[See Figure 3.]

NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the system is turned off when you make any signal connections.

Phono/Line Input - and Ground Connection 0

The Phono/Line input is set at the factory to operate as a phono input. If you will not be using the phono input, this input can be converted to a standard line level input. See the “Converting the Phono/Line Input section of this manual. The following information covers using the - input as a phono input.

Plug the cable from the turntable into the ap- propriate left and right phono inputs. If the turntable has a “ground” wire connect it to the screw terminal 0to the left of the Phono inputs. It will help prevent hum and noise.

Line Level Inputs =

The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-06 are “line level” inputs. These are for connect- ing components such as CD players, Hi Fi or NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners, Laser Disc players or the analog output from a CD ROM drive.

The Left and Right channels are labeled and should be connected to the corresponding channels of the source component. The Left connectors are white, the Right connectors are red. Use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the RC-06. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about cables.

Phono/Line Input Conversion

[See Figure 2 for conversion jumper locations.]

The Phono/Line input set configured at the factory for phono input operation. If you do not use the phono input and need another line level input, this input can be converted to a standard line level input.

In order to convert the input for line level usage, four “jumper” connectors inside the RC-06 must be moved from one set of pins to another. This task should be done by a qualified technician. See your authorized Rotel dealer.

Resetting Jumpers

Before opening the RC-06 cabinet to re- set the jumpers, the power cord must be unplugged from the wall. DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET OF THE RC-06 BEFORE THE POWER CORD HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED FROM THE WALL. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL EXPOSE YOU TO HAZARDOUS VOLT- AGES.

After the power cord has been unplugged, remove the screws that hold the cabinet cover in place and slide the cover off. Locate the four jumper pin blocks near the Phono/Line input labeled SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4. The factory standard (phono) position of the jumpers is on pins 2 and 3 of each block. To convert the RC-06 Phono/Line input to a line type input move all four jumpers so they are on pins 1 and 2 of each jumper pin block. Replace the cover of the cabinet. Do not plug the RC-06 power cord back into the wall outlet until the cabinet cover has been replaced.

Recorder Connections q

[See Figure 3.]

The Tape inputs and outputs can be connected to any record/playback device that accepts standard line level analog input and output signals. Typically that will be a conventional tape recorder.

When connecting a recorder to the RC-06 remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-06. Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-06 must be connected to the inputs of the recorder. As with other sources be sure to connect the Left and Right channels of each device to the proper channels on the associated components. Use high quality connecting cables to prevent loss of sound quality.

NOTE: The Tape Outputs are not affected by the Volume or Balance controls. They receive a fixed level signal.

Output Connections w

[See Figure 3.]

The RC-06 has RCA-type output connectors that are compatible with the inputs of most power amplifiers. Use high quality cables and be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-06 to the correct channels of the amplifier.

There are two sets of outputs on the RC-06. The second set of outputs may be used in custom system configurations to drive a second power amplifier or to supply a signal to a special signal processor.

NOTE: Changes to the settings of the Volume and Balance controls affect the signal from the Preamp Outputs.

FAQ

How do I convert the Phono/Line input to a standard line level input?

Refer to the Converting the Phono/Line Input section of the manual for detailed instructions on converting the input for line level usage.

Can I use the Tape Outputs for recording?

Yes, the Tape Outputs are not affected by the Volume or Balance controls and receive a fixed level signal for recording.

How should I connect the RC-06 to a power amplifier?

Use high quality RCA cables to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-06 to the correct channels of the amplifier for optimal sound quality.
