About Rotel

Our story began over 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have received hundreds of awards for our products and satisfied hundreds of thousands of people who take their entertainment seriously- like you!

Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufacture high-fidelity components of uncompromising quality. Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.

Rotel's engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning, each new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are free to choose components from around the world in order to make that product the best they can. You are likely to find capacitors from the United Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel's own factory.

We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more electronics are produced and later discarded, it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum negative impact on landfill sites and water tables.

At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content in our electronics by using special RoHS solder, while our new Class D (not digital) amplifiers are up to five times more efficient than our legacy designs and still deliver power and performance. These products run cool, give minimum wasted energy, are good for the environment and give better sound too.

Finally, we have printed this brochure on recycled paper stock.

While we understand that these are small first steps, they are still important ones. And we continue to pursue new methods and materials for a cleaner and greener manufacturing process.

All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will bring you many years of enjoyment.

Overview — the Rotel internet radio tuners/digital gateway products.

This Rotel product brings together conventional radio reception facilities for FM and DAB+, plus from the world of computers the ability to access literally thousands of radio stations available on the internet. In addition to this, this new range of Rotel tuners/digital gateways offers the facility to interface with your music files stored on a network server.

Note: The internet radio and network server features will not operate without a local area network.

These notes expand on the detailed instructions later in this manual.

DAB and FM radio

This is the most conventional part of the product and if you have previous experience of tuning, memorizing and selecting radio stations from the present DAB+ and FM radio services you will be familiar with the way the tuner is operated to receive these services. All of this is explained under the relevant sections. Keep in mind to select the antenna (aerial) input socket to use, find this option in the set-up menu. This does not obviate the need to install correctly designed antenna (aerials) to maximise reception on FM and DAB+ services.

Internet radio

Using internet radio requires the use of two additional services – access to the internet via a computer network and once this works a feed via one of the internet-based services which allows access to internet radio stations. This latter requirement is built into the tuner; we will deal with access to your network first.

Network access

The installation of computer networks are beyond the scope of these notes, so we assume that you have a working LAN or Wi-Fi network in your home.

At start-up, the unit looks for Wi-Fi networks, and once the search has been completed you will find one or more listed networks listed in the display to choose from. You need to select the network name which applies to your installation. This will have been assigned when your network was installed and is often pre-allocated by the router central to your network.

The next requirement is to enable your tuner to 'log-on' to your network and you allow this by entering the wireless 'WEP key' (or WPA, WPA2 key) appropriate to your network. It is likely that you will have used the key code when setting up a computer to log onto your network and it is often contained in the instructions for your router. This is a first-time only setting, so just carefully scroll though the alpha-numeric characters selecting the correct upper or lower case characters to create your WEP key. When completed, scroll through to and select END or press the REPLY key on the front panel or remote, to complete the process.

You can use the UP and DOWN keys of the remote to help you enter this information. Do not confuse the letter 'O' with the numeral 'O'.

When successfully logged on to your network, the tuner will automatically log in to the website where you to be able to select the area of the world that interests you and choose radio stations by country, genre and name.

Registering the radio at www.rotelradio.com will allow you to search for and save internet radio stations, as well as set up other music services when available for your region.

The Rotelradio website — managing your stations

Managing the thousands of radio stations available via the internet would be impossible without being able to organise and manage stations to suit your particular needs. Rotel have provided an easy way to accomplish this by means of a dedicated website where you can pre-select stations.

The URL for this site is http://rotelradio.com.

Like many websites you will need to register a user name and password in order to create an account on the site. Before you can do so, you will need to register the product on the site and there is a special registration key in the Rotel which you will need to copy to the website registration form. This registration key will be found under the settings>register menu. You need to be connected to the internet to access this one time only key.

After registration, the website will show the radio serial number of your Rotel unit. This is different from the serial number of your Rotel unit. The radio serial number can be found in the menu of the Rotel unit under Settings -> Version.

Note that to update the display of the Rotel to indicate your choices, you will need to power-cycle and re-select 'internet radio'. Your new list of 'My Stuff' will be updated automatically.

Playback from network servers

Music playback from computers configured as music servers provides another opportunity to link replay via the Rotel unit and thus make use of the audiophile decoding stages designed into these products.

As with internet radio, a prerequisite is a working network, plus the music server connected to it. A server will have been configured to share files and two methods of achieving this with appropriate software are shown under 'Media Player' section later in this manual.

Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Rotel Digital Gateway. When used in a high-quality music or home theater system, your Rotel Digital Gateway will provide years of musical enjoyment.

Features

Wireless or wired connection to access internet radio and premium • stations.

Access UPnP PCs and music with 'Media Player' Mode.

Listen to DAB+, FM broadcasting station.

Serve as the gateway for the Rotel-Link feature to control other components in the system.

