Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RX-975 AM/FM Stereo Receiver. The RX-975 is three products in one: 1. A full-featured audio/video control center for analog audio and video source components 2. A high-quality AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets, direct access tuning, and auto-tuning. 3. A high power 2-channel amplifier. Rotels Balanced Design Concept combines advanced circuit board layout, comprehensive parts evaluation, and extensive listening tests for superior sound and long term reliability. We are confident that you will enjoy the high performance of your Rotel RX-975 for years to come. In addition, the RX-975 includes a universal remote control that is factory programmed operate the RX-975 and can be programmed to operate up to seven other components of your choice, providing the convenience of whole-system control from a single remote.
Make sure there is enough room behind the RX-975 for easy hookup. Remember, you are connecting many other components to this unit and youll probably need more space than you think. Dont stack other objects (components or other items) on top of the RX-975. Dont let water fall into the RX-975 as this could damage delicate circuitry.

Main Operating Controls

We suggest you look over the RX-975s front and rear panels before you start connecting other components to it. The following explanations will help you get familiar with the units connections, features, and controls, with number references corresponding to the illustrations at the front of this manual. Most functions are duplicated on the front panel and on the remote control shipped with your unit. A few may be available only on one or the other. When two reference numbers appear, one refers to the location of the button on the front panel, the other to the location of the button on the handheld remote control.

Unpacking

Remove the unit carefully from its packing. Look for the handheld remote control and other accessories. Save the packing and box as it will protect the RX-975 if you move or need to return it for maintenance.
Front panel controls and displays used for tuning the AM/FM receiver are described in the next section of this manual.
POWER Switch STANDBY Switch

Placement

Place the RX-975 on a solid, dry, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high humidity, or strong vibrations. The RX-975 can generate considerable heat during normal operation. Do not block its ventilation openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) of unobstructed open space around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Make sure the RX-975 is close to the other components in your audio/video system and, if possible, place it on its own shelf. This will make initial cable routing, hookup, and any subsequent system changes easier. It also minimizes potential interference or heat buildup from other components.

The RX-975 has two pushbuttons for powering on and off. The POWER switch completely shuts down all of the circuitry, similar in effect to removing the power cord from the AC outlet. The STANDBY switch deactivates the unit, but preserves power to some circuits such as those that store memorized circuits. When in STANDBY mode, a front panel STANDBY LED indicator lights. The STANDBY switch is duplicated on the RX-975's remote.
In normal operation, use the STANDBY switch to deactivate the unit when you are finished listening and leave the POWER switch ON at all times. This will preserve memory functions.

BALANCE Control

Turn the BALANCE control clockwise to increase the output level of the right channel speakers. Turn counterclockwise to increase the output level of the left channel speakers. The center detent position removes the control from the circuit and provides equal output from both left and right channels.

Input Source Buttons

Ten large front panel buttons directly select an audio or video input source (such as a CD player, the built-in tuner, a tape recorder, video sources, etc.) for listening. Push any of these buttons (or the duplicates on the handheld remote) to select the desired source. You will hear this source and, if you have selected a video source, see its picture on your TV monitor. The front panel display will show the current source selection. TAPE MONITOR Buttons: Two of the INPUT SOURCE buttons have a special function. The TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR buttons activate the audio inputs of a tape monitor loop consisting of a pair of outputs and a matching set of inputs. Normally, this tape monitor loop is used to play a tape deck connected to these inputs or for real time monitoring of a recording in progress on an audio tape deck. Alternatively, the tape monitor loop could be used to pass a signal to a graphic equalizer and listen to the processed signal by pressing the corresponding TAPE MONITOR button. An indicator appears in the front panel display when TAPE 2 MONITOR is activated.
The STANDBY switch also controls the rear panel AC outlets. When the RX-975 is in STANDBY mode, the AC outlet is also off. When the RX-975 is fully functional, the AC outlet is live.

HEADPHONES Jack

This jack accepts a standard 1/4 inch stereo headphone plug. Use an adaptor if your headphones have the smaller mini-plug. Inserting a headphone plug will automatically disable all speaker outputs.

