A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and
operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various system
configurations as well as general information that will help you get the
optimum performance from your system. 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 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future
use. Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original
packing material may result in severe damage to your unit and void
the warranty.
Fill out and send in the owner's registration card packed with the unit.
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.

Placement

Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture,
or vibration.
Don't stack other components or objects on top of the unit. Don't let any
liquid fall into the unit.
Note the weight and size of the unit. If placing the unit on a shelf, cabinet
or rack, make sure the full weight of the unit can be supported.
The unit generates heat during normal operation. Do not block ventilation
openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed space
around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate
ventilation.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

o
Your unit is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in
the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60 Hz, Europe:
230 volts/50 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a label on the
back panel.
The unit is supplied with the proper AC power cord. Use only this cord
or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cord. Do not use an
extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel is turned off. Then, plug one
end of the cord into the AC power connector on the back panel of the
unit. Plug the other end into an appropriate AC outlet.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time,
it is a sensible precaution to unplug your digital gateway.
Note: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are included with more than one AC cord. Please use
only the one appropriate for your country/region.

Power Switch and Indicator Light

The power switch is located on the left side of the front panel. To turn
the unit ON (or to activate the automatic power-on modes), push the
switch in.
The indicator light above the switch will light, indicating that the unit is
turned on. To turn the unit off, push the button again and return it to the
out position.

12V Trigger Input

i
An input jack for connecting the wires carrying a +12 volt trigger signal
from a Rotel preamp or surround sound processor to turn the unit on
and off.
The TRIGGER INPUT accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from
3 volts to 30 volts. Use a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both
ends. The +12V DC signal appears at the "tip" connector.

12V Trigger Output

i
The 12V TRIG jack labeled OUT is used to pass the remote turn-on signal
to another Rotel unit. Any 12V Trigger signal at the INPUT jack will be
passed through to the OUT jack.

Connection Overview

Before continuing further to other sections in the manual, please make
sure all the cable connections are made properly. Refer to figure 2.

DAB/FM Broadcasting

w
Please use the supplied indoor antenna to connect the DAB and FM
connector on the rear panel. To receive the best FM signal, make sure
there is enough room for the T-shaped indoor antenna to fully extend.
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall if desired.
Experiment with different positions to maximize reception.
