Model Number and  

Serial Number Screen

This screen displays the model number and serial

Internet Address Screen

This screen provides the world-wide Internet 
Web address for Rotel.

INPUT FREQUENCY;  

OUTPUT FREQUENCY Screen

This screen shows the AC line frequency of the 
power coming from the wall power outlet and 
the AC line frequency of the power being sup-
plied to the connected devices.

����������������

����������������

At times, the frequency values on this screen may 
not match. This is due to the fact that separate 
circuits are used to make frequency measure-
ments, and there is a time delay between the 
two circuits for updating this status screen. This 
condition is normal.

Note:

 The display will revert to the default 

SOURCE; EST RUNTIME screen after about 
30 seconds of inactivity. The default screen 
can be changed. See the “Setting the Default 
Screen” section of this manual.

Connecting the Components

WARNING:

 Do not make telephone, cable, 

Ethernet, antenna, electrical, or ground 

system 

connections during a lightning storm. Failure to 
comply may result in personal injury or death.

The RLC-1080 has four groups of power outlets. 
Each group has specialized filtering and surge 
protection that are specifically designed for 
certain type of components. It is recommended 
that you connect your A/V components to the 
power outlets that are designed for that type of 
unit. For more information see the 

AC Power 

Outlets

 section of this manual.

Connect the ground connector of each component 
in the system to the 

SYSTEM GROUND

 terminal 

on the RLC-1080. This will eliminate “ground 
loops”  thus prevent the audible hum that they 
might otherwise produce.
