RC-1070 Stereo Control Amplifier

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-AT94. 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 RC-1070 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.

Signal Connections

The RC-1070 has inputs for line level and
phono source components, connections for
audio tape decks, and output connections to
send signals to power amplifiers.
: To prevent loud, potentially damaging,
NOTE
noises, make sure the system is turned off when
you make any signal connections.

Outputs

See Figure 3
The RC-1070 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-1070 to the correct chan-
nels of the amplifier.
There are two sets of variable gain outputs on
the RC-1070. 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 signal processor.

Line Level Inputs

See Figure 4
The RC-1070 has three pair of conventional
RCA input connectors for line level compo-
nents such as CD players, video cassette re-
corders, tuners, Laser Disc players, or DVD
players. These inputs are labeled CD, TUN-
ER, and AUX.
The Left and Right channels are clearly la-
beled and should be connected to the corre-
sponding channels of the source component.
The Left RCA connectors are white, the Right
connectors are red. Use high quality RCA ca-
bles for connecting input source components
to the RC-1070. Ask your authorized Rotel
dealer for advice about cables.

Recorder Connections

See Figure 4
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. There are two sets of tape con-
nections on the back panel, labelled TAPE
1 and TAPE 2.
When connecting a recorder to the RC-1070,
the outputs of the recorder must be con-
nected to the tape inputs of the RC-1070.
Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-1070
must be connected to the inputs of the re-
corder. Be sure to connect the Left and Right
channels of each device to the proper chan-
nels on the associated components. Use high
quality connecting cables to prevent loss of
sound quality.
: The tape inputs can also be used for
NOTE
standard playback-only source components,
omitting the output connections.

Phono Inputs

Ground Terminal

The RC-1070 has a built-in phono preampli-
fier. To connect a turntable, connect the Left
and Right RCA signal cables to the Left and
Right RCA inputs labeled PHONO. Be sure
to connect the Left and Right channels to the
proper channels. Attach the ground wire from
the turntable to the Ground screw-terminal
on the back panel.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

The RC-1070 does not use a significant
amount of power. However there are two
auxiliary power outlets on the back panel,
which can be used to supply power for oth-
er units. Consequently, it is best to plug the
RC-1070 directly into a 2-pin polarized wall
outlet. Avoid the use of extension cords. A
heavy duty power outlet strip may be used
if it (and the wall outlet) is rated to handle
the current demanded by the components
connected to it.
Your RC-1070 is configured at the factory for
the proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back
panel. Plug the supplied cord into the AC IN-
PUT receptacle on the back of the unit.
: Should you move your RC-1070 am-
NOTE
plifier to another country, it is possible to re-
configure your amplifier for use on a different
line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this
conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure
of the RC-1070 exposes you to dangerous
voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for
information.
If you are going to be away from home for
an extended period of time such as a month-
long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to
unplug your audio and video components
while you are away.
POWER/STANDBY Switch
Power Indicator
The Power Indicator light above the STANDBY
button is always illuminated when the RC-1070
is connected to a live AC outlet. When the
front panel STANDBY button or remote con-
trol POWER button is pressed, the RC-1070 is
turned on. The LISTENING control indicator
lights and VOLUME CONTROL indicator light
will illuminate. Pressing either button again
will put the RC-1070 in standby mode and
these indicator lights are turned off.
