and faithfully recreated. The RA-1060 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.

In addition the RA-1060 has independent in- put signal selectors for listening and record- ing. They allow you to listen to one signal source while recording another.

The main functions of the RA-1060 are easy to install and use. If you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find any- thing perplexing. Simply plug in the associ- ated components and enjoy.

Unpacking

Carefully remove the RA-1060, the remote control, and accessories from the shipping carton. Save the shipping carton and all en- closed packing material for future use. Ship- ping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing material may result in se- vere damage.

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.

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low-level signals, the RA-1060 can be affected by its environment. Avoid placing the RA-1060 on top of other components. Also avoid routing audio signal cables near power cords. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference.

The RA-1060 generates heat as part of its nor- mal operation. The heat sinks and ventilation openings in the amplifier are designed to dis- sipate this heat. The ventilation slots in the top cover must be open. There should be 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance around the chassis, and reasonable airflow through the installa- tion location, to prevent the amplifier from overheating.

Remember the weight of the amplifier when you select an installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support it. We recommend installing the RA-1060 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound

quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.

The RA-1060 is supplied with an RR-AT92 remote control and must be placed where the infrared signal from the remote can reach the front panel Remote Sensor.

Cables

Keep power cords, digital cables, and audio cables away from each other. This will mini- mize the chance of the audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using high quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.

Remote Control

The RA-1060 includes an RR-AT92 remote con- trol that operates many of the controls of the RA-1060. In addition, the remote operates basic features of some Rotel CD players, DVD players, and AM/FM tuners.

Audio Controls

The RR-AT92 duplicates the basic audio func- tions of the RA-1060 front panel. 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 the volume level, you can either turn the control on the front panel or use the buttons on the remote. When only one identifier appears, that control is avail- able only on the front panel or the remote, but not both.

CD Functions

The PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, TRACK +/–, RAN- DOM buttons, and NUMERIC keys (0-10) operate many Rotel CD players after the CD button on the remote has been pressed.

DVD Functions

The PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, and TRACK +/–, buttons operate Rotel DVD players, after the AUX1 button on the remote has been pressed.

English

Tuner Functions

The BAND, TUNING, and additional tuning feature buttons operate Rotel tuners, after the TUNER button on the remote has been pressed.

By default, the RR-AT92 operates the Rotel RT-955 tuner. Alternatively, the remote can be reprogrammed to operate the RT-940AX tuner. This programming only needs to be done once:

To program for the RT-940AX: press the

POWER button and the 2 button simultaneously.

To program for the RT-955: press the

POWER button and the 1 button simultaneously.

Remote Sensor

The remote sensor receives infrared signals from the remote control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be unobstructed or the re- mote control will not work properly.

The operation of the remote sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright sunlight or certain types of lighting (such as halogen lights) that emit infrared light. In addition re- mote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-AT92 are weak.

NOTE: To use the remote, aim it at the remote sensor on the front panel of the RA-1060.

Remote Control Batteries

Two UM-4/AAA size batteries (supplied) must be installed before the remote control can be used. To install the batteries, remove the cover on the back of the RR-AT92. Install the batter- ies as shown in the illustration in the battery well. Test the control for proper operation, then replace the cover. When the batteries become weak the remote control won’t operate the RA-1060 consistently. Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.

NOTE: Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be used for a long period of time. Do not leave run down batteries in the re- mote control; they can leak corrosive chemi- cals which will damage the unit.
