Computer I/O p

The RT-06 can be operated from a computer with audio system control software from third- party developers. This control is accomplished by sending operating codes from the computer via a hardwired RS-232 serial connection

In addition, the RT-06 can be updated using special software from Rotel.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the neces- sary network connections on the rear panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling. For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for computer control or up- dating of the RT-06, contact your authorized Rotel dealer or Rotel Tech Support.

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.

12V TRIGGER Connection ]

The RT-06 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.

The RT-06 will also pass a 12V trigger signal to associated equipment using a trigger. The signal will remain 12V in normal operation.

AC Input \

Your RT-06 is conﬁgured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (120 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 receptacle 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.

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.
