tor Phono button together with the Recording
Selector Off button. This will return all displays
to their original settings.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the re-
sult of incorrect connections, or improper
control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the con-
trol settings, determine the cause of the fault
and make the necessary changes. If you are
unable to get sound from the RC-1090, refer
to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Standby Power Indicator Is
Not Lit
The Standby Power Indicator should be lit
whenever the RC-1090 is plugged into the wall
power outlet. 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, and the Standby Indi-
cator still will not light when the RC-1090 is
plugged into the wall outlet, 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 re-
placed.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning
properly. Make sure the cables from the sig-
nal source to the RC-1090 inputs are connected
properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set
to the proper input. Check the power ampli-
fier for power and proper operation. Check
all the wiring between the RC-1090 and the
power amplifier, and the power amplifier and
speakers.
