Ac Power And Control - Rotel RC-995 Manual De Instrucciones

The RC-995 has a superb phono preamp stage, derived from
Rotel's finest phono preamplifier, the RHQ 10. The preamp stage
can be used with either a moving magnet (MM) or a moving coil
(MC) phono cartridge. This shows our commitment to phono
sound quality and our interest in the recreation of fine music.
The RC-995 is straightforward in its installation and operation. 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
Please read this manual carefully. It provides complete informa-
tion on how to incorporate the RC-995 into your system as well as
general information that will help you get optimum sound perfor-
mance. Please contact your authorized Rotel audio retailer for an-
swers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at
Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RC-995 shipping carton and all enclosed packing mate-
rial for future use. Shipping or moving the RC-995 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
RC-995. 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
Like all audio components that handle low-level signals, the RC-
995 can be affected by its environment. Do not stack the RC-995
on top of a power amplifier. This will minimize chance it will pick
up hum or interference. We recommend installing the RC-995 in
furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is
designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely af-
fect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice
about component furniture and proper installation of audio com-
ponents.
Cables
Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular
audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This
will minimize the chance of the regular audio signal cables pick-
ing up noise or interference from the power cords or digital
cables. Using only high quality, shielded cables will also help to
prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of
your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel
dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input
17
The RC-995 does not use a significant amount of power. However
there are two auxiliary power outlets on the back of the unit,
which can be used to supply power for other units. Consequently
it is usually best to plug the RC-995 directly into a 2-pin polarized
wall outlet. Avoid the use of extension cords. A heavy duty multi-
tap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet) is
rated to handle the current demanded by the components con-
nected to it.
Note: Do not connect the power cord for a power amplifier to the
auxiliary power outlets on the RC-995. Power amplifiers often
draw more power than these outlets can provide.
Your RC-995 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line
voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 volts AC
or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The
AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the left side.
Note: Should you move your RC-995 amplifier to another country,
it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different
line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself.
Opening the enclosure of the RC-995 exposes you to dangerous
voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory
service department for information.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of
time such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to
unplug your amplifier (as well as other audio and video compo-
nents) while you are away.
Power/Standby Switch
The Power/Standby switch is located on the left side of the front
panel. When it is pressed the RC-995 is turned on and the function
indicator lights are illuminated. Pressing the Standby switch again
will put the RC-995 in "standby" mode and the function indicators
are turned off. The Power Indicator light above the Standby but-
ton is always illuminated when the RC-995 is connected to a "live"
AC outlet.
Auxiliary Power Outputs
The RC-995 has two switched outlets on the back panel. Power is
available from these outlets when the RC-995 is playing. Power to
these outlets is turned off when the RC-995 is in Standby mode.
These outlets can provide up to a total of 400 watts. They are ap-
propriate for supplying power to signal sources, such as CD play-
ers, tuners, or tape decks. They should not be used for power
amplifiers. Connecting components that will draw more than 400
watts to these outputs could damage the Standby switch in the
RC-995.
