About Rotel

Our story began over 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have received
hundreds of awards for our products and satisfied hundreds of thousands
3
3
of people who take their entertainment seriously - like you!
4
5
Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led
them to manufacture high-fidelity components of uncompromising quality.
5
Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished and the family
6
goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers,
regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.
Rotel's engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning, each
8
new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are
8
free to choose components from around the world in order to make that
8
product the best they can. You are likely to find capacitors from the United
Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the United States,
8
while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel's own factory.
8
We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more
9
electronics are produced and later discarded, it is especially important for
9
a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum
negative impact on landfill sites and water tables.
9
9
At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content
9
in our electronics by using special ROHS solder, while our new Class D
(not digital) amplifiers are up to five times more efficient than our legacy
designs and still deliver power and performance. These products run
cool, give minimum wasted energy, are good for the environment and
give better sound too.
10
10
Finally, we have printed this manual on recycled paper stock.
10
10
While we understand that these are small first steps, they are still important
10
ones. And we continue to pursue new methods and materials for a cleaner
and greener manufacturing process. All of us at Rotel thank you for buying
this product. We are sure it will bring you many years of enjoyment.

A Word About Watts

10
10
This amplifier's power output is quoted as 120 watts for each channel,
11
when both channels are operating together at full power. Rotel has chosen
11
to specify the power output in this way because, in Rotel's experience,
11
it gives the truest value of the receiver or amplifier's power capability.
When comparing specifications for different products, you should be
aware that power output is often specified in other ways, so you may
not be comparing like with like. For example, the power output may be
quoted with only one channel operating, giving a higher maximum figure.
A loudspeaker's impedance rating indicates the electrical resistance or
12
load it offers when connected to the amplifier, usually 8 ohms or 4 ohms.
12
The lower the impedance, the more power the speaker will need. In effect,
12
a 4 ohm speaker will require twice as much power as an 8 ohm speaker.
However, Rotel amplifiers are designed to work into any speaker
impedance between 8 and 4 ohms, and with all the channels working
up to their full power. Because Rotel designs are optimized for use with
all channels operating together, Rotel is able to specify the true power
output for both channels.
