Function Control
The Function control selects the input signal
source. The signal selected by the Function
control is the one you hear, as long as the
Monitor control is set to the Source postion.
(See the following section.) The signal selected
by the Function control also goes to Preamp
Outputs and the Tape Outputs. Turn the front
panel Listening Selector to the source you want
to listen to.
Monitor Control
When the Monitor Control is set to the Source
position, the signal you hear, and which goes
to the Preamp Outputs, is selected by the Func-
tion Control. To listen to the signal from a re-
corder connected to the Tape Inputs, set the
Monitor Control to the Tape position. When
the Monitor Control is in the Tape position, the
signal from the Tape Input also goes to the
Preamp Outputs.
The signal that goes to the Tape Output is
always selected by the Function Control. When
you are recording with a unit that has moni-
toring capabilities, you can listen to the sound
just recorded by setting the Monitor Control
to the Tape position.
12 Volt Trigger Outlet
Some audio components can be turned on
automatically when they receive a 12V turn
on “signal”. The 12V Trigger Outputs of the
RA-01 provide the required signal. Connect
compatible components to the RA-01 with a
conventional 3.5mm miniplug cable. When
the RA-01 is turned off the trigger signal is
interupted, so the components controlled by
it are turned off.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the re-
sult of incorrect connections, or improper
control settings. If you encounter problems, iso-
late the area of the difficulty, check the con-
trol settings, determine the cause of the fault
and make the necessary changes. If you are
unable to get sound from the RA-01 refer to
the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Power Indicator should be lit whenever
the RA-01 is plugged into the wall power outlet
and the Power Switch is pushed in. If it does
not light, test the power outlet with another
electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the
power outlet being used is not controlled by
a switch that has been turned off.

Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged
into the power outlet, but the Power Indicator
of the RA-01 does not light when plugged into
the same outlet and the Power Switch is pushed
in, it indicates that the internal power fuse may
have blown. If you believe this has happened,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer to get the
fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning
properly. Make sure the cables from the sig-
nal source to the RA-01 inputs are connected
properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set
to the proper input. Check the wiring between
the RA-01 and the speakers.
