RC-1090 Stereo Control Amplifier The RC-1090 has both XLR (balanced) and RCA cable main output and CD input connections. The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces. This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and faithfully recreated. The RC-1090 circuitry uses metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this design have been examined with the final goal being faithful reproduction of music.
English 9 NOTE: Should you move your RC-1090 amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the RC-1090 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.
RC-1090 Stereo Control Amplifier Recorder Connections The Tape 1 and Tape 2 inputs and outputs can be connected to any record/playback device that accepts standard line level analog input and output signals. Typically that will be a conventional tape recorder. When connecting a recorder to the RC-1090, remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-1090. Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-1090 must be connected to the inputs of the recorder.
English 11 Audio Controls Volume Controls and The front panel Volume control increases or decreases the volume in both channels at the same time. Turn it clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease the volume. On the RR-969 remote Volume , press the ▲ to increase volume Button or ▼ to decrease volume.
