Phones Output

The Phones output allows you to connect
headphones for private listening. This output
accommodates standard stereo phone 3.5 mm
(1/8”) plugs. Plugging in a set of headphones
does not cut off the signal to the outputs. The
settings of the Function Selector and the Tape
Monitor Control determines which source is
heard. To listen to or monitor the component
connected to the Tape input set the Monitor
Control to the Tape position. For all other
inputs leave the Monitor Control in the Source
position and select the source you want to
listen to with the front panel Function Selector
or press the corresponding source button on
the remote control.

Media Player
4
A 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo input socket for a
“Media Player” is provided on the front of the
amplifier and is selected by setting the function
control to (AUX2). Any portable stereo cassette,
compact disc player or hard disc playback
device can be connected via this input. If
the device you are connecting has its output
via the headphone socket then note that you
must adjust the volume control on the player
for sound to be heard. Should the sound be
loud and distorted turn down the volume on
the player and if it is only just audible through
the speakers even when the amplifier volume
control is turned up fairly high then adjust the
volume control on the player.

Balance Control

The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right
balance of the sound output. Normally the
control should be left in the center position.
In some situations, typically when the main
listening position is not ideally centered be-
tween the speakers, it may be necessary to
adjust the control to achieve proper left-to-right
balance. Turning the control counter-clockwise
shifts the sound balance to the left. Turning
the control clockwise shifts the sound balance
to the right.

IR Inputs and Outputs
External Remote Input

This 3.5 mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN)
receives command codes from an industry-
standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.)
located in the main listening room. This feature
is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet
and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult
your authorized Rotel dealer for information
on external receivers and the proper wiring of
a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.