NOTE: If the TUNER is not already the selected INPUT SOURCE, selecting a station preset will automatically switch to the TUNER input and tune the memorized station.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will appear in the frequency display and the second bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits of the frequency. When all of the digits have been entered, the tuner will automatically tune to the displayed station frequency.
NOTE: On the USA version only, pressing 1 in the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in the frequency display. On the European version, it is necessary to press 1 and then 0 to enter 10. For US FM stations, press only one digit following the decimal point as shown in the first example below. For European FM stations, press two digits following the decimal point as show in the second example.

BAND Button

The BAND button selects whether the tuner is in AM or FM mode. Press the button to toggle back and forth between AM and FM. A corresponding indicator will light at the left portion of the front panel display to confirm your choice and the currently tuned station frequency will be shown.

TUNING Button

This rocker switch (or pair of buttons labeled CH UP/DOWN on the remote control) provides two different tuning functions, depending on the mode of operation. In the normal FREQUENCY TUNING mode, press a TUNING button and release to manually jump to the next station frequency, regardless of whether or not a station is broadcasting on that frequency. For auto scan tuning, press and hold the TUNING button for approximately one second. An AUTO indicator will appear in the front panel display and the tuner will begin automatically scanning up or down through the frequencies until the next available station is detected. If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning. In the PRESET TUNING mode, press a TUNING button and release to jump to the next memorized station preset. Switch between FREQUENCY and PRESET tuning modes by pressing the SHIFT button and then the BAND/TV button on the remote control. A PRESET indicator appears in the display when PRESET TUNING is activated.

EXAMPLES:

(USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5 (Europe FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5>0 (all AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1>0

MONO Button

The MONO button changes the FM mode from stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. A stereo indicator will light in the front panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for direct access tuning (see below).

FREQUENCY DIRECT Button

If you know the frequency of the desired station, you may tune it directly using the FREQUENCY DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons. 1. Press the FREQUENCY DIRECT button to change the NUMERIC buttons from station preset to Direct Access mode. The station frequency in the front panel display will change to a series of four bars, representing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar flashing.
Switching to mono mode can be a useful way to improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.
Several indicators in the front panel display assist tuning. A large display shows the tuned frequency and increases or decreases during tuning. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal is received.
English TUNE/PRESET Button [SHIFT] TV/BAND
The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the CH TUNING buttons advance to the next station frequency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the CH TUNING Buttons advance to the next memorized station preset). To change modes, press the SHIFT button and then the TV/BAND button. A PRESET indicator in the front panel DISPLAY will light when the PRESET mode is active.

RR-949 Remote Control

The RX-975 includes a handheld remote control that does far more than operate the RX-975. The RR-949 is a full-function programmable remote control that can operate up to 8 audio/video components. A separate manual, included with the remote, gives detailed information on programming and using the RR-949 to replace all of the remote controls in your system. This section is intended to provide only that information which pertains to the use of the RR-949 to operate the RX-975.
2. Use the NUMERIC buttons to enter the 3-digit code (001) for the RX-975 press 0, then 0, then 1. The AUDIO button will flash each time you enter a digit. 3.

Connect the RCA analog audio outputs of the first video component to the left and right RCA analog audio inputs labeled VIDEO 2. Then, connect the RCA composite video output of the video source to the corresponding RCA composite connection labeled VIDEO 2. Repeat for additional components, using VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, and AUX/VIDEO 5.
NOTE: Any of the video source inputs may also be used for an audio-only source. Simply omit the video connection.

CD Inputs

Connect the left and right analog outputs from a CD player to the RCA input jacks labeled CD.

Rear Panel Connections

The RX-975 provides rear panel connections for five video sources, three audio sources, and a phono input for use with a turntable. These connections include standard RCA audio inputs and outputs plus composite video inputs and outputs. The RX-975 includes two pairs of speaker connections for the built-in power amplifier as well as RCA preamp outputs for use with external amplifiers. In addition, a composite video output connects the unit to your TV monitor.

Tape Inputs and Outputs

The RX-975 provides two sets of audio tape connections labeled TAPE 1 and TAPE 2. Each has a pair of inputs and a pair of record outputs that allow recording on either tape deck. Connect the left and right analog outputs from an audio tape deck to the TAPE 1 IN input jacks. Connect the TAPE 1 OUT output jacks to the INPUTS on the audio tape deck. Connect a second tape deck to the TAPE 2 connections the outputs of the tape deck to the IN jacks on the RX-975 and the OUT jacks on the RX-975 to the inputs on the tape deck.

