English

The RC-995 has a superb phono preamp stage, derived from

Rotel’s finest phono preamplifier, the RHQ 10.

The preamp stage

can be used with either a moving magnet (MM) or a moving coil

(MC) phono cartridge. This shows our commitment to phono

sound quality and our interest in the recreation of fine music.

The RC-995 is straightforward in its installation and operation. If

you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find

anything perplexing. Simply plug in the associated components

and enjoy.

A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. It provides complete informa-

tion on how to incorporate the RC-995 into your system as well as

general information that will help you get optimum sound perfor-

mance. Please contact your authorized Rotel audio retailer for an-

swers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at

Rotel welcome your questions and comments.

Save the RC-995 shipping carton and all enclosed packing mate-

rial for future use. Shipping or moving the RC-995 in anything other

than the original packing material may result in severe damage to

your amplifier.

Fill out and send in the owner’s registration card packed with the

RC-995. Also be sure to 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-

995 can be affected by its environment. Do not stack the RC-995

on top of a power amplifier. This will minimize chance it will pick

up hum or interference. We recommend installing the RC-995 in

furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is

designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely af-

fect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice

about component furniture and proper installation of audio com-

ponents.

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 pick-

ing 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 degrading 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

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

The RC-995 does not use a significant amount of power. However

there are two auxiliary power outlets on the back of the unit,

which can be used to supply power for other units. Consequently

it is usually best to plug the RC-995 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 con-

nected to it.

Note: Do not connect the power cord for a power amplifier to the

auxiliary power outlets on the RC-995. Power amplifiers often

draw more power than these outlets can provide.

Your RC-995 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line

voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 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 left side.

Note: Should you move your RC-995 amplifier to another country,

it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different

line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself.

Opening the enclosure of the RC-995 exposes you to dangerous

voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory

service department for information.

If you are going to be away from home for an 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 compo-

nents) while you are away.

Power/Standby Switch

and Power Indicator

The Power/Standby switch is located on the left side of the front

panel. When it is pressed the RC-995 is turned on and the function

indicator lights are illuminated. Pressing the Standby switch again

will put the RC-995 in “standby” mode and the function indicators

are turned off. The Power Indicator light above the Standby but-

ton is always illuminated when the RC-995 is connected to a “live”

AC outlet.

Auxiliary Power Outputs

The RC-995 has two switched outlets on the back panel. Power is

available from these outlets when the RC-995 is playing. Power to

these outlets is turned off when the RC-995 is in Standby mode.

These outlets can provide up to a total of 400 watts. They are ap-

propriate for supplying power to signal sources, such as CD play-

ers, tuners, or tape decks. They should not be used for power

amplifiers. Connecting components that will draw more than 400

watts to these outputs could damage the Standby switch in the

RC-995.
