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.

The Phono/Line input is set at the factory

be using the phono input, this input can be
converted to a standard line level input. See

Line Level Inputs

The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-06
are “line level” inputs. These are for connect-
ing components such as CD players, Hi Fi or
NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners,
Laser Disc players or the analog output from
a CD ROM drive.

The Left and Right channels are labeled and
should be connected to the corresponding
channels of the source component. The Left
connectors are white, the Right connectors
are red. Use high quality RCA cables for
connecting input source components to the

In order to convert the input for line level usage,
four “jumper” connectors inside the RC-06 must
be moved from one set of pins to another. This
task should be done by a qualified technician.

Resetting Jumpers
Before opening the RC-06 cabinet to re-
set the jumpers, the power cord must be
unplugged from the wall. DO NOT OPEN
THE CABINET OF THE RC-06 BEFORE THE
POWER CORD HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED
FROM THE WALL. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
EXPOSE YOU TO HAZARDOUS VOLT-
AGES.

FROM THE WALL. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
EXPOSE YOU TO HAZARDOUS VOLT-
AGES.
After the power cord has been unplugged,
remove the screws that hold the cabinet cover
in place and slide the cover off. Locate the
four jumper pin blocks near the Phono/Line
input labeled SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4.
The factory standard (phono) position of the
jumpers is on pins 2 and 3 of each block. To
convert the RC-06 Phono/Line input to a line
type input move all four jumpers so they are
on pins 1 and 2 of each jumper pin block.

plug the RC-06 power cord back into
the wall outlet until the cabinet cover
has been replaced.
Recorder Connections

[See Figure 3.]
The Tape inputs and outputs can be connected
to any record/playback device that accepts
standard line level analog input and output
signals. Typically that will be a conventional
tape recorder.

When connecting a recorder to the RC-06
remember that the outputs of the recorder must
be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-06.
Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-06 must
be connected 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.

The RC-06 has RCA-type output connectors
that are compatible with the inputs of most
power amplifiers. Use high quality cables and

There are two sets of outputs on the RC-06. The
second 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.
