Recorder Connections

[See Figure 6 for recorder connection illustration.]

The Tape 1 and Tape 2 inputs and outputs can be connected to

any record/playback device that accepts standard line level ana-

log input and output signals. Typically that will be a conventional

tape recorder.

When connecting a recorder to the RC-995 remember that the

out-

puts

of the recorder must be connected to the tape

inputs

of the

RC-995. Similarly the tape

outputs

of the RC-995 must be con-

nected 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

Note: The RC-995 has both RCA and XLR type output connectors.

The two sets of outputs must not be used at the same time.

Balanced Output Switch

When the RCA outputs are used the Balanced Output switch must

be set to the Off position. Set the switch in the On position when

using the XLR Balanced outputs.

RCA Outputs

[See Figure 2 for RCA output connection illustration.]

Most power amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors. With

such amplifiers the Balanced Outputs switch

must be set to

the Off position. Then connect a set of cables between the out-

puts of the RC-995 and the inputs of the amplifier. As always, use

high quality cables and be sure to connect the Left and Right

channel outputs of the RC-995 to the correct channels of the am-

plifier.

Note: There are two sets of RCA outputs on the RC-995. The sec-

ond set of outputs may be used in custom system configurations

to drive a second power amplifier or to supply a signal to a special

signal processor.

Balanced XLR Outputs

[See Figure 3 for Balanced XLR output connection illustration.]

The XLR type outputs of the RC-995 are “balanced” outputs. These

provide the advantage of allowing the power amplifier to be

placed a great distance from the RC-995 without causing loss of

sound quality or picking up noise over the long cable run. Of

course the associated power amplifier must have balanced XLR-

type inputs in order to use this feature.

Input Signal Connections

and

[See Figure 4 for phono input connection illustration.]

The RC-995 has conventional RCA type input connectors, the type

found on nearly all audio equipment.

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.

Phono Input Selector Switch

The Phono input is for a moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC)

phono cartridge only and is incompatible with line level compo-

nents. Set the phono input selector switch

as appropriate 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 volt-

age and the expected input impedance. The Phono input has 47

kOhms input impedance and 2.5 mV sensitivity in the MM position

and 100 Ohms input impedance and 0.25 mV 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 Connection

Plug the cable from the turntable into the appropriate 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.

Line Level Inputs

[See Figure 5 for line level input connection illustration.]

The CD, Video, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-995 are “line level”

inputs. These are for connecting components such as CD players,

Hi Fi or NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners for audio

or video, Laser Disc players or the analog output from a CD ROM

drive.

The Left and Right channels are clearly labeled and should be

connected to the corresponding channels of the source compo-

nent. The Left RCA connectors are white, the Right connectors

are red. Use high quality RCA cables for connecting input source

components to the RC-995. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for

advice about cables.
