Rotel Support
We are here to help you with any questions you might have about your Rotel products and devices, or we can offer insight into the world of sound and sound quality.
You will need a USB to Serial Port Adapter. There are many different adapters on the market today that plug into a USB port on the computer and will function as a serial port for connecting to a Rotel component for updating.
It is important when selecting an adapter to make sure you install the latest available drivers for the adapter to ensure that the upgrades go smoothly. This is particularly important when using the adapters on newer operating systems such as Windows 8. We recommend ideally checking the website of the manufacturer for the latest drivers before connecting and installing the adapter.
One of the features of many Rotel products is the ability to switch between two completely different sets of IR codes. The purpose of these alternative IR code sets is to allow systems to utilize more than one Rotel device in the same area (for example large multiroom systems that may have centrally located equipment) without conflicting IR codes causing problems. However, on occasion it is possible to accidentally set the Rotel device to this code set which results in the unit no longer responding to the original remote.
To restore the unit to its original IR code set, simply do the following:
Repeat the above procedure and press “2” key instead of “1” to change the unit to the alternative remote code set.
Check the VIDEO/HDMI menu on the on screen Setup Menu and make sure the unit is set to AMP MODE. If the unit has been set to TV MODE, this setting will Mute all audio output from the receiver and instead routes the sound out the HDMI output to be played through your TV speakers.
If this is a separates system with a Rotel processor and power amplifier, also make sure the 12V trigger switch on the Rotel amplifier is in the OFF position and verify all cables/connections between the processor and amplifier are correct.
Signal Sense is a feature available on several Rotel models and is configured via either the On-Screen Display (where applicable) or front display Setup Menu.

The Auto Power Off feature will power off the device if there is no changes made to the volume, source or input within the selected time period.
Which output should be used will matter mostly on the quality of the DACs (Digital-to-Analog-Converters) and the analog signal path in the preamplifier or processor that the Rotel CD player is being connected to. Rotel CD players utilize high quality Burr-Brown or Wolfson DACs coupled with a minimalist circuit design for the analog stage, carefully selecting quality capacitors and rectifiers and providing a solid power supply to provide the best sound quality possible from our CD players, and in many cases the DACs in the CD player will clearly exceed the sound quality of the onboard DACs from many processors. In these cases, the analog outputs of the CD player would be the best logical choice. However, in some cases you may find in a high quality processor or outboard DAC that the DACs used may sound better than the CD players internal DACs, which would mean using the coaxial digital output.
If possible, connect both to your system and compare the two outputs to determine which sounds best in your system.
The debate rages on. Toslink fans claim said cable is more accurate because it relies on light transmission, which has less resistance and is usually more affordable. Coax supporters argue their cable is better protected with its thicker jacket and offers a tighter connection. Interestingly, high quality RCA video interconnects have been substituted for digital coaxial with similar results since video interconnects fit the same specifications used for digital audio. However, do not use a standard RCA audio cable in place of a digital coaxial cable. In the end, your ears are the final judge over which way to go.
To gain the full benefits of DVD-Audio media, the analog connections of the DVD player must be used, and when connecting to a Rotel Surround Processor or Receiver it is recommended that the analog outputs be connected to the 6 Channel Multi Input, as this input is a pure analog input that will not digitally process the high resolution DVD-Audio signal. These players will also internally decode Dolby Digital, dts and PCM (Stereo) digital audio signals as well for DVD and CD playback and as such the analog connection is the only required connection for playback of all formats. A digital cable can also be connected to the processor or receiver for convenience purposes to allow Dolby Digital and dts processing to be handled in the processor without requiring the manual selection of the Multi Input for DVD Video playback.
A digital cable should be connected to the surround processor or receiver to allow Dolby Digital and dts decoding to be handled in the processor for multichannel playback. The analog audio connections can also be used for stereo playback, for example for CD audio or in a stereo home system.
This is normal - you will find that the product re-acquires your network before being able to select the station that you want, which can take several seconds.
