Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-03 Ste-
reo Control Amplifier. When used in a high-
quality music audio system, it will provide years
of musical enjoyment.
The RC-03 is a full featured, high performance
component. All aspects of the design have been
optimized to retain the full dynamic range and
subtle nuances of your music. The RC-03 has
a highly regulated power supply incorporat-
ing a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power
transformer. This low impedance power sup-
ply has ample power reserves, which enables
the RC-03 to easily reproduce the most de-
manding audio signals. This type of design
is more expensive to manufacture, but it is better
for the music.
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed
with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures
that the precise timing of the music is main-
tained and faithfully recreated. The RC-03 cir-
cuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene
or polypropylene capacitors in important signal
paths. All aspects of this design have been ex-
amined to ensure the most faithful music re-
production.
The main functions of the RC-03 are easy to
install and use. If you have experience with
other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find any-
thing perplexing. Simply plug in the associ-
ated components and enjoy.
The RR-AT92 Remote Control
Some functions can be done with either the
front panel controls, or the supplied RR-AT92
remote control. When these operations are de-
scribed, the call out number for both controls
is shown. For example, you can adjust the
volume with either the front panel Volume con-
trol
or the remote control buttons .
See the “IR Inputs and Output” section for more
information on way to expand the IR control
capabilities of your system.
Note: Remove the batteries from the re-
mote control if it will not be used for a long
period of time. Do not leave run down bat-
teries in the remote control. Exhausted bat-
teries can leak corrosive chemicals which
will damage the unit.
NOTE: The RR-AT92 can be used to oper-
ate the basic function of other certain other
Rotel components, including Tuners, CD
Players and DVD Players.
