A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. It provides

complete information on how to incorporate

the RLC-1050 into your system as well as

general information that will help you get the

greatest benefit from it. Keep this manual for

future reference. Please contact your autho-

rized Rotel dealer for answers to any ques-

tions you might have. In addition, all of us at

Rotel welcome your questions and comments.

The RLC-1050 can be set to work with either

115V/60Hz or 230/50Hz AC power systems.

See the “Power Mains Voltage Switch” sec-

tion of this manual for more information.

Do not use an extension cord or power strip

to provide power to the RLC-1050. Plug it

directly into a wall outlet.

When unplugging the RLC-1050, or any other

electrical device, do not pull on the power cord.

Grasp the power cord plug and pull it straight

out of the wall.

Do not plug an extension cord into the

RLC-1050 to provide extra outlets. Under no

circumstances should the total power require-

ments of the components plugged into the

RLC-1050 exceed 1500 watts. If you have

questions, consult your authorized Rotel dealer.

Be certain to make all power and audio con-

nections in the system before turning the

RLC-1050 on for the first time.

Save the RLC-1050 shipping carton and all

enclosed packing material for future use.

Shipping or moving the RLC-1050 in anything

other than the original packing material may

result in severe damage.

Fill out and send in the owner’s registration

card packed with the RLC-1050. 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 electrical components, the RLC-1050

can be affected by its environment and can

affect other components. Do not place the

RLC-1050 on top of other components, and

do not place other components on top of it.

This will minimize chance that the other com-

ponents will pick up hum or interference.

Do not place the RLC-1050 where it will be

exposed to direct sunlight, excessive dust,

humidity or moisture, heat or cold.

We recommend installing the RLC-1050 in

furniture designed to house audio components.

Such furniture is designed to reduce or sup-

press 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 sig-

nal cables and regular audio signal cables

in your installation away from each other. This

will minimize the chance of the regular au-

dio signal cables picking up noise or inter-

ference 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

Power Input and Control

Power Mains Voltage Switch

NOTE: Do not change the setting of the

Power Mains Voltage Switch.

The RLC-1050 is set at the factory for the power

mains voltage for the country in which it is

sold. There are components inside the

RLC-1050 that are designed to work with

specific mains voltage. So you cannot switch

the RLC-1050 to work with a different power

mains voltage.

Main Power Input

Connect the supplied power cord to the Main

Power Input. Plug the power cord directly into

a wall power outlet. Do not use extension cords

or power strips. The outlet must be capable

of providing 15 amps of current.

Power Switch and Power

Indicator

Push in the power switch to turn on the

RLC-1050. Power is not applied to the Switched

Power Outlets until they are activated by ei-

ther the AC Line In Control Cord or the 12V

Trigger In. See the following sections. When

the Switched Power Outlets are activated the

Power Indicator

is lit.

AC Line In Control Cord

One way to activate the Switched Power

Outlets is to apply power to the AC Line In

Control Cord on the rear panel. This feature

allows you to use a switched outlet on another

component, typically a preamplifier, to turn

on the power to the rest of the system. See

Figure 2. If you do not use this feature, or the

12V Trigger Input, to activate the Switched

Outlets of the RLC-1050, the Control Cord must

be plugged into the Unswitched Outlet

on the RLC-1050 rear panel.

12V Trigger In and

Another way to activate the Switched Outlets

of the RLC-1050 is to apply a turn on volt-

age signal to one of the 12V Trigger In con-

nectors. When a turn on voltage signal is

applied to one of the 12V Trigger In connec-

tors the Switched Outlets of the RLC-1050 are

activated, even if the front panel power but-

ton has not been pressed.

The turn on voltage signal may be AC or DC

and can range from 3 volts to 30 volts. Many

components can provide a turn on voltage trig-

ger signal when they are turned on. Both a

bare wire connector

and a mini-plug type

connector

are provided.

When using the bare wire connector with a

DC trigger signal be sure to maintain proper

polarity. Connect positive to positive and nega-

tive to negative.
