RT-1082 DAB/AM/FM Stereo Tuner  
A Few Precautions  
Placement  
AM Loop Antenna  
u
Please read this manual carefully. In addition  
to installation and operating instructions, it  
provides valuable information on various  
RT-1082 system configurations as well as gen-  
eral information that will help you get optimum  
performance for 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.  
Place the RT-1082 on a solid, dry, level surface  
away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high  
humidity or strong vibrations. The RT-1082 can  
generate some heat during normal operation.  
If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is  
adequateventilation. Makesurethereisenough  
room behind the RT-1082 for easy hookup.  
Place the unit close to the other components  
in your audio/video system and, if possible,  
place it on its own shelf. This will make initial  
cable routing, hookup, and any subsequent  
system changes easier. It also minimizes  
potential interference or heat buildup from  
other components.  
The RT-1082 includes a loop antenna to receive  
AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from  
the box and locate it near the RT-1082.  
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire  
from the loop antenna to the pair of screw  
terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one  
wire to each terminal. It does not matter which  
wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure  
that the connections are solid and that the two  
wires do not touch  
Save the RT-1082 packaging material for  
future use. Shipping or moving the RT-1082  
in anything other than the original packaging  
material may result in severe damage that is  
not covered by the warranty.  
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient  
the antenna to find the best position.  
Don’t stack heavy objects on top of the RT-  
1082. Do not expose the unit to moisture;  
this could damage the circuitry and cause a  
safety hazard.  
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect  
its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the G  
and AM terminals in place of the loop an-  
tenna, only after a professional contractor  
has installed the antenna system in accor-  
dance with local electrical codes.  
and keep your original sales receipt. It is your  
proof of purchase in the event that warranty  
service is required.  
Rear Panel Connections  
The RT-1082 provides rear panel connections  
for audio line level output, an FM antenna, an  
AM antenna, a DAB antenna, a 12V Trigger,  
a remote IR sensor, DAB digital outputs and  
AC power input.  
Key Features  
• AM, FM and DAB tuning capabilities.  
• User-friendly Fluorescent Display.  
• 30 Station Presets for memorizing your  
favorite AM/FM stations; 99 presets for  
DAB stations.  
DAB Antenna  
i
Included is a DAB indoor antenna. If you  
cannot obtain good reception using this sup-  
plied antenna, it is recommended to use an  
outdoor DAB antenna. The outdoor antenna  
can be connected with a F-Type connector  
(male) then to the “Antenna DAB” connection  
on the rear panel.  
• Manual frequency and preset tuning,  
auto-search tuning, preset scanning and  
frequency direct tuning.  
• RDS (Radio Data System) capability for  
Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data  
Service) capability for the USA.  
• DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast); a digital  
transmission available throughout Europe  
and Canada as well as many other sup-  
ported regions.  
NOTE: Do not plug any system component  
into an AC source until system hookup is  
complete and you are confident that all  
component-to-component connections have  
been properly made.  
RCA Outputs  
o
Line level RCA audio outputs send a fixed-  
level stereo signal from the RT-1082 to your  
pre-amplifier, system controller, or integrated  
amplifier.  
FM Antenna  
y
The RT-1082 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor  
FM antenna. Remove this antenna from the box  
and connect its attached coax F-type plug to  
the FM antenna connector on the RT-1082. For  
best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna.  
Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the  
antenna to a wall if desired. Experiment with  
positioning for best reception.  
• Stereo/mono switching.  
Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect  
the LEFT OUTPUT jack to the left channel tuner  
input on your system controller and the RIGHT  
OUTPUT jack to the right channel tuner input  
on your system controller.  
• 12-volt trigger connections for remote turn  
on/off by Rotel preamplifiers and surround  
processors.  
• Full- function wireless remote control.  
Unpacking  
DAB Digital Outputs  
p
Remove the unit from its packing. Look for  
the handheld remote control and other ac-  
cessories. Install the supplied batteries in the  
remote control. Save the packing and box as  
it will protect the RT-1082 if you move or need  
to return it for maintenance.  
One coaxial and one S/PDIF output capable  
of outputting available DAB (Digital Audio  
Broadcast) stations. DAB provides interference  
free, near CD quality audio as well as any  
corresponding broadcast data.  
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect  
its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM con-  
nector in place of the indoor wire antenna,  
only after a professional contractor has in-  
stalled the antenna system in accordance  
with local electrical codes. In the USA, you  
will need to use the supplied F-type convert-  
er to connect the 75 ohm coax cable to the  
antenna input.

