About Rotel
Our story began over 60 years ago. Over the decades, we have received
hundreds of awards for our products and satised hundreds of thousands
of people who take their entertainment seriously – like you!
Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led them
to manufacture high-delity components of uncompromising quality. Through
the years, that passion has remained undiminished and the family goal of
providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers, regardless
of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.
Rotel’s engineers work as a close team, listening to, and ne tuning, each
new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are
free to choose components from around the world in order to make that
product the best they can. You are likely to nd capacitors from the United
Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the United States,
while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.
We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more
electronics are produced it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all
it can to engineer products that have a minimum impact on the environment.
At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content
in our products by using special lead-free ROHS solder and components.
Our engineers continually strive to improve power supply efciency without
compromise to quality. When in standby mode Rotel products use minimal
power to meet global Standby Power Consumption requirements.
The Rotel factory is also doing their part to help the environment through
constant improvements to product assembly methods for a cleaner and
greener manufacturing processes.
All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will bring
you many years of enjoyment.
Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel DT-6000 DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)
Transport. When used in a high-quality music or home theater system, your
Rotel product will provide years of musical enjoyment.
The DT-6000 is a full featured, high performance component. All aspects
of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and
subtle nuances of your music. The DT-6000 has a highly regulated power
supply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power transformer
and custom-made slit foil capacitors. This low impedance power supply has
ample power reserves, which enables the DT-6000 to easily reproduce the
most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive to
manufacture, but it is better for the music.
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed with Symmetrical Circuit Traces.
This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and faithfully
recreated. The DT-6000 circuitry uses metal lm resistors and polystyrene
or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths. All aspects of this
design have been examined to ensure the most faithful music reproduction.
The main functions of the DT-6000 are easy to install and use. If you have
experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t nd anything perplexing.
Simply plug in the associated components and enjoy.

A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the
loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system
components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct
and secure.
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various unit system
congurations as well as general information that will help you get optimum
performance from 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.
Save the shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use.
Shipping or moving the unit in anything other than the original packing
material may result in severe damage to your unit.
If included in the box please complete the owner’s registration card or
register on line. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best
record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty
service is required.
Placement
Like all audio components that handle low level signals, this unit can be
affected by its environment. Also avoid routing audio signal cables near
power cords. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference.
Remember the weight of the unit when you select an installation location.
Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support it. We recommend installing
the unit in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is
designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound
quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component
furniture and proper installation of audio components.
Cables
Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and analog audio
signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize
the chance of the analog audio signal cables picking up noise or interference
from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded
cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the
sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized
Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.
The RR-D150 Remote Control
RR-D150. Install the batteries as shown in the illustration in the battery well.
Test the control for proper operation, then replace the cover. When the
batteries become weak the remote control won’t operate the unit consistently.
Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input ]
Your unit is congured at the factory for the proper AC voltage in the
country where you purchased it (either 120 volts or 230 volts). The AC line
conguration is noted on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your unit to another country, it may be possible
to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to
perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit
exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please use only
the cord appropriate for your country/region.
The unit should be plugged directly into a polarized wall outlet using the
supplied cable or other high current compatible cable as recommended by
your authorized Rotel dealer. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the unit is turned off (in the
“out” position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the AC power
receptacle on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time
such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your
unit (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch and POWER Indicator
Press the front panel Power Switch button, to turn the unit on. The Power
Indicator light is illuminated when the unit is on. Press Power Switch button
again to turn the unit off.

Remote Only
This button, labeled PROG, allows you to memorize as many as 20 tracks
on the current disc for playback in a specic order. For example, you could
instruct the DT-6000 to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8.
NOTE: Direct track access is not available when in the PROGRAM
mode.
RANDOM Button w
This instructs the unit to play tracks from the entire disc in random order.
Once all of the selections have been played once, the disc will stop playing,
unless the REPEAT Button (see below) has been engaged, in which case the
random play will continue until the STOP button is pressed.
REPEAT Button q
This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc continuously
until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT button or pressing the
STOP button . The REPEAT button steps sequentially through the available
options. Press the button once and the DT-6000 will repeat just the current
track. Press the button a second time and the DT-6000 will repeat the entire
disc. Press the button a third time to cancel the REPEAT function.
As noted above, REPEAT can be used in conjunction with the RANDOM
play feature.
NOTE: The REPEAT function is automatically cancelled when the disc
is ejected.
TIME Button e
Normally, the DT-6000 displays the elapsed time of the currently playing track.
The TIME button allows you to step through two alternative time displays.
Pressing the button once displays the time remaining in the current track,
which counts down as the track continues playing. Pressing the button a
second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized
program). Pressing the button a third time reverts to the standard elapsed
time display.

To begin a program:
1. Insert a disc into the tray loader. The DT-6000 will read the contents
of the disc.
2. Press the PROG button on the remote control. The PROGRAM indicator
will light up in the display, along with “PROG-01” indicating that the
unit is waiting for the rst track to be memorized.
3. Enter the rst track number using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your
selection will be memorized automatically. Press PROG button again
then the display indicator will change to “PROG-02”. Continue entering
the rest of your selections using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons.
Once you have memorized a play list, the DT-6000 remains in PROGRAM
mode until you eject the disc or press the PROG button. If you press the
PLAY button u, the memorized program will play instead of the entire disc,
starting with the rst selection in the memorized list.
When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most functions that would normally
affect the entire disc operate on just the memorized program. For example,
the TRACK buttons advance to the next track in the memorized program,
not the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT button (see below)
continuously plays the memorized program, not the entire disc.
NOTE: The Random button does not function when playing a program.
To activate the Random button the unit must exit Program playback.
NOTE: If a disc has CD Text information on it, pressing the play button
during playback will alternate between standard disc information and
any CD Text data being shown on the display.
PC-USB Input
See Figure 5
Connect this input using a USB cable to the USB socket of your computer.
The DT-6000 supports USB Audio Class 2.0 modes. To take advantage of
USB Audio Class 2.0 audio playback supporting up to 384kHz sampling
rates you will need to install the Windows driver supplied on the USB stick
included with the DT-6000.
Many audio playback applications do not support 384kHz sampling rate.
Please conrm your audio player supports 384kHz audio and you have
384kHz audio les to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may
need to congure the audio driver in your PC to output 384kHz or your
computer may “down sample” to a lower audio sample rate. For more
information please refer to your audio player or operating system information.

Troubleshooting
Most difculties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or
improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the
difculty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and
make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the unit,
refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated
The Power Indicator and the basic items in the display window should be
illuminated whenever the unit is plugged into the wall power outlet and the
Power button is pushed in. 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,
but the Power Indicator and the display still will not light when the unit 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 cables between the unit and the amplier inputs to be sure they
are connected properly. Be sure the correct amplier input is selected. Be
sure the tape monitor system of the amplier has not been activated. Check
the wiring between the amplier and the speakers.
