Unpacking

Carefully remove the RT-1080, the remote

control, and accessories from the shipping

carton. Save the shipping carton and all en-

closed packing material for future use. Ship-

ping or moving the unit in anything other than

the original packing material may result in se-

vere damage.

Keep the original sales receipt. It is your best

record of the date of purchase, in the event

warranty service is ever required.

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low-level

signals, the RT-1080 can be affected by its

environment. Avoid placing the RT-1080 on

top of other components.

The RT-1080 generates some heat as part of

its normal operation. There should be 10 cm

(4 inches) of clearance around the chassis,

and reasonable airflow through the installa-

tion location, to prevent overheating.

Place the unit on a solid shelf. We recommend

installing the RT-1080 in furniture designed to

house audio components. Such furniture is de-

signed to reduce or suppress vibration which

can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your

authorized Rotel dealer about component fur-

niture and proper installation.

The RT-1080 is supplied with an RR-T92 re-

mote control and must be placed where the

infrared signal from the remote can reach the

front panel Remote Sensor.

Cables

Keep power cords, digital cables, and audio

cables away from each other. This will mini-

mize the chance of the audio signal cables

picking up noise or interference from the power

cords or digital cables. Using high quality,

shielded cables will also help to prevent noise

or interference. If you have any questions see

your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about

the best cable to use with your system.

Remote Control

The RT-1080 includes an RR-T92 remote con-

trol that operates many of the features of the

RT-1080.

Remote Sensor

The remote sensor receives infrared signals

from the remote control. Do not cover or block

the sensor. It must be unobstructed or the re-

mote control will not work properly.

The operation of the remote sensor can also

be affected if exposed to bright sunlight or

certain types of lighting (such as halogen lights)

that emit infrared light. In addition remote con-

trol functions may not work reliably if the bat-

teries in the RR-AT92 are weak.

NOTE

: To use the remote, aim it at the remote

sensor on the front panel of the RT-1080.

Remote Control Batteries

Two UM-4/AAA size batteries (supplied) must

be installed before the remote control can be

used. To install the batteries, remove the cover

on the back of the RR-AT92. Install the batter-

ies as shown in the illustration in the battery

well. Test the control for proper operation, then

replace the cover. When the batteries become

weak the remote control won’t operate the

RT-1080 consistently. Installing fresh batteries

should eliminate the problem.

NOTE

: Remove the batteries from the remote

if it will not be used for a long period of time.

Do not leave run down batteries in the re-

mote control; they can leak corrosive chemi-

cals which will damage the unit.

Rear Panel Connections

The RT-1080 provides rear panel connections

for audio line level output, two FM antennas,

an AM antenna, computer interface, a remote

IR connection, 12V trigger connections for re-

mote turn-on and AC power input.

NOTE

: Do not plug any system component into

an AC source until system hookup is com-

plete and you are sure that all connections

have been properly made.

RCA Outputs

A pair of line level RCA audio outputs sends

a fixed-level stereo signal from the RT-1080

to your preamplifier, surround processor, or

integrated amplifier. Use a standard RCA au-

dio cable to connect the

left

output jack to the

left

channel tuner input on your system con-

troller and the

right

output jack to the

right

chan-

nel tuner input on your system controller.

AM Loop Antenna

The RT-1080 includes a loop antenna to re-

ceive AM radio signals. Remove this antenna

from the box and locate it near the RT-1080.

Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from

the loop antenna to the pair of screw termi-

nals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire

to each terminal. It does not matter which wire

attaches to which terminal, but make sure that

the connections are solid and that the two wires

do not touch.
