RC-1082 Stereo Control Amplifier

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low-level
signals, the RC-1082 can be affected by its
environment. Do not stack the RC-1082 on
top of a power amplifier. This will minimize
chance it will pick up hum or interference. We
recommend installing the RC-1082 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.

Cables

Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal
cables and regular audio signal cables in
your installation away from each other. This
will minimize the chance of the regular audio
signal cables picking up noise or interference
from the power cords or digital cables. Using
only high quality, shielded cables will also help
to prevent noise or interference from degrad-
ing the sound quality of your system. If you
have any questions see your authorized Rotel
dealer for advice about the best cable to use
with your system

RR-AT97 Remote Control

The RC-1082 includes a full-function remote
control that performas most of the fuunctions
of the front panel controls. In addition it can
operate many of the controls on other Rotel
components. See the "Controlling Other
Components" section of this manual for more
information.
Most of the RR-AT97 functions duplicate the
front panel controls. In this manual the remote
control functions are covered in the same
section as the front panel control operation.
Numbers in gray boxes such as
items on the front and rear panel control and
connection illustrations. See Figure 1 on page
3. Letters in gray circles such as
items on the RR-AT97 illustration. See Figure
2 on page 3.

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 Remote
Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to
bright light, particularly sun light. In addition
remote control functions may not work reliably
if the batteries in the RR-AT97 are weak.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

NOTE: The RC-1082 will be turned on and
in the normal operating mode as soon as it
is connected to the AC outlet. Be sure to set
the Volume control to the minimum (full
counterclockwise) position before connect-
ing the power cord.
Connect the supplied power cord to the AC
Input receptacle on the rear panel. Do not
connect the power cord to the power outlet
until all the audio input and output connections
have been made.
It is usually best to plug the RC-1082 directly
into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the
use of extension cords. A heavy duty multi-tap
power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall
outlet) is rated to handle the current demanded
by the components connected to it.
Your RC-1082 is configured at the factory
for the proper AC line voltage in the country
where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC
or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either
50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is
noted on a decal on the rear panel.

NOTE: Should you move your RC-1082
amplifier to another country, it is possible to
indicate reconfigure your amplifier for use on a dif-
A
ferent line voltage. Do not attempt to per-
form this conversion yourself. Opening the
enclosure of the RC-1082 exposes you to
dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified ser-
vice person or the Rotel factory service de-
partment for information.

If you are going to be away from home for an
3
extended period of time such as a month-long
vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug
your amplifier (as well as other audio and video
components) while you are away.

NOTE: The RC-1082 will be turned on and
in the normal operating mode as soon as it
is connected to the AC outlet. Be sure to set
the Volume control to the minimum (full

ing the power cord.
Input Signal Connections
e
[See Figure 3.]
The RC-1082 has conventional RCA-type
connectors for all inputs.
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.

Line Level Inputs

The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-1082
are "line level" inputs. These are for connecting
the analog outputs from components such as
CD players, DVD players, video disc recorders,
tuners for audio or video, or VCRs.
The Left and Right channels are clearly labeled
and should be connected to the corresponding
channels of the source component. The Left
RCA connectors are white, the Right connec-
tors are red. Use high quality RCA cables for
connecting input source components to the
RC-1082. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer
for advice about cables.
