Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RB-976 Six Channel Power
Amplifier. When used in a high-quality music or home theater system, it will provide years of musical enjoyment.
The RB-976 is a high-power, six-channel power amplifier, providing the highest level of audio performance. Discrete output devices, a massive power supply, premium components, and Rotel’s
Balanced Design ensure superb sound quality. High current capability allows the RB-976 to drive the most demanding loudspeakers.
Be aware that the RB-976 is capable of high power levels, in excess of 60 watts per channel. Make sure that your speakers can
handle the power of the RB-976. If in doubt about your speakers,
ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice.
The RB-976 is straightforward in its installation and operation. If
you have experience with other power amplifiers, you shouldn’t
find anything perplexing. Plug in the cables from your preamp into
the amplifier inputs, wire up your speakers, and enjoy.
A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation
and operating instructions, it provides valuable information on
various RB-976 system configurations 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.
1
SIX CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER RB-976
Save the RB-976 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RB-976 in anything
other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier.
Fill out and send in the owner’s registration card packed with the
RB-976. 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 ever required.
Placement
Because of its high power output, the RB-976 may generate considerable heat. The heat sinks and ventilation openings in the amplifier are more than capable of dissipating this heat under normal
conditions, but don’t smother your amplifier. There must be adequate clearance around the chassis. The ventilation slots in the
top cover must be unblocked, and there must be reasonable airflow around the amplifier. Use common sense when placing the
amplifier in a cabinet or when stacking other equipment.
Likewise, remember the weight of the amplifier when you select
an installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can
support its considerable bulk. Again, use common sense.
Protection Circuitry
The RB-976 features a thermal protection circuit that protects the
amplifier against potential damage in the event of extreme or
faulty operating conditions. Unlike many designs, the RB-976’s
protection circuit is independent of the audio signal and has no
impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection circuit
monitors the temperature of the output devices and shuts down
the amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
AC Power and Controls
AC Power Input
Because of its high power rating, the RB-976 can draw considerable current. Therefore, it should be plugged directly into a 2-pin
polarized wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord. A heavy duty
multi-tap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet)
is rated to handle the current demanded by the RB-976 and all the
other components connected to it.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the RB-976 is
turned off (in the out position). Then, connect the supplied power
cord to the AC power outlet.
Your RB-976 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line
voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 volts AC
or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The
AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel.
Note: Should you move your RB-976 amplifier to another country,
it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different
line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself.
Opening the enclosure of the RB-976 exposes you to dangerous
voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory
service department for information.
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 amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
9
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action.
However, should a faulty condition arise, one or more channels of
the amplifier will stop playing.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off, let it cool down for several
minutes, and attempt to identify and correct the problem that
caused the protection circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection circuit will automatically reset.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault
condition such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly
reactive or extremely low impedance speaker loads could cause
the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable
to isolate and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for assistance in troubleshooting.
Power Switch 1 and Power Indicator
The power switch is located on the front panel of your amplifier. To
turn the amplifier on, push the switch in. The LED indicator above the
switch will light, indicating that the amplifier is turned on. To turn the
amplifier off, push the button again and return it to the out position.
2
Channel and Bridged Mono Indicator Lights 3
When a channel pair is in stereo mode the two channel indicator
lights for those channels will light. When a channel pair is in
Bridged Mono mode, the two Channel Indicator Lights are turned
off and the Bridged Mono Indicator Light for that channel pair is
turned on. Refer to the Input Configuration and Connection section
on the following page for more information.
Level Adjust Controls
The Level Adjust controls enable you to individually adjust the input sensitivity of the three channel pairs. They can be used to set
the sound output balance of the speakers in a home theater system, or control the volume level in the various rooms when the
RB-976 is used to drive the speakers in a multi-room installation.
The setting of the Input Selector Switch does not affect the operation of the Level Adjust controls.

○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Input Configuration and Connection
The six chanels of the RB-976 are grouped into 3 channel pairs labeled A, B and C for easy identification and control.
Note: To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers
will appreciate, make sure the amplifier is turned off when you
make any signal connections or change the setting of the Input
Selector Switches.
Input Selector Switches
When an Input Selector Switch is in the “Stereo”position the two
channels of the channel pair operate independently. When the Input Selector Switch for one or more of the channel pairs is in the
“Bridged” position the two channels are combined into one high
power (150 watt) channel. See the “Bridged Mono Operation”
section of this manual for more information.
The “Link” position of the Input Selector Switch connects the inputs of the channel pairs togther. In this configuration the inputs
connected to the A channels can also drive the B and/or C channels. This is sometimes called a “daisy chain” configuration. It is
typically used in custom installations where one set of stereo inputs is used to drive mutiple pairs of speakers, which are often located in different rooms.

○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Speaker Connection
Speaker Selection
We recommend using loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of
4 ohms or higher with the RB-976. You should exercise some caution in driving multiple pairs of speakers in parallel configuration,
because the effective impedance the amplifier sees is cut in half.
