A family whose passionate interest in music
led them to manufacture high fidelity compo-
nents of uncompromising quality founded Rotel
40 years ago. Through the years that passion
has remained undiminished and the family goal
of providing exceptional value for audiophiles
and music lovers regardless of their budget,
is shared by all Rotel employees.
The engineers work as a close team, listen-
ing to, and fine tuning each new product until
it reaches their exacting musical standards.
They are free to choose components from

Placement
Place the RSX-1065 on a solid, level surface
away from sunlight, heat, moisture, or vibra-
tion. Make sure that the shelf can support the
weight of the unit.
Place the RSX-1065 close to the other com-
ponents in your system and, if possible, on its
own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and
subsequent system changes easier.
The RSX-1065 can generate heat during nor-
mal operation. Do not block ventilation open-
ings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches)
of unobstructed space around the unit. If in-
stalled in a cabinet, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation.
Don't stack other components or objects on
top of the RSX-1065. Don't let any liquid fall
into the unit.
