Unpacking
Carefully remove the RC-1070, the remote
control, and accessories from the shipping
carton. Save the shipping carton and all en-
closed packing material for future use. Ship-
ping or moving the unit in anything other than
the original packing material may result in se-
vere damage.
Keep the original sales receipt. It is your best
record of the date of purchase, which you will
need in the event warranty service is ever
required.
Placement
Like all audio components that handle low-level
signals, the RC-1070 can be affected by its
environment. To minimize the chance the
RC-1070 will pick up hum or interference, do
not place it on top of an amplifier or any other
device with a large power transformer. Keep
the RC-1070 away from devices that have mo-
tors for the same reason. Do not place the
RC-1070 where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
We recommend installing the RC-1070 in fur-
niture designed to house audio components.
Such furniture is designed to reduce or sup-
press vibration which can adversely affect
sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer
for advice about component furniture and
proper installation of audio components.
The RC-1070 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 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 remote
sensor on the front panel of the RC-1070.
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 batter-
ies as shown in the illustration in the battery
well. Test the control for proper operation, then
replace the cover. When the batteries become
weak the remote control won’t operate the
RC-1070 consistently. Installing fresh batter-
ies should eliminate the problem.
NOTE
: Remove the batteries from the remote
if it will not be used for a long period of time.
Do not leave run down batteries in the re-
mote control; they can leak corrosive chemi-
cals which will damage the unit.
Remote Control
The RC-1070 includes an RR-AT92 remote con-
trol that operates many of the controls of the
RC-1070. In addition, the remote operates
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 RC-1070 front panel. When a
function is available on both the front panel
and the remote, a number (front panel con-
trols) and a letter (remote buttons) 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 control. When only one identi-
fier appears, that control is available only on
the front panel or the remote, but not both.
CD Functions
The PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, TRACK +/–, RAN-
DOM 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 +/–,
buttons 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-955 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 simultaneously.
To program for the RT-955: press the
POWER button and the 1 button simultaneously.
