after the TUNER button on the remote has
been pressed.
By default, the RR-AT94 operates the Rotel
RT-1080/RT-961/RT-955 tuners. Alternatively,
the remote can be reprogrammed to operate
the RT-940AX tuner. This programming only
needs to be done once:
To program for the RT-940AX: press
the POWER button and the 2 button simul-
taneously.
To program for the RT-1080/RT-961/
RT-955: press the POWER button and the
1 button simultaneously.
Remote Sensor
The remote sensor receives infrared signals
from the remote control. Do not cover or block
the sensor. It must be unobstructed or the re-
mote control will not work properly.
The operation of the Remote Sensor can also
be affected if it is exposed to bright sunlight
or certain types of lighting (such as halogen
lights) that emit infrared light. In addition re-
mote control functions may not work reliably
if the batteries in the RR-AT94 are weak.
NOTE
: To use the remote, aim it at the remote
sensor on the front panel of the RC-1070.
We recommend installing the RC-1070 in
furniture designed to house audio compo-
nents. Such furniture is designed to reduce
or suppress vibration which can adversely
affect sound quality. Ask your authorized
Rotel dealer for advice about component
furniture and proper installation of audio
components.
The RC-1070 is supplied with an RR-AT94 re-
mote control and must be placed where the
infrared signal from the remote can reach
the front panel Remote Sensor.
Cables
Keep power cords, digital cables, and audio
cables away from each other. This will mini-
mize the chance of the audio signal cables
picking up noise or interference from the
power cords or digital cables. Using high
quality, shielded cables will also help to pre-
vent noise or interference. If you have any
questions see your authorized Rotel dealer
for advice about the best cable to use with
your system.
Remote Control
The RC-1070 includes an RR-AT94 remote
control that operates many of the controls of
the RC-1070. In addition, the remote oper-
ates basic featurecs of some Rotel CD play-
ers, DVD players, and AM/FM tuners.
Audio Controls
The RR-AT94 duplicates the basic audio func-
tions of the RC-1070 front panel. When a func-
tion is available on both the front panel and
the remote, a number (front panel controls)
and a letter (remote buttons) are shown in the
instructions. For example, to change the vol-
ume level you can either turn the control
on the front panel or use the buttons on
the remote control. When only one identifier
appears, that control is available only on the
front panel or the remote, but not both.
