Rotel Link t

See Figure 5
The ROTEL LINK OUT connection can be made with the stereo 3.5 mm cable
(supplied) to a Rotel product with ROTEL LINK IN connection including a
CD player. While the ROTEL LINK IN can optionally attach to Rotel network
enabled products with ROTEL LINK OUT connections.
These allow the attached Rotel products to communicate with each other and
be controlled via the Rotel App (available for download on the iTunes® store).
NOTE: Only the Rotel Link cables supplied with this product should be
used. These 3.5 mm cables have WHITE connector ends and should
not be confused with the 12 Volt Trigger cables that have BLACK
connector ends.

your authorized Rotel dealer for information on these external repeaters and
the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.
