Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RLC-1080
Power Conditioner. When used in a high-quality
music or home theater system, your Rotel power
conditioner will protect your high performance
audio and video components from damaging
power surges, spikes and lightning, as well as
power outages. Protection is guaranteed. Isolated
noise filter banks and automatic voltage regula-
tion will eliminate power as a source of audio
and video signal degradation. Pure sine wave
battery backup power will prevent interruptions,
lost pre-sets, missed DVR recordings and lost
media server data when the power goes out.
Data-line surge protection jacks will stop surges
traveling over phone or data lines.
Digital satellite system, cable modem, and
CATV coaxial cable lines are equally protected.
With the RLC-1080 you can enjoy your home
theater experience with the peace of mind that
performance is optimized and protection is
guaranteed.
