Your RA-1060 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC ). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel. Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit.

NOTE: Should you move your RA-1060 to an- other country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion your- self. Opening the enclosure of the RA-1060 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel fac- tory service department for information.

If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a month- long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your audio and video components while you are away.

POWER Button

Power Indicator

Press the front panel POWER button, to turn the RA-1060 on. The power indicator light is illuminated when the RA-1060 is on. Press POWER button again to turn the RA-1060 off.

Once the RA-1060 has been turned on with the front panel button, it can be switched be- tween normal operating mode and standby mode with the POWER button on the RR-AT92 remote control.

Auxiliary Power Outlet (North American version)

The RA-1060 has a switched outlet on the back panel. Power is available from this outlet when the RA-1060 is turned on. This outlet can pro- vide up to 200 watts and is appropriate for supplying power to signal sources, such as CD players, tuners, or tape decks. It should not be used for power amplifiers. Connecting com- ponents that will draw more than 200 watts to these outputs could damage the RA-1060.

NOTE: Do not connect a power amplifier to the auxiliary power outlet on the RA-1060. Power amplifiers often draw more power than this outlet can provide.

12V TRIGGER Connection

Several Rotel amplifiers can be turned on and off using a 12 volt signal, provided by the 12V TRIGGER connection. When the RA-1060 is activated, a 12 volt DC signal appears at this connector and will turn on an amplifier. When the RA-1060 is turned off, the trigger signal is interrupted and the external amplifier will be turned off.

Audio Controls

The following controls are used to operate the RA-1060.

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 RA-1060 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.

English

RECORDING Selector

The RA-1060 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 speakers. If desired, use the SPEAKERS selector to turn off the signal to the speakers for private listening.
