12 Volt Trigger Outlet [
Some audio components can be turned on
automatically when they receive a 12V turn
on “signal”. The 12V Trigger Outputs of the
RA-02 provide the required signal. Connect
compatible components to the RA-02 with a
conventional 3.5mm miniplug cable. When the
RA-02 is in Standby mode, the trigger signal
is interupted, so the components controlled by
it are turned off.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result
of incorrect 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 RA-02 refer to the suggestions
for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Power Indicator should be lit whenever the
RA-02 is plugged into the wall power outlet
and the Power Switch is pushed in. If it does
not light, test the power outlet with another
electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the
power outlet being used is not controlled by
a switch that has been turned off.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged
into the power outlet, but the Power Indicator
of the RA-02 does not light when plugged into
the same outlet and the Power Switch is pushed
in, it indicates that the internal power fuse may
have blown. If you believe this has happened,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer to get the
fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is function-
ing properly. Make sure the cables from the
signal source to the RA-02 inputs are connected
properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set
to the proper input. Check the wiring between
the RA-02 and the speakers.