TV Monitor Output

The video output of the RX-975 sends the video signal to your TV monitor. Connect the TV MONITOR output to an RCA composite video input on your television monitor. Whatever input source is selected on the RX-975 will appear on screen.
DO NOT plug any system component into an AC source until system hookup is complete and you are confident that all component-to-component connections have been properly made.
All video cables should have a 75 ohm impedance rating. Although conventional audio interconnects will pass a video signal, their construction and limited bandwidth impose a performance penalty because, in part, they do not adhere to the 75 ohm standard. When making signal connections, make sure that you always preserve proper channel consistency, i.e. connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT channels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on the RX-975 follow these standard color codes:

VIDEO 1 Inputs/Outputs

There are groups of connections for up to five video source components. Each group includes a pair of RCA analog audio inputs and a composite video input. One group, VIDEO 1, also includes a set of record outputs for sending audio and video signals to a VCR. Connect your VCR to the VIDEO 1 group of inputs and outputs. This set of connections allows recording. Connect the analog audio outputs of the VCR to the VIDEO 1 PLAY left and right RCA audio jacks. Connect the VIDEO 1 REC left and right RCA audio output jacks to the audio inputs on the VCR.

Speaker Outputs

The RX-975 has a built-in stereo amplifier for driving left and right speakers. There are two pairs of connections on the back panel which allow you to connect two pairs of speakers (A and B) and select them with a front-panel button.
NOTE: The combined speaker impedance must be a minimum of 4 ohms. If you are driving just one pair of speakers (A or B connections), use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you are driving two pairs of speakers (A and B) simultaneously, use speakers rated at 8 ohms or higher.
Left audio: RCA jack with white inset Right audio: RCA jack with red inset Video: RCA jack with yellow inset
The back panel speaker connections consist of two groups of binding posts which accept bare wire or banana type plug connectors (except in the European Community countries where their use is not permitted). One group is used for the A speakers; the other for the B speakers. Each group has a positive (+) and negative () connection for the right speaker and a positive (+) and negative () connection for the left speaker Each pair of connectors is color-coded for polarity: red for the positive connection and black for the negative connection. All speakers and all speaker wire is also marked for polarity. It is essential for proper performance to maintain this polarity at all speaker connections. Always connect the positive terminal of each speaker to the corresponding red speaker terminal on the RX-975 and the negative speaker terminal to the corresponding black connector on the RX-975. Route the wires from the RX-975 to the speakers. Give yourself enough slack so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker connectors. If you are using banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then plug into the backs of the binding posts. The collars of the binding posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise). If you are attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors and strip back the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew the binding post collars. Insert the wire into the hole in the shaft. Turn the collars clockwise to clamp the wire in place.

NOTE :

The preamp outputs are connected to power amplifier inputs with metal jumpers in a standard PRE OUT/MAIN IN configuration. To disable the built-in power amplifiers and use external amplifiers, it will be necessary to remove these jumpers. Save them for future use.
To hook up the RCA audio outputs to an external amplifier, connect a standard audio cable from each output to the input of the amplifier channel that will power the corresponding speaker.

FM Wire Antenna

Be sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch adjacent wires or connectors.

Preamp Inputs/Outputs

The RX-975 provides a pair of variable-level RCA preamp audio outputs and a pair of RCA amplifier inputs that allow you to use external amplifiers in place of, or in addition to, the built-in amplifiers.
To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the AM terminals in place of the loop antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes.

AC Power Connections

AC Input
Your RX-975 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (120 volts AC, 60Hz in the US or 230 volts AC, 50Hz in the European community). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit. Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit.
AC Convenience Outlet [USA version only]
Two AC outlets let you plug a power cord from a source component or other accessory into the back of the RX-975 so that it will be turned on and off automatically. The outlet is powered whenever the RX-975 is fully active and off when it is in STANDBY mode.

Remote External Sensor

This 3.5 mm mini-jack receives command codes from industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) via hard-wired connections. This feature could prove useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the frontpanel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on these external repeaters and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.
