Note:
By default, the RR-AT97 operates the Rotel RT-1080/RT-1082/
RT-1084 tuners. The remote can be reprogrammed to operate the RT-
940AX tuner. This programming only needs to be done once:
To program for the RT-940AX:
press the ON button and the 2
button simultaneously.
To program for the RT-1080/RT-1082/RT-1084:
press the ON
button and the 1 button simultaneously.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect
connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine
the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are
unable to get sound from the RC-1580, refer to the suggestions for the
following conditions:
Standby Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Standby Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RC-1580 is
plugged into the wall power outlet. If it does not light, test the power
outlet with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the
power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch that has been
turned off.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet,
and the Standby Indicator still will not light when the RC-1580 is
plugged into the wall outlet, it indicates that the internal power fuse
may have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your
authorized Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure
the cables from the signal source to the RC-1580 inputs are connected
properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set to the proper input. Check
the power amplifier for power and proper operation. Check all the
wiring between the RC-1580 and the power amplifier, and the power
amplifier and speakers.
Resetting the IR Code
If you reset the RC-1580 IR code to use the Bypass function, you can
reset it to the default code using the procedure described in the Note
in the Bypass Function section of this manual. Or you can use the
front panel buttons. While RC-1580 is turned on, press and hold the
Recording Off button
9
for 5 seconds. The LED for the Listening CD
button
8
will turn On to indicate the IR code is reset. If the Bypass
LED is lit it will turn Off.
