Remember the weight of the amplifier when
you select an installation location. Make sure
that the shelf or cabinet can support it. We
recommend installing the RA-1062 in furni-
ture 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.
The RA-1062 is supplied with an RR-AT92
remote 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 RA-1062 includes an RR-AT92 remote
control that operates many of the controls of
the RA-1062. In addition, the remote oper-
ates basic features of some Rotel CD players,
DVD players, and AM/FM tuners.
Audio Controls
The RR-AT92 duplicates the basic audio func-
tions of the RA-1062 front panel. When a
function is available on both the front panel
and the remote, a number (see front panel
illustration) and a letter (see remote control
illustration) are shown in the instructions. For
example, to change the volume level, you can
either turn the control on the front panel or
use the buttons on the remote. When only one
identifier appears, that control is available only
on the front panel or the remote, but not both.
CD Functions
The PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, TRACK and ,
RANDOM buttons, and NUMERIC keys (0-10)
operate many Rotel CD players after the CD
button on the remote has been pressed.
DVD Functions
The PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, and TRACK ±, but-
tons operate Rotel DVD players, after the AUX1
button on the remote has been pressed.
Tuner Functions
The BAND, TUNING, and additional tuning
feature buttons operate Rotel tuners, after the
TUNER button on the remote has been pressed.
By default, the RR-AT92 operates the Rotel
RT-1080 tuner. Alternatively, the remote can
be reprogrammed to operate the RT-940AX
tuner. This programming only needs to be done
once:
To program for the RT-940AX:
press
the POWER button and the 2 button simulta-
neously.
To program for the RT-1080:
press the
POWER button and the 1 button simulta-
neously.
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 it is exposed to bright sunlight
or certain types of lighting (such as halogen
lights) that emit infrared light. In addition re-
mote control functions may not work reliably
if the batteries in the RR-AT92 are weak.
NOTE: To use the remote, aim it at the re-
mote sensor on the front panel of the
RA-1062.
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 bat-
teries as shown in the illustration in the bat-
tery well. Test the control for proper opera-
tion, then replace the cover. When the bat-
teries become weak the remote control won’t
operate the RA-1062 consistently. Installing
fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.
NOTE: Remove the batteries from the re-
mote if it will not be used for a long period
of time. Do not leave run down batteries in
the remote control; they can leak corrosive
chemicals which will damage the unit.
Speaker Outputs
See Figure 3
The RA-1062 has two sets of speaker outputs,
labeled SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B. The
speaker outputs are controlled by the switch
on the front panel.
Speaker Impedance
If only one set of speakers will be used at any
given time, the speakers may have an imped-
ance as low as 4 ohms. If there are times when
both the A and B speakers will be used, all
the speakers should have an impedance of 8
ohms or more. Speaker impedance ratings are
less than precise. In practice, very few loud-
speakers will present any problems for the RA-
1062. See your authorized Rotel dealer if you
have any questions.
Speaker Wire
Use insulated two-conductor stranded wire to
connect the RA-1062 to the speakers. The size
and quality of the wire can have an audible
effect on the performance of the system. Stan-
dard speaker wire will work, but can result
in lower output or diminished bass response,
particularly over longer distances. In general,
heavier wire will improve the sound. For best
performance, you may want to consider special
high-quality speaker cables. Your authorized
Rotel dealer can help in the selection of cables
for your system.
Polarity and Phasing
The polarity – the positive/negative orienta-
tion of the connections – for every speaker and
amplifier connection must be consistent so all
the speakers will be in phase. If the polarity
of one connection is reversed, bass output will
be very weak and stereo imaging degraded.
All wire is marked so you can identify the two
conductors. There may be ribs or a stripe on
the insulation of one conductor. The wire may
have clear insulation with different color con-
ductors (copper and silver). There may be
polarity indications printed on the insulation.
Identify the positive and negative conductors
and be consistent with every speaker and
amplifier connection.
