Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and
operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various T14
system configurations as well as general information that will help you get
the optimum performance from your system. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all
of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the T14 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future
use. Shipping or moving the T14 in anything other than the original packing
material may result in severe damage to your unit and void the warranty.
If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner`s registration
card. Also be sure to 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

Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture,
or vibration.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input
a
Your unit is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the
country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60 Hz, Europe: 230
volts/50 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a label on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your unit to another country, it may be possible
to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to
perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit
exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are included with more than one AC cord. Please use only
the one appropriate for your country/region.
The T14 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized (where possible)
wall outlet or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio
system. Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure the POWER SWITCH
(in the "out" position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the Power
a
Connector on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.
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 the T14 (as
well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch and Power Indicator
The power switch is located on the left side of the front panel. To turn the
unit ON, push the switch in. The power LED above the power switch will
illuminate blue when the unit is powered on and red when in standby mode.
To turn the unit off, push the button again and return it to the "out" position.
When the power switch is in the ON position, the remote control ON and
OFF buttons may be used to activate the T14. In Standby mode the
A
power LED is red, but the display is turned OFF.

12V Trigger Input and Output

See figure 4
The jack labeled IN is for connecting the 3.5mm Plug/Cable carrying a +12
volt trigger signal from a preamp or surround sound processor to turn the
unit on and off. This input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging
from 3 volts to 30 volts.
The jack labeled OUT is for connecting another 3.5mm plug/cable to
provide a 12V trigger signal to other components. Any 12V Trigger signal
at the INPUT jack will be passed through to the OUT jack.
NOTE: If you are using other units in the series with Rotel Link, please
use the Rotel Link connection to turn the units on or off. Do not connect
both the Rotel Link and 12V trigger cables. The 12V trigger's power
on or off features will override the Rotel Link features.

Connection Overview

See figure 3.
Before continuing further to other sections in the manual, please make sure
all the cable connections are made properly.

Wi-Fi Antenna t

Please use the supplied Wi-Fi antennas to connect to the Wi-Fi connectors
t on the rear panel. This allows the T14 to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
To configure the Wi-Fi settings please see the Play-Fi section.

DAB/FM Broadcasting y

Please use the supplied indoor antennas to connect the DAB and FM connector
on the rear panel. To receive the best FM signal, make sure there is enough
room for the T-shaped indoor antenna to fully extend. Eyelets at both ends
of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall if desired. Experiment with
different positions to maximize reception.
NOTE: For improved reception performance, consider using an external
antenna for FM and DAB.

Output u

A pair of standard RCA jacks supply an analog output signal from the T14 to
the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left and right
channel outputs of the T14 to the corresponding inputs on the preamplifier
or other component.

COAXIAL Output i

If you are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you
will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the T14. Using a standard
75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the T14's coaxial output to the digital
input connector on the outboard D/A converter.

USB Connection p

This connection is used for service and can also be used to attach a USB-
ETHERNET (optional) adapter for hardwired connection to the network. For
more information please contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
