Listening Selector Buttons
and Display
Press one of the Listening Selector Buttons
to select the input signals that goes to the
main outputs and to the power amplifier –
or, more simply, which source is heard. The
source selected is shown in the front panel
FL Display
.
Recording Selector Buttons
and Display
Press one of the Recording Selector Buttons
to select the input signal that goes to the record
outputs. The source selected is shown in the front
panel FL Display
. When you are not re-
cording, press the Off button. This minimizes
the chance of interference from other compo-

Having a separate Recording and Listening
selector adds a significant degree of flexibil-
ity in how you can use the RC-1090. For ex-
ample by selecting CD with the Record Se-
lector and selecting Tuner with the Listening
Selector you can record a CD onto a tape while
listening to the tuner.
If you wish to duplicate (“dub”) a recording
from one recorder to another, the source unit
must be connected to Tape 1 in/outputs. Press
the Tape 1 Recording Selector button. Con-
nect the unit recording the signal to the Tape
2 in/outputs.
Phones Output
The Phones output allows you to connect head-
phones for private listening. This output ac-
commodates standard stereo phone (
1
/4”)
plugs. If your headphones have another type
of plug, such as a
1
/8” mini-plug, you will
need an adapter plug. Contact your autho-
rized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter
plug. Note: Plugging in a set of headphones
does not cut off the signal to the outputs. The
power amplifier will continue to receive a signal
and the speakers will continue to play.
Remote Sensor
The Remote Sensor is located to the right of
the Phones jack on the front panel. It picks
up the infra-red signals from the remote control.
Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be
clear of obstructions or the remote control will
not work properly. The operation of the Re-
mote Sensor can also be affected if it is ex-
posed to bright light, particularly sun light.
In addition remote control functions may not
work reliably if the batteries in the RR-969
are weak.

Customizing FL Display
You can program the RC-1090 to display
custom names, up to 5 characters long, in the
Listening and Recording Selection Displays.
For example, if the Aux 1 input was connected
to a Digital Satelite Dish, you could program
it to RC-1090 to display “DSS” when the Aux
1 input is selected.
Example:
1 Select Aux 1 as the listening input so AUX
1 appears in the display. Press and hold
the Display
button until the characters
in the display change to blinking solid
blocks.
2 Use the RR-969 / buttons
to scroll
through the character set. (See page 3 of
the RR-969 manual for a listing of the char-
acter set.) When the character you want
is displayed, press Enter
to confirm it
and go to the next character.
3 Repeat the previous step to select the re-
maining characters. After the last charac-
ter is selected and confirmed the new name
is saved automatically.
Once the Listening input display is custom-
ized, the new name also appears when that
input is selected as the Recording input. (The
exception is the Tape 2 input since it cannot
be selected as the recording source.)
When an input that has a customized name
is selected, the original input name is displayed
for 2 seconds, before the customized name
is displayed.
