Unpacking
Carefully remove the RC-1070, 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 RC-1070 can be affected by its environment. To minimize the chance the RC-1070 will pick up hum or interference, do not place it on top of an amplifier or any other device with a large power transformer. Keep the RC-1070 away from devices that have mo- tors for the same reason. Do not place the RC-1070 where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
We recommend installing the RC-1070 in fur- niture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or sup- press vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.
The RC-1070 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 RC-1070 includes an RR-AT92 remote con- trol that operates many of the controls of the RC-1070. 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 RC-1070 front panel. When a function is available on both the front panel and the remote, a number (front panel con- trols) and a letter (remote buttons) 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 control. When only one identi- fier appears, that control is available 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.
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 RC-1070.
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 RC-1070 consistently. Installing fresh batter- ies 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.
