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 it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum impact on the environment.

At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content in our products by using special lead-free ROHS solder and components. Our engineers continually strive to improve power supply efficiency without compromise to quality. When in standby mode Rotel products use minimal power to meet global Standby Power Consumption requirements.

The Rotel factory is also doing their part to help the environment through constant improvements to product assembly methods for a cleaner and greener manufacturing processes.

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

A Few Precautions

WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct and secure.

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various T14 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 T14 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the T14 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your unit and void the warranty.

If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner's registration card. 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.

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input 26

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.

NOTE: Should you move your unit to another country, it may be possible to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information.

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.

The T14 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized (where possible) wall outlet or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio system. Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure the POWER SWITCH 1 on the front panel of the T14 is turned off (in the "out" position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the Power Connector 26 on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.

If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug the T14 (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.

Power Switch and Power Indicator 12 A

The power switch is located on the left side of the front panel. To turn the unit ON, push the switch in. The power LED above the power switch will be blue when the unit is powered on and red when in standby mode. To turn the unit off, push the button again and return it to the "out" position.

When the power switch is in the ON position, the remote control ON and OFF buttons Ⓐ may be used to activate the T14. In Standby mode the power LED is red, but the display is turned OFF.

12V Trigger Input and Output 25

See figure 4

The jack labeled IN is for connecting the 3.5mm Plug/Cable carrying a +12 volt trigger signal from a preamp or surround sound processor to turn the unit on and off. This input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts.

The jack labeled OUT is for connecting another 3.5mm plug/cable to provide a 12V trigger signal to other components. Any 12V Trigger signal at the INPUT jack will be passed through to the OUT jack.

NOTE: If you are using other units in the series with Rotel Link, please use the Rotel Link connection to turn the units on or off. Do not connect both the Rotel Link and 12V trigger cables. The 12V trigger's power on or off features will override the Rotel Link features.

Connection Overview

See figure 3.

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

Wi-Fi Antenna 17

Please use the supplied Wi-Fi antennas to connect to the Wi-Fi connectors on the rear panel. This allows the T14 to connect to the Wi-Fi network. To configure the Wi-Fi settings please see the Play-Fi section.

DAB/FM Broadcasting 18

Please use the supplied indoor antennas 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.

NOTE: For improved reception performance, consider using an external antenna for FM and DAB.

Output 19

A pair of standard RCA jacks supply an analog output signal from the T14 to the source inputs of an audio preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver.

Select high quality audio interconnect cables. Connect the left and right channel outputs of the T14 to the corresponding inputs on the preamplifier or other component.

COAXIAL Output 20

If you are using an outboard D/A converter or other digital processor, you will need an unprocessed digital data stream from the T14. Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the T14's coaxial output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.

USB Connection 22

This connection is used for service. For more information please contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

RS232 Connector 23

The T14 can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation systems. The RS232 input accepts a standard straight DB-9 Male-to-Female cable.

For additional information on the connections, software, and operating codes for RS232 control of the T14, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Rotel Link 24

RDS Broadcast Reception

This Rotel unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data Systems) reception capabilities. The RDS broadcast system provides additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting encoded information along with the radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including:

1. A display of the station's identifying name (e.g. BBC1).
2. A display of the station's program content (e.g. ROCK or NEWS).
3. Traffic information broadcasts.
4. A scrolling text display for announcements or information.
5. Current time and date.

RDS broadcasting has been widely available in many European markets for years. There are a large number of RDS stations and most users will be familiar with the features and operation.

NOTE: The RDS features are entirely dependent on the broadcaster sending properly encoded signals. Thus, they will only be available in markets where RDS is currently implemented and where stations are broadcasting these data signals.

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, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:

Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated

The power Indicator should be illuminated, either Blue (on) or Red (standby), whenever the unit is plugged into the wall power outlet and the power button is depressed. If it does not illuminate, 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.

Network Does Not Work

If you have trouble connecting to your wireless network, check your network setting carefully, these steps may help to resolve the problem.

1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi network works, ie, PC can access the Internet using the same network.
2. Check that your network's firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports.
3. Make sure the placement of your unit allows it to receive the Wi-Fi signal.

No Sound

1. Check the cables between the output and the pre-amplifier inputs, be sure they are connected properly. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Music played from Play-Fi App are affected by the speed of your internet connection. If you find that music is cutting out regularly, check the signal strength of the Wi-Fi network, consider the installation of Wi-Fi repeaters or contact your Internet service provider or authorized Rotel dealer.
3. Make sure the station you selected is operating at the current hour. The station can be broadcasting from a different time zone.

Cannot Tune to DAB/DAB+ Preset Station

Some stations may become unavailable and will be displayed in the Station List with a “?” character in front of the station name. These stations are no longer broadcasting or received by the T14. Presets that are set to these stations will not function and if selected the T14 will display the DAB menu. To remove stations no longer transmitting, use the PRUNE function in the DAB Menu. This will remove these stations from the Station List and from the Preset list.
