RT-02 AM/FM Stereo Tuner

Rear Panel Connections

The RT-02 provides rear panel connections for
audio line level output, an FM antenna, an AM
antenna, a 12V Trigger, a remote IR sensor,
and AC power input.
NOTE: Do not plug any system component
into an AC source until system hookup is
complete and you are confident that all com-
ponent-to-component connections have been
properly made.

RCA Outputs

w
Line level RCA audio outputs send a fixed-level
stereo signal from the RT-02 to your preampli-
fier, system controller, or integrated amplifier.
Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect
the LEFT OUTPUT jack to the left channel tuner
input on your system controller and the RIGHT
OUTPUT jack to the right channel tuner input
on your system controller.

AM Loop Antenna

q
The RT-02 includes a loop antenna to receive
AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from
the box and locate it near the RT-02.
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire
from the loop antenna to the pair of screw
terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one
wire to each terminal. It does not matter which
wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure
that the connections are solid and that the two
wires do not touch.
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient
the antenna to find the best position.
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, con-
nect its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the
G and AM terminals in place of the loop
antenna, only after a professional contractor
has installed the antenna system in accor-
dance with local electrical codes.

FM Antenna

=
The RT-02 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor
FM antenna. Remove this antenna from the box
and connect its attached coax F-type plug to
the FM antenna connector on the RT-02. For
best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna.
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the
antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment with
positioning for best reception.
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect
its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connec-
tor in place of the indoor wire antenna, only
after a professional contractor has installed
the antenna system in accordance with local
electrical codes. In the USA, you will need to
use the supplied F-type converter to connect
the 75 ohm coax cable to the antenna input.

AC Input

t
Your RT-02 is configured at the factory for the
proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (115 volts AC at 60Hz in the
USA and 230 volts AC at 50Hz in Europe).
The AC line configuration is noted on a de-
cal on the back of your unit. Make sure that
your unit is configured properly for your AC
line voltage.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT re-
ceptacle on the back of the unit. Once all other
rear panel connections are completed, plug the
power cord into an AC wall outlet or switched
AC outlet on another system component.

12V TRIGGER Connection

The RT-02 can be activated by a 12 volt trigger
signal from a Rotel preamplifier.
The trigger input accepts any control signal (AC
or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. When
a cable is connected to the input and a trigger
signal is present, the tuner is activated. When
the trigger signal is interrupted, the tuner goes
into standby mode. The front panel indicator
light remains lit, but the display goes dark and
the unit will not operate.
NOTE: When using the 12V Trigger fea-
ture, leave the POWER button in the ON
position.

EXT REMOTE IN Jack

This 3.5mm mini-jack receives command codes
from industry-standard infrared receivers
(Xantech, etc.) via hard-wired connections.
This feature could prove useful when the unit
is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel
sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized
Rotel dealer for information on these external
repeaters and the proper wiring of a jack to
fit the mini-jack receptacle.

Basic Operating Controls

The following explanations will help you get
familiar with the features and controls. When
a function is available on both the front panel
and the remote, a number (see front panel
illustration) and a letter (see remote control
illustration) are shown in the instructions. For
example, to change from the AM to FM band,
you can either press the front panel button or
use the button on the remote. When only one
identifier appears, that control is available
only on the front panel or the remote, but
not both.
NOTE: Controls used for tuning the AM/
FM receiver are described in the next sec-
tions of this manual.

Power Button

Power LED
The POWER button is located on the front
panel of the RT-02 and is not duplicated on
the remote control. Push the button IN to turn
the unit on. The LED above the switch and the
e front panel display will light up. Push the but-
ton again (returning it to the OUT position),
to turn the unit off.
NOTE: If you are using a switched outlet on
another component to power the RT-02 or
if you are using the 12 volt trigger feature,
leave the POWER switch in the ON position.

Remote Sensor

This front panel sensor receives infrared signals
from the remote control. Make sure you do
not accidentally block this sensor with cables
or accessories.
