Unpacking

Carefully remove the RT-1080, 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
severe damage.
Keep the original sales receipt. It is your best
record of the date of purchase, in the event
warranty service is ever required.

Placement

Like all audio components that handle low-
level signals, the RT-1080 can be affected by
its environment. Avoid placing the RT-1080
on top of other components.
The RT-1080 generates some heat as part of
its normal operation. There should be 10 cm
(4 inches) of clearance around the chassis,
and reasonable airflow through the installa-
tion location, to prevent overheating.
Place the unit on a solid shelf. We recommend
installing the RT-1080 in furniture designed
to house audio components. Such furniture
is designed to reduce or suppress vibration
which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask
your authorized Rotel dealer about compo-
nent furniture and proper installation.
The RT-1080 is supplied with an RR-T93 re-
mote 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 pre-
vent 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 Control

The RT-1080 includes an RR-T93 remote
control that operates many of the features
of the RT-1080.

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 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-AT93 are weak.
: To use the remote, aim it at the remote
NOTE
sensor on the front panel of the RT-1080.

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-AT93. Install
the batteries 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 con-
trol won't operate the RT-1080 consistently.
Installing fresh batteries should eliminate
the problem.
: Remove the batteries from the remote if
NOTE
it will not be used for a long period of time.
Do not leave run down batteries in the remote
control; they can leak corrosive chemicals
which will damage the unit.
