Audio Controls

The following controls are used to operate the RC-1070.

VOLUME Control

Turn the front panel VOLUME control clock- wise to increase the volume, or counterclock- wise to decrease the volume. Alternatively, press the VOL buttons on the remote control to ad- just the volume up or down

CONTOUR Selector

Instead of conventional tone controls, the RC-1070 has a front-panel CONTOUR con- trol which selects one of five available settings. Each setting provides a fixed frequency con- tour as follows:

OFF: the tone contour circuits are bypassed to ensure the purest possible sound.

L-1:moderate increase in bass frequencies (typically +3dB @ 100Hz).

L-2:more increase in bass frequencies (typi- cally +4dB @ 100Hz).

H:moderate increase in high frequencies (+3dB @ 10kHz).

LH: combination of L-2 bass and H high fre- quency increases.

LISTENING Selector

The setting of the LISTENING selector controls which of the input signals goes to the main outputs and onto the power amplifier – or, more simply, which source is heard. Turn the front panel control to the source you want to hear, or press the corresponding button on the RR-AT92 remote.

NOTE: The AUX1 button on the remote dupli- cates the function of the front panel AUX but- ton.

RECORDING Selector

The RC-1070 can record from any input source (except TAPE 2) to a recorder connected to TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 outputs. To select an input source for recording, turn the RECORDING control on the front-panel to the desired source.

This selection is independent of the source selected for listening. While recording, you may still select a different source using the LISTENING selector.

If you have a three-head recorder or a DAT recorder that allows simultaneous read and write operation, you can monitor your recording by setting the LISTENING switch to the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 position.

NOTE: If you select TAPE 1 with the RECORD- ING control, the recording signal will only be available at the TAPE 2 recording outputs, not the TAPE 1 outputs. To dub a tape, select TAPE 1 and record to the tape deck connected to the TAPE 2 outputs.

MUTE Button

To temporarily mute the sound of the system press the MUTE button on the RR-AT92 remote. Press the button again to return the sound volume to the original level. The LED in the volume control will flash when the unit is muted.

PHONES Output

The PHONES output allows you to connect headphones for private listening. This output accepts standard stereo phone (1/4”) plugs. If your headphones have another type of plug, such as a 1/8” mini-plug, you will need an adapter plug. Contact your authorized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter plug.

NOTE: Plugging in headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs. In most instances, you should turn off the power amplifier when listening to headphones.
