Please read this manual carefully. In addition
to installation and operating instructions, it
provides valuable information on various
RT-1082 system configurations as well as gen-
eral information that will help you get optimum
performance for 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.
Place the RT-1082 on a solid, dry, level surface
away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high
humidity or strong vibrations. The RT-1082 can
generate some heat during normal operation.
If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is
adequateventilation.Makesurethereisenough
room behind the RT-1082 for easy hookup.
Place the unit 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 RT-1082 includes a loop antenna to receive
AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from
the box and locate it near the RT-1082.
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire
from the loop antenna to the pair of screw
terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one
wire to each terminal. It does not matter which
wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure
that the connections are solid and that the two
wires do not touch
Save the RT-1082 packaging material for
future use. Shipping or moving the RT-1082
in anything other than the original packaging
material may result in severe damage that is
not covered by the warranty.
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient
the antenna to find the best position.
Don’t stack heavy objects on top of the RT-
NOTE:To use an outdoor antenna, connect
its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the G
and AM terminals in place of the loop an-
tenna, only after a professional contractor
has installed the antenna system in accor-

and Canada as well as many other sup-
ported regions.
NOTE: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.
RCA Outputs o
Line level RCA audio outputs send a fixed-
level stereo signal from the RT-1082 to your
pre-amplifier, system controller, or integrated
amplifier.
FM Antenna y
The RT-1082 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor
FM antenna. Remove this antenna from the box
and connect its attached coax F-type plug to
the FM antenna connector on the RT-1082. For
best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna.
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the
antenna to a wall if desired. Experiment with
positioning for best reception.

•
Stereo/mono switching.
Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect
the LEFT OUTPUT jack to the left channel tuner
input on your system controller and the RIGHT
OUTPUT jack to the right channel tuner input
on your system controller.
12-volt trigger connections for remote turn
on/off by Rotel preamplifiers and surround
processors.

Unpacking
DAB Digital Outputs p
Remove the unit from its packing. Look for
the handheld remote control and other ac-
cessories. Install the supplied batteries in the
remote control. Save the packing and box as
it will protect the RT-1082 if you move or need
to return it for maintenance.
One coaxial and one S/PDIF output capable
of outputting available DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcast) stations. DAB provides interference
free, near CD quality audio as well as any
corresponding broadcast data.
NOTE:To use an outdoor antenna, connect
its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM con-
nector in place of the indoor wire antenna,
only after a professional contractor has in-
stalled the antenna system in accordance
with local electrical codes. In the USA, you
will need to use the supplied F-type convert-
er to connect the 75 ohm coax cable to the
antenna input.
