User manual ROTEL RB-06

[. . . ] Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time. [. . . ] The heat sinks and ventilation openings in the amplifier are designed to dissipate this heat. There should be 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance around the chassis, and reasonable airflow through the installation location, to prevent the amplifier from overheating. Remember the weight of the amplifier when you select an installation location. we recommend installing the RB-06 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components. A heavy duty multi-tap power outlet strip may be used, but only if it is rated to handle the current demand of the RB-06. Be sure the Power Switch on the front panel of the RB-06 is turned off. Then, plug one end of the cord into the AC power connector 0 on the back panel of the amplifier. Your RB-06 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60 Hz , Europe: 120 volts/60 Hz). NOTE: Should you move your RB-06 to another country, it is possible to configure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. Consult a qualified technician or the Rotel factory service department for information. If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your amplifier. With the switch in the 12V TRIGGER ON position, the amplifier is turned on automatically when a 12V trigger signal is present at the 3. The amplifier will go into standby mode if the 12V signal is not present. Turning the switch OFF cuts power to the amplifier, regardless of whether or not a trigger signal is present. This input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. 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 picking 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. To turn the amplifier on (or to activate either of the optional automatic power-on modes), push the switch in. [. . . ] If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for assistance in troubleshooting. Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of poor or wrong connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the RB-06, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions: If everything checks out correctly and you still cannot get the amplifier to turn on, the internal power fuse may have blown.
