Audio Controls

Volume Controls and

The front panel Volume control increases or decreases the volume in both channels at the same time. Turn it clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease the volume. On the RR-969 remote Volume Button , press the ▲ to increase volume or ▼ to decrease volume.

Listening Selector Buttons and Display

Press one of the Listening Selector Buttons to select the input signals that goes to the main outputs and to the power amplifier – or, more simply, which source is heard. The source selected is shown in the front panel FL Display .

Recording Selector Buttons and Display

Press one of the Recording Selector Buttons to select the input signal that goes to the record outputs. The source selected is shown in the front panel FL Display . When you are not re- cording, press the Off button. This minimizes the chance of interference from other compo- nents in the system.

Having a separate Recording and Listening selector adds a significant degree of flexibil- ity in how you can use the RC-1090. For ex- ample by selecting CD with the Record Se- lector and selecting Tuner with the Listening Selector you can record a CD onto a tape while listening to the tuner.

If you wish to duplicate (“dub”) a recording from one recorder to another, the source unit must be connected to Tape 1 in/outputs. Press the Tape 1 Recording Selector button. Con- nect the unit recording the signal to the Tape 2 in/outputs.

Phones Output

The Phones output allows you to connect head- phones for private listening. This output ac- commodates 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 autho- rized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter plug. Note: Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs. The power amplifier will continue to receive a signal and the speakers will continue to play.

Remote Sensor

The Remote Sensor is located to the right of the Phones jack on the front panel. It picks up the infra-red signals from the remote control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be clear of obstructions or the remote control will not work properly. The operation of the Re- mote Sensor can also be affected if it is ex- posed to bright light, particularly sun light. In addition remote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-969 are weak.

FL Display Control

Turning FL Display On/Off

To turn the front panel FL Display on or off, press the Display button on the RR-969. When the display is set to off, the Listening Selector Display and Recording Selector Dis- play will light for 5 seconds when a new source is selected.

Customizing FL Display

You can program the RC-1090 to display custom names, up to 5 characters long, in the Listening and Recording Selection Displays. For example, if the Aux 1 input was connected to a Digital Satelite Dish, you could program it to RC-1090 to display “DSS” when the Aux 1 input is selected.

Example:

1Select Aux 1 as the listening input so AUX

1 appears in the display. Press and hold the Display button until the characters in the display change to blinking solid blocks.

2Use the RR-969 τ/υ buttons to scroll through the character set. (See page 3 of the RR-969 manual for a listing of the char-

acter set.) When the character you want is displayed, press Enter to confirm it and go to the next character.

3Repeat the previous step to select the re- maining characters. After the last charac- ter is selected and confirmed the new name is saved automatically.

Once the Listening input display is custom- ized, the new name also appears when that input is selected as the Recording input. (The exception is the Tape 2 input since it cannot be selected as the recording source.)

When an input that has a customized name is selected, the original input name is displayed for 2 seconds, before the customized name is displayed.
