Connecting Your RR2160

 

MkII 

Before trying to connect your RR2160

 

MkII to other 

system components, please observe the following 

simple precautions: 

   Don’t connect the power cord to either the AC 

outlet or your RR 2160 until you’ve made all 

other connections. 

   Always turn off any device before connecting it 

to the RR2160

 

MkII. Better yet, unplug the device 

from its AC power source, as automatic turn-on 

signals may inadvertently turn the product on. 

Better safe than sorry! 

   Always pay attention to the warnings, options, 

and specific procedures contained in the 

instructions that came with the component 

you’re connecting. 

   For analog connections, remember that 

red input jacks = right channel audio 

white input jacks = left channel audio 

   Insert all plugs and connectors securely. If you 

don’t, you may experience noise, poor 

performance, or equipment damage. 

   DO NOT bundle audio connection cables with 

power cords and speaker cables. To get the 

performance you expect, run all the power 

cords down one side of the cabinet, all the 

signal connections down the other side, and 

the speaker cables down the center. 

   Connect your speakers after you’ve connected 

all your other components to the RR2160

 

MkII

but before you connect the power cord. 

Connecting and Using an Antenna

The RR2160

 

MkII has an internal FM/FM Stereo/ 

HD tuner with a connection for the FM 

antennae. 

FM Antenna 

Connect the supplied FM dipole antenna by 

screwing the antenna’s coaxial connector onto the 

FM antenna connector (R7). 

Note: This antenna is for indoor use only. For best 

reception, fully extend the antenna and 

experiment with its positioning to get the strongest 

signal. If FM reception with the supplied indoor 

antenna does not provide a strong enough signal 

for acceptable reception, we recommend using an 

optional amplified indoor or high-gain outdoor 

antenna.
