When using the XLR outputs the Balanced Output switch
14
must be set to the On position. Then simply connect a cable with
XLR connectors to the RC-995 outputs and power amplifier inputs.
Be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-
995 to the correct channels of the amplifier. If you have questions
about the proper type of cable to use, consult your authorized
Rotel dealer.

Front Panel Controls
Volume Control
5
The Volume control increase or decreases the volume in both
channels at the same time. Turn it
clockwise to increase the vol-
ume and
counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Balance Control
6
The Balance Control alters the relative volume level of the two
channels. Turn the Balance Control to the right to make the right
channel louder. Turn it to the left to make the left channel louder.
Listening Selector
8
The setting of the Listening Selector controls which of the input
signals goes to the main outputs and onto the power amplifier –
or, more simply, which source is heard. The source selected is in-
dicated by an LED that illuminates next to the source name on the
front panel.
Recording Selector
7
The setting of the Recording Selector controls which of the input
signals goes to the record outputs. The source selected is indi-
cated by an LED that illuminates next to the source name on the
front panel. When you are not recording, the Recording Selector
should be set to the Off position to minimize the chance of inter-
ference from other components in the system.
Having a separate Recording and Listening selector adds a sig-
nificant degree of flexibility in how you can use the RC-995. For
example by setting the Record Selector to CD and the Listening
Selector to Tuner you could record a CD onto a tape while listen-
ing to the tuner.
If you wish to duplicate (“dub”) a recording from one recorder to
another, the source unit should be connected to Tape 1 input. The
Recording Selector should be set to Tape 1. The unit recording the
signal should be connected to Tape 2 output.
Phones Output
3
The Phones output allows you to connect headphones for private
listening. This output accommodates standard stereo phone (1/4”)
plugs. If your headphones have another type of plug, such as a
1/8” mini-plug, you will need an adapter plug. Contact your autho-
rized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter plug. Note: Plugging
in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs.
The power amplifier will continue to receive a signal and the
speakers will continue to play.
Remote Sensor
4
The Remote Sensor is located to the right of the Phones jack on
the front panel. It picks up the infra-red signals from the remote
control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be clear of ob-
structions or the remote control will not work properly. The opera-
tion of the Remote Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to
bright light, particularly sun light. In addition remote control func-
tions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-949 are weak.

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect con-
nections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, deter-
mine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If
you are unable to get sound from the RC-995, refer to the sugges-
tions for the following conditions:
Standby Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Standby Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RC-995 is
plugged into the wall power outlet. If it does not light, 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.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power
outlet, and the Standby Indicator still will not light when the RC-
995 is plugged into the wall outlet, it indicates that the internal
power fuse may have blown. If you believe this has happened,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make
sure the cables from the signal source to the RC-995 inputs are
connected properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set to the
proper input. Check the power amplifier for power and proper op-
eration. Check all the wiring between the RC-995 and the power
amplifier, and the power amplifier and speakers.
