ROTEL LINK

q
[See Figure
3
.]
This amplifier is capable of linking with other Rotel Link enabled
products in the series. Connect the 3.5mm cable from the ROTEL
Link Output of the Digital Gateway RT-12. This allows the unit to be
controlled through the IP remote developed by ROTEL.

12V Trigger Outlet

[See Figure
3
.]
Some audio components can be turned on automatically when they
receive a 12V turn on "signal". The two12V Trigger Outputs of the RA-
11/RA-12 provide the required signal. Connect compatible components
to the amplifier with a conventional 3.5mm mini plug cable. When the
unit is turned off, the trigger signal is interrupted, and the components
controlled by it are turned off.
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.
Rear USB
Upgrade=
The rear mini USB socket labeled UPGRADE is for updating the
internal firmware when necessary and should be handled by a
certified technician.

Protection Indicator

The amplifier has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that
protects the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty
operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the
audio signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the
protection circuits monitor the temperature of the output devices and
shut down the amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However,
should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing and the
LED indicator on the front panel will light up.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off. Let it cool down for several minutes,
and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection
circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection
circuit will automatically reset and the indicator LED should go out.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition
such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an
overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low
impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate
and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for
assistance in troubleshooting.
