A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and
operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various
RMB-1506 system confi gurations as well as general information that
will help you get 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 RMB-1506 shipping carton and all enclosed packing
material for future use. Shipping or moving the RMB-1506 in anything
other than the original packing material may result in severe damage
to your amplifi er.
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 RMB-1506 on a solid, level surface away from sunlight,
heat, moisture, or vibration.
Don't stack other components or objects on top of the RMB-1506.
Don't let any liquid fall into the unit.
Likewise, remember the weight of the amplifi er when you select an
installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its
considerable bulk.
The RMB-1506 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.

Optional Fan Kit

4
The RMB-1506's generous heatsinks provide adequate cooling for
most installations. However, when installing the amplifi er in a confi ned
space or near other heat-generating components, additional cooling
may be desirable. The optional RKBF-1 fan kit can be easily installed
for additional forced air cooling. In addition to lowering operating
temperatures, the optional fan kit improves the performance of the
amplifi er, especially when driving diffi cult loudspeaker loads. See your
Rotel dealer for information on the optional fan kit.
Note: The optional cooling kit generates mechanical fan noise during
operation. When using the fan cooling, select a location for the
amplifier where the noise will not be intrusive.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

-
Your RMB-1506 is confi gured 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 confi guration is noted on a
label on the back panel.
The RMB-1506 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 of the RMB-1506 is turned
off. Then, plug one end of the cord into the AC power connector on
the back panel of the amplifi er. 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 amplifi er.
