Polarity and Phasing

The polarity - the positive/negative orientation of the connections - for

every speaker and ampliﬁer connection must be consistent so all the

speakers will be in phase. If the polarity of one connection is mistakenly

reversed, bass output will be very weak and stereo imaging degraded.

All wire is marked so you can identify the two conductors. There may be

ribs or a stripe on the insulation with different color conductors (copper

and silver). There may be polarity indications printed on the insulation.

Identify the positive and negative conductors and be consistent with every

speaker and ampliﬁer connection.

Speaker Wire Connections

NOTE: The following text describes both binding post and banana plug

connections. DO NOT use both connection methods in combination to

connect multiple speakers.

The ampliﬁer has two sets of color coded terminals for each ampliﬁer

channel. The speaker terminals accept bare wire, connector lugs, or

“banana” type connectors (except in European Community countries

where their use is not permitted).

Route the wires from the RCX-1500 to the speakers. Give yourself

enough slack so you can move the components to allow access to the

speaker connectors

NOTE: Be sure to note the location of the LEFT and RIGHT speaker

terminals and connect your LEFT and RIGHT speakers to the correct

outputs.

If you are using banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then plug

into the backs of the speaker connectors. When using banana plugs,

the collars of the binding post terminals should be screwed in all the

way (clockwise).

If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are

attaching bare wires directly to the speaker connectors, separate the wire

conductors and strip back the insulation from the end of each conductor.

Be careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew (turn counterclockwise)

the binding post collar. Place the connector lug around the shaft, or insert

the bundled wire into the hole in the shaft. Turn the collars clockwise to

clamp the connector lug or wire ﬁrmly in place.

NOTE: Make sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch

adjacent wires or connectors.

Internet Radio Quick Start

What you need before starting

Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following:

A broadband Internet connection. UÊ

Access point to internet through wireless LAN. (wired LAN connection UÊ

is also possible with a Rotel supplied USB Ethernet adaptor)

With wireless LAN connection, internet radio should work within 100

metres of the wireless access point, subject to the router/Wi-Fi gateway

being placed in the optimum area for your location. The user can conﬁrm

the WiFi Strength under the settings menu. (Network--->Settings-->WiFi

Strength)

Make sure that your LAN is connected properly and is able to access

the internet. To access internet radio stations an internet connection is

required.

First Time Connection To The Network

Plug in the USB Wi-Fi dongle to the rear USB port



and push the

STANDBY button to power up this unit. The display on the front will light

up and display:

Starting ... ...

SCANNING NETWORK.. ...

After a few seconds, it will start to scan for network.

If it can not ﬁnd one the display will say:

NO NETWORK FOUND

When the radio ﬁnds your network, it displays the ESSID for the access

point on the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point

by the person who set up the network - for example:

< MY NETWORK >

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your unit will ﬁnd

more than one wireless access point if using wireless connection, in

which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Press the

PREV, NEXT keys on the panel to see the ESSID for each access point

the radio has found.

If the screen displays “Enter WEP key” or “Enter WPA key” then the network

is using one of the encryption systems, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Please obtain the access code from

the person who set up this wireless network, or check the user manual

of your router for this information. Input the code into the unit to access

the wireless LAN.

Note: If you would like to use a static IP address, or if the unit can not

automatically get an IP address, then please see the ‘Network config’

section under the ‘Settings’ section at the end of the manual.
