Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RB-06 Stereo Power Amplifier. When used in a high-quality music audio system, it will provide years of musical enjoyment.

The RB-06 is a full featured, high performance component. All aspects of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and subtle nuances of your music. The RB-06 has a highly regulated power supply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed toroi- dal power transformer. This low impedance power supply has ample power reserves, which enables the RB-06 to easily reproduce the most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better for the music.

T h e p r i n t e d c i r c u i t b o a r d s ( P C B ) a r e designed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and faithfully recreated. The RB-06 circuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this design have been examined to ensure the most faithful music reproduction.

The main functions of the RB-06 are easy to install and use. 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

WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL the components in the system when connecting or discon- necting the loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system com- ponents back on until you are sure all the connections are correct and secure. Pay particular attention to the speaker wires. There must be no loose strands that could contact the other speaker wires, or the chassis of the amplifier.

Please read this manual carefully. It provides information on how to incorporate the RB-06 into your system as well as information that will help you get optimum sound performance. 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 RB-06 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RB-06 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 RB-06. 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.
