Audio Controls; Volume Control; Contour Selector; Listening Selector - Rotel RC-1070 Owner's Manual

Audio Controls

The following controls are used to operate the
RC-1070.

VOLUME Control

Turn the front panel VOLUME control clock-
wise to increase the volume, or counterclock-
wise to decrease the volume. Alternatively, press
the VOL buttons on the remote control to ad-
just the volume up or down

CONTOUR Selector

Instead of conventional tone controls, the
RC-1070 has a front-panel CONTOUR con-
trol which selects one of five available settings.
Each setting provides a fixed frequency con-
tour as follows:
OFF: the tone contour circuits are bypassed
to ensure the purest possible sound.
L-1: moderate increase in bass frequencies
(typically +3dB @ 100Hz).
L-2: more increase in bass frequencies (typi-
cally +4dB @ 100Hz).
H: moderate increase in high frequencies
(+3dB @ 10kHz).
LH: combination of L-2 bass and H high fre-
quency increases.

LISTENING Selector

The setting of the LISTENING selector controls
which of the input signals goes to the main
outputs and onto the power amplifier – or, more
simply, which source is heard. Turn the front
panel control to the source you want to hear,
or press the corresponding button on the
RR-AT92 remote.
: The AUX1 button on the remote dupli-
NOTE
cates the function of the front panel AUX but-
ton.

RECORDING Selector

The RC-1070 can record from any input source
(except TAPE 2) to a recorder connected to
TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 outputs. To select an input
source for recording, turn the RECORDING
control on the front-panel to the desired source.
This selection is independent of the source
selected for listening. While recording, you
may still select a different source using the
LISTENING selector.
If you have a three-head recorder or a DAT
recorder that allows simultaneous read and
write operation, you can monitor your recording
by setting the LISTENING switch to the TAPE
1 or TAPE 2 position.
: If you select TAPE 1 with the RECORD-
NOTE
ING control, the recording signal will only
be available at the TAPE 2 recording outputs,
not the TAPE 1 outputs. To dub a tape, select
TAPE 1 and record to the tape deck connected
to the TAPE 2 outputs.

MUTE Button

To temporarily mute the sound of the system
press the MUTE button on the RR-AT92 remote.
Press the button again to return the sound
volume to the original level. The LED in the
volume control will flash when the unit is muted.

PHONES Output

The PHONES output allows you to connect
headphones for private listening. This output
accepts standard stereo phone (1/4") plugs.
If your headphones have another type of plug,
such as a 1/8" mini-plug, you will need an
adapter plug. Contact your authorized Rotel
dealer, to get the correct adapter plug.
: Plugging in headphones does not cut
NOTE
off the signal to the outputs. In most instances,
you should turn off the power amplifier when
listening to headphones.
