and faithfully recreated. The RA-1060 circuitry
uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or
polypropylene capacitors in important signal
paths. All aspects of this design have been
examined to ensure the most faithful music
reproduction.
In addition the RA-1060 has independent in-
put signal selectors for listening and record-
ing. They allow you to listen to one signal source
while recording another.
The main functions of the RA-1060 are easy
to install and use. If you have experience with
other stereo systems, you shouldn't find any-
thing perplexing. Simply plug in the associ-
ated components and enjoy.

Unpacking

Carefully remove the RA-1060, 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 RA-1060 can be affected by its
environment. Avoid placing the RA-1060 on
top of other components. Also avoid routing
audio signal cables near power cords. This
will minimize the chance it will pick up hum
or interference.
The RA-1060 generates heat as part of its nor-
mal operation. The heat sinks and ventilation
openings in the amplifier are designed to dis-
sipate this heat. The ventilation slots in the top
cover must be open. There should be 10 cm
(4 inches) of clearance around the chassis,
and reasonable airflow through the installa-
tion location, to prevent the amplifier from
overheating.
Remember the weight of the amplifier when
you select an installation location. Make sure
that the shelf or cabinet can support it. We
recommend installing the RA-1060 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 for
advice about component furniture and proper
installation of audio components.
The RA-1060 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 Control

The RA-1060 includes an RR-AT92 remote con-
trol that operates many of the controls of the
RA-1060. 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 RA-1060 front panel. When a
function is available on both the front panel
and the remote, a number (see front panel
illustration) and a letter (see remote control
illustration) 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. When
only one identifier appears, that control is avail-
able 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.

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.
: To use the remote, aim it at the remote
NOTE
sensor on the front panel of the RA-1060.

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
RA-1060 consistently. Installing fresh batteries
should eliminate the problem.
: Remove the batteries from the remote
NOTE
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.
