Input Signal Connections
[See Figure 3.]
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither
you nor your speakers will appreciate,
make sure the system is turned off when you
make any signal connections.
Phono/Line Input
-
Ground Connection
The Phono/Line input is set at the factory
to operate as a phono input. If you will not
be using the phono input, this input can be
converted to a standard line level input. See
the "Converting the Phono/Line Input section of
this manual. The following information covers
using the
-
input as a phono input.
Plug the cable from the turntable into the ap-
propriate left and right phono inputs. If the
turntable has a "ground" wire connect it to
the screw terminal
0
to the left of the Phono
inputs. It will help prevent hum and noise.
Line Level Inputs
=
The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-06
are "line level" inputs. These are for connect-
ing components such as CD players, Hi Fi or
NICAM Stereo video cassette recorders, tuners,
Laser Disc players or the analog output from
a CD ROM drive.
The Left and Right channels are labeled and
should be connected to the corresponding
channels of the source component. The Left
connectors are white, the Right connectors
are red. Use high quality RCA cables for
connecting input source components to the
RC-06. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for
advice about cables.

Phono/Line Input Conversion
[See Figure 2 for conversion jumper
locations.]
The Phono/Line input set configured at the
factory for phono input operation. If you do
not use the phono input and need another line
level input, this input can be converted to a
standard line level input.
and
In order to convert the input for line level usage,
0
four "jumper" connectors inside the RC-06 must
be moved from one set of pins to another. This
task should be done by a qualified technician.
See your authorized Rotel dealer.
Resetting Jumpers
Before opening the RC-06 cabinet to re-
set the jumpers, the power cord must be
unplugged from the wall. DO NOT OPEN
THE CABINET OF THE RC-06 BEFORE THE
POWER CORD HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED
FROM THE WALL. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
EXPOSE YOU TO HAZARDOUS VOLT-
AGES.
After the power cord has been unplugged,
remove the screws that hold the cabinet cover
in place and slide the cover off. Locate the
four jumper pin blocks near the Phono/Line
input labeled SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4.
The factory standard (phono) position of the
jumpers is on pins 2 and 3 of each block. To
convert the RC-06 Phono/Line input to a line
type input move all four jumpers so they are
on pins 1 and 2 of each jumper pin block.
Replace the cover of the cabinet. Do not
plug the RC-06 power cord back into
the wall outlet until the cabinet cover
has been replaced.
Recorder Connections
[See Figure 3.]
The Tape inputs and outputs can be connected
to any record/playback device that accepts
standard line level analog input and output
signals. Typically that will be a conventional
tape recorder.
When connecting a recorder to the RC-06
remember that the outputs of the recorder must
be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-06.
Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-06 must
be connected to the inputs of the recorder. As
with other sources be sure to connect the Left
and Right channels of each device to the proper
channels on the associated components. Use
high quality connecting cables to prevent loss
of sound quality.
NOTE: The Tape Outputs are not affected
by the Volume or Balance controls. They
receive a fixed level signal.
Output Connections
[See Figure 3.]
The RC-06 has RCA-type output connectors
that are compatible with the inputs of most
power amplifiers. Use high quality cables and
be sure to connect the Left and Right channel
outputs of the RC-06 to the correct channels
of the amplifier.
There are two sets of outputs on the RC-06. The
second set of outputs may be used in custom
system configurations to drive a second power
amplifier or to supply a signal to a special
signal processor.
NOTE: Changes to the settings of the
Volume and Balance controls affect the
signal from the Preamp Outputs.
