Headphone Output; Media Player 3; Audio Controls; Volume Control 8 - Rotel A10 Manual De Instrucciones

English

Headphone Output =

The headphone output allows you to connect headphones for private listening.
This output accepts a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") mini stereo headphone
connector. Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to
the outputs. Use the Speaker Selector to turn off the speakers. The settings
of the Function Selector and the Tape Monitor Control determines which
source is heard. To listen to or monitor the component connected to the Tape
input set the Monitor Control to the Tape position. For all other inputs leave
the Monitor Control in the Source position and select the source you want
to listen to with the front panel Function Selector.
NOTE: Because the sensitivity of speakers and headphones can
vary widely, always reduce the volume level before connecting or
disconnecting headphones.

Media Player 3

A 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo input socket for a "Media Player" is provided on
the front of the amplifier and is selected by setting the function control to
(AUX2). Any portable stereo cassette, compact disc player or hard disc
playback device can be connected via this input. If the device you are
connecting has its output via the headphone socket then note that you must
adjust the volume control on the player for sound to be heard. Should the
sound be loud and distorted turn down the volume on the player and if it
is only just audible through the speakers even when the amplifier volume
control is turned up fairly high then adjust the volume control on the player.
NOTE: When the 3.5mm (mini jack) is inserted into the Media Player
socket the rear input called AUX2 is disconnected. Removing the
3.5mm plug from the Media player socket will allow the rear AUX2
input to function.

Audio Controls

Volume Control 8

Turn the controls clockwise to increase the volume, or counter clockwise to
decrease the volume.

Balance Control 9

The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right balance of the sound output.
Normally the control should be left in the center position. In some situations,
typically when the main listening position is not ideally centered between
the speakers, it may be necessary to adjust the control to achieve proper
left-to-right balance. Turning the control counter-clockwise shifts the sound
balance to the left. Turning the control clockwise shifts the sound balance
to the right.

Tone On/Off Switch 7

When the Tone Switch is in the Off position the Bass and Treble Control
(Tone Control) circuits are bypassed to ensure the purest possible sound.
Leave the Tone Switch in the Off position unless you want to use the Tone
Controls. Turn the Tone Switch to the On position if you want to adjust the
Tone Controls.

Bass and Treble Controls 5 6

When the Tone Switch is in the On position, turning the Bass and Treble
Controls adjusts the tone balance of the sound. Turn the Controls clockwise
to increase the bass or treble output. Turn the Controls counterclockwise to
decrease the bass or treble output.
A properly setup high-performance audio system produces the most natural
sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these controls
sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up (clockwise).
This increases the power output in the bass or treble range, increasing the
load on the amplifier and speakers.

Function Control -

The Function control selects the input signal source. The signal selected by
the Function control is the one you hear, as long as the Monitor control is
set to the Source position. (See the following section.) The signal selected
by the Function control also goes to Preamp Outputs and the Tape Outputs.
Turn the front panel Listening Selector to the source you want to listen to.

Monitor Control 0

When the Monitor Control is set to the Source position, the signal you hear,
and which goes to the Preamp Outputs, is selected by the Function Control.
To listen to the signal from a recorder connected to the Tape Inputs, set the
Monitor Control to the Tape position. When the Monitor Control is in the Tape
position, the signal from the Tape Input also goes to the Preamp Outputs.
The signal that goes to the Tape Output is always selected by the Function
Control. When you are recording with a unit that has monitoring capabilities,
you can listen to the sound just recorded by setting the Monitor Control to
.
the Tape position

Protection Circuit

The unit has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that protects
the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty operating
conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio signal
and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection circuits
monitor the temperature of the output devices and shut down the amplifier
if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However,
should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing and the
POWER indicator 2 on the front panel will turn red.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off. Let it cool down for several minutes,
and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection
circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection
circuit will automatically reset and the POWER indicator
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition
such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an
overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low
impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate
and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for
assistance in troubleshooting.