For example, when driving two pair of 8 ohm speakers, the amplifier sees a 4 ohm load. When driving multiple speakers in parallel,
it is recommended that you select speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher. Speaker impedance ratings are less
than precise. In practice, very few loudspeakers will present any
problems for the RB-976. See your authorized Rotel dealer if you
have any questions.
Speaker Wire Selection
Use insulated two-conductor stranded wire to connect the RB-976
to the speakers. The size and quality of the wire can have an audible effect on the performance of the system. Standard speaker
wire will work, but can result in lower output or diminished bass
response, particularly over longer distances. In general, heavier
wire will improve the sound. For best performance, you may want
to consider special high-quality speaker cables. Your authorized
Rotel dealer can help in the selection of appropriate cables for
your system.
To use the input link function move the Input Selector Switch for
the channel pair(s) you want to link to the “Link” position. Note
that the inputs of the B channels may be linked, while the C channels operate independently, or the inputs of the C channels may
be linked, while the B channels operate independently.
Note: When the input linking function is used the linked channel
pairs cannot be bridged.
Input Signal Connection
[See Figure 2 for normal wiring illustration.]
The RB-976 has conventional RCA type input connectors, the type
found on nearly all audio equipment.
Use high quality audio interconnect cables to connect the outputs
of the preamplifier or signal processor to the inputs of the RB-976.
Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly and that
you use the correct channel pair of the RB-976.
6
Polarity and Phasing
The polarity — the positive/negative orientation of the connections — for every speaker and amplifier connection must be consistent so all the speakers will be in phase. If the polarity of one
connection is mistakenly reversed, bass output will be very weak
and stereo imaging degraded. All wire is marked so you can identify the two conductors. There may be ribs or a stripe on the insulation of one conductor. The wire may have clear insulation with
different color conductors (copper and silver). There may be polarity indications printed on the insulation. Identify the positive
and negative conductors and be consistent with every speaker
and amplifier connection.
Stereo Speaker Connection
The RB-976 has six pairs of color coded binding posts on the back
panel. These connectors accept bare wire, connector lugs, or
dual banana type connectors (except in the European Community
countries where their use is not permitted).
Route the wire from the RB-976 to the speakers. Give yourself
enough slack so you can move the components enough to allow
access to the speaker connectors.
If you are using dual banana plugs, connect them to the wires and
then plug into the backs of the binding posts. The hexagonal
thumbscrews of the binding posts should be screwed in all the
way (clockwise).
8
3
SIX CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER RB-976
If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you
are attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate
the wire conductors and strip back the insulation from the end of
each conductor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew (turn counterclockwise) the binding post hexagonal thumbscrews. Place the connector lug or wire around the binding post
shaft. Turn the hexagonal thumbscrews clockwise to clamp the
connector lug or wire firmly in place.
Note: Be sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch
adjacent wires or connectors.
○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Bridged Mono Operation
[See Figure 3 for bridged operation connection illustration.]
The channel pairs of the RB-976 can be “bridged”. In this configuration the single channel produces a massive 150 watts! This feature allows you to increase the overall power output of your
system by bridging the channel pairs of the RB-976 and adding a
second RB-976 that also has bridged channel pairs. Or one of the
RB-976 channel pairs may be bridged to drive a monophonic subwoofer. Note however that when one of the RB-976 channel pairs
is bridged the speaker connected to it must have an impedance of
8 ohms or more.
Note: Turn off all the system components before you change any
signal connections or the setting of the Input Selector Switches.
○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If
you are unable to get sound from the RB-976, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Front Panel Power Indicator Is Not Lit
No main power to the RB-976. Check the front panel power
switch. Make sure that it is set to the on position. Check AC power
connections at the amplifier and the AC outlet.
Fuse Replacement
If everything checks out correctly and you still cannot get the amplifier to turn on, 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
If the amp is getting AC power, but is producing no sound, check
the Channel and Bridged Mono indicator lights on the front panel.
Then check all input and output connections to be sure they are
correct. Finally check the connections to, and the control settings
of, the associated components.
To bridge one of the RB-976 channel pairs move the Input Selector
Switch for that channel to the “Bridged” position.
Input Connection
When using one of the RB-976 channel pairs in bridged mono
mode, connect the cable from the preamplifier or signal processor
output to the left input of the channel pair. No connection is made
to the right input.
Note: It is possible to link inputs B and/or C while A is in the
Bridged Mode. Both left and right inputs are used for A.
Bridged Speaker Connection
When using one of the RB-976 channel pairs in bridged mono
mode, the wire to the speakers is connected to the positve terminals of the left and right channels. Connect the wire that goes to
the postive terminal of the speaker to the positve terminal of the
left channel of the channel pair. Connect the wire that goes to the
negative terminal of the speaker to the positve terminal of the
right channel of the channel pair. No connections are made to the
negative terminals.
