Phono Input Selector Switch q

The Phono input is for a moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) phono cartridge only and is incompatible with line level components. Set the Phono Input Selector Switch as appropri- ate for the phono cartridge you are using. Leave the switch button in the out position for a moving magnet cartridge; push the switch in for a moving coil cartridge.

Some high output moving coil cartridges are designed to operate in the moving magnet position. If you are in doubt about the correct setting, check the instruction manual for your phono cartridge for information regarding its output voltage and the expected input imped- ance. The Phono input has 47 kOhms input impedance and 2.5 mV sensitivity in the MM position and 100 Ohms input impedance and

0.25mV sensitivity in the MC position. If you still have questions about the proper setting of the phono input selector switch, consult your authorized Rotel dealer.

Phono Input e and

Ground w Connection

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 to the left of the Phono inputs. It will help prevent hum and noise.

Recorder Connections t

The Tape 1 and Tape 2 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-1082, remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-1082. Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-1082 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.

Output Connections u

Most RCA-type output connectors are compat- ible with most power amplifiers. As always, use high quality cables and be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-1082 to the correct channels of the amplifier.

NOTE: There are two sets of RCA outputs on the RC-1082. The second set of outputs may be used in custom system configura- tions to drive a second power amplifier or to supply a signal to a special signal pro- cessor.

12 Volt Trigger Outlet p

Some audio components can be turned on automatically when they receive a 12V turn on “signal”. The 12V Trigger Outputs of RC-1082 provides the required signal. Connect the compatible components to the RC-1082 with a conventional 1/8” miniplug cable. When the RC-1082 is in Standby mode, the trigger signal is interrupted, so the components controlled by it are turned off.

IR Inputs and Outputs

External Remote Input i

This 3.5 mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN) receives command codes from an industry- standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) located in the main listening room. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.

NOTE: The IR signals from the EXTERNAL REMOTE IN jack can be relayed to source components using external IR emitters or hard wired connections from the IR OUT jacks.

IR Output o

The IR OUT 1 and 2 jacks send IR signals received at the EXTERNAL REM IN jack to an infrared emitter placed in front of a source component or to other Rotel components with compatible rear panel IR input connectors.

English

This output is used to allow IR signals to pass along IR signals from a remote control when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet.

See your authorized Rotel dealer for informa- tion on IR repeater systems.

NOTE: The EXT REM IN jack located next to these jacks is for use with an external IR sensor duplicating the front panel IR sensor and located in the primary zone.

12V Trigger Connections p

Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turn- ing them on and off using a 12 volt trigger signal sent to them. The RC-1082 provides two 12 volt trigger outputs. When the RC-1082 is turned on, a 12 volt DC signal is sent to the amplifiers to turn them on. When the RC-1082 is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifiers turn off.

To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RC-1082 12V TRIGGER OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.

NOTE: The number “1” 12V trigger signal is turned off when headphones are plugged into the front panel headphone outlet. See the Phones Output section.

Computer I/O Connector y

The RC-1082 can be operated from a personal computer running audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending the operating codes normally sent by the RR-AT97 remote control over a hard-wired network connection from the computer.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the neces- sary connection on the back panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.

For additional information on the connections, software, and operating codes for computer control of the RC-1082, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
