Rotel Understanding 12 Volt Trigger Cables for Amplifiers

9English

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-02 provide the required signal. Connect compatible components to the RA-02 with a conventional 3.5mm miniplug cable. When the RA-02 is in Standby mode, the trigger signal is interupted, so the components controlled by it are turned off.

Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the RA-02 refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