A Few Precautions

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various system configurations as well as general information that will help you get the optimum performance from your system. Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments

Save the shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your unit and void the warranty.

Fill out and send in the owner's registration card packed with the unit. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required.

Placement

Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture, or vibration.

Don't stack other components or objects on top of the unit. Don't let any liquid fall into the unit.

Note the weight and size of the unit. If placing the unit on a shelf, cabinet or rack, make sure the full weight of the unit can be supported.

The unit generates heat during normal operation. Do not block ventilation openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed space around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate ventilation.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input 21

Your unit is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60 Hz, Europe: 230 volts/50 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a label on the back panel.

The unit is supplied with the proper AC power cord. Use only this cord or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cord. Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure the power switch on the front panel is turned off. Then, plug one end of the cord into the AC power connector on the back panel of the unit. Plug the other end into an appropriate AC outlet.

If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your digital gateway.

Note: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country and as such are included with more than one AC cord. Please use only the one appropriate for your country/region.

Power Switch and Indicator Light 1 A z

The indicator light above the switch will light, indicating that the unit is turned on. To turn the unit off, push the button again and return it to the out position.

12V Trigger Input 20

An input jack for connecting the wires carrying a +12 volt trigger signal from a Rotel preamp or surround sound processor to turn the unit on and off.

The TRIGGER INPUT accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts. Use a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12V DC signal appears at the "tip" connector.

12V Trigger Output ☐

The 12V TRIG jack labeled OUT is used to pass the remote turn-on signal to another Rotel unit. Any 12V Trigger signal at the INPUT jack will be passed through to the OUT jack.

Connection Overview

Before continuing further to other sections in the manual, please make sure all the cable connections are made properly. Refer to figure 2.

DAB/FM Broadcasting 14

Please use the supplied indoor antenna to connect the DAB and FM connector on the rear panel. To receive the best FM signal, make sure there is enough room for the T-shaped indoor antenna to fully extend. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall if desired. Experiment with different positions to maximize reception.

DIGITAL INPUT-AUX 17

The unit can receive digital music signal from other sources and convert them to analog signals then output to a pre-amplifier or processor conne through OUTPUT 15 jacks. There are two connectors on the AUX Digital Input area on the rear panel, labeled with coaxial and optical. Connect the coaxial or optical output of your source to the coaxial or optical input of the unit.

Network Connection 13 16

This unit can connect to a wired or wireless network. If using a wired network, connect your internet cable to the socket marked ETHERNE ^19 . If using a wireless network, please connect the WiFi antenna (supplied) to the connector marked WiFi ^16 .

The software of this unit can be updated through this socket, if upgrades become necessary.

OUTPUT 15

The unit outputs a stereo analog signal. Use the supplied audio cable to connect it with input jacks of your pre-amplifier or processor. Be careful and make sure that connections correspond to each other. Right channel output must be connected to right channel of pre-amplifier's or processor's right channel and vice versa.

These 2 Rotel Link Out connections can be made with the stereo 3.5 mm cable (supplied) to a Rotel integrated amplifier and CD player. These connections link the Digital Gateway, Amplifier and CD player into one IP controllable system via the Rotel Remote application. See Figure 3.

Internet Radio

What you need before starting

Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following:

A broadband Internet connection. •

Access point to internet through wired or wireless LAN.

With wireless LAN connection, internet radio should work within 100 metres of the wireless access point, subject to the router/Wi-Fi gateway being placed in the optimum area for your location. The user can confirm the WiFi Strength under the settings menu. (Settings->WiFi Strength)

Make sure that your LAN is connected properly and is able to access the internet. To access internet radio stations an internet connection is required.

First Time Connection To The Network

When you turn on the unit for the first time, it starts by searching for LAN connections. If both wired and wireless connections are present, the wired connection will be the default, unless a "wireless only" selection was made in the setup menu. The following example illustrates a wireless connection.

Starting ... ...

SCANNING NETWORK... ...

After a few seconds, it will start to scan for networks.

If no wireless network is found, it will display no network found.

NO NETWORK FOUND

When the unit finds your network, it will display the ESSID for the access point on the screen – this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network – for example:

< MY NETWORK >

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your unit will find more than one wireless access point if using wireless connection, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on the panel to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.

If the screen displays "Enter WEP key" or "Enter WPA key" then the network is using one of the encryption systems, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Please obtain the access code from the person who set up your wireless network, or check the user manual of your router for this information. Input the code into the Rotel unit to gain access to the wireless LAN.

Note: If you would like to use a static IP address, or if the unit can not automatically get an IP address, then please see the 'Network config' section under the 'Settings' section at the end of the manual.

Selecting A Radio Station

Once a network is found and the network connections made, The top-level menu will be displayed, please select "Internet Radio", the display will show as