SPORT, EDUCATION, DRAMA, CULTURE,  
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP, ROCK, EASY  
LISTENING, LIGHT CLASSICAL, SERIOUS  
CLASSICAL, OTHER MUSIC, WEATHER,  
FINANCE, CHILDREN, SOCIAL AFFAIRS,  
RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE,

OLDIES, FOLK, and DOCUMENTARY). If  
the current station is not broadcasting an  
RDS signal, the display will show a blinking  
PT indication.  
4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display  
broadcast by the station. If the current  
station is not broadcasting an RDS signal,  
the display will show a blinking CT indica-  
tion.  
5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text

current station is not broadcasting an RDS  
signal, the display will show a blinking RT  
indication.  
5. Cancel the PTY function by pressing any  
button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).  
In addition, RDS provides several advanced  
search features including  
TP Button  
5G  
Searches for an RDS station broadcasting  
traffic information programming:  
1. The ability to search for a station with the  
desired program content (PTY).  
2. The ability to search for traffic information  
(TP).  
3. The ability to automatically search stations  
broadcasting special traffic announcements  
(TA).  
1. Press the TP button. The tuner will attempt  
to find an RDS station broadcasting the  
traffic programming.  
2. If no station is located, the tuner will return  
to the last previously tuned station.  
3. Cancel the TP function by pressing any  
button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).  
RDS broadcasting has been widely available  
in many European markets for years. There  
are a large number of RDS stations and most  
users will be familiar with the features and  
operation. In the USA, implementation of the  
RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations are  
currently broadcasting RBDS signals and the  
features may be less familiar to many users.  
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more  
information on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in  
your market.  
TA Button  
5G  
Searches for an RDS station broadcasting  
special traffic announcements:  
1. Press the TA button. The tuner will attempt  
to find an RDS station broadcasting traffic  
announcements.  
2. If no station is located, the tuner will return  
to the last previously tuned station.  
3. Cancel the TA function by pressing any  
button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).  
NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are en-  
tirely dependent on the broadcaster sending  
properly encoded signals. Thus, they will  
only be available in markets where RDS or  
RBDS is currently implemented and where  
stations are broadcasting these data sig-  
nals. If there are no RDS or RBDS stations,  
the RT-1082 will function as a standard ra-  
dio receiver.

DAB Basic Information  
DAB is short for ‘Digital Audio Broadcast’ and  
is a new form of radio broadcasting which  
utilizes digital technology. DAB is capable of  
providing near CD quality audio with virtually  
interference free reception.  
DAB operates in frequency band III (174  
– 240MHz). Band III is divided into 41 chan-  
nels labeled 5A to 13F.  
• Program type: Displays genre or other  
program information.  
• Ensemblename:Multiplexidentification  
is displayed.  
Setup Operation  
DAB channels are categorized into ensembles,  
which are also known as multiplexes. Each  
multiplex provides a number of stations and  
each service contains a primary service that  
can contain secondary services. DAB technol-  
ogy allows broadcasters to transmit additional  
data along with the audio, which can include  
other audio channels, text and in the future,  
even images and computer data.  
• Frequency: Indicates the frequency that  
the selected multiplex is transmitted on.  
• Bit rate: The rate at which bits (informa-  
tion) are transmitted. This is expressed  
in thousands of bits per second (Kbps),  
which effectively shows the quality of the  
broadcast. The higher the bit rate is the  
better the sound quality is.  
• Dynamic label segment: This is the  
text that scrolls across the FL display giving  
givesinformationontheplaylistandcurrent  
program content. This feature is subject to  
the service provider and station.  
NOTE: The set-up menu features advanced  
settings. In most installations the factory de-  
fault will be the optimal required setting for  
the RT-1082.  
SETUP Button 0  
The SETUP button on the front panel accesses  
the Setup menu used for the advanced settings  
of the RT-1082.  
NOTE: When the DAB tuner is used for the  
first time the FL display will ask whether you  
want to auto-tune to find the available ser-  
vice in your area. For most applications  
auto-tune should only need to be carried out  
once. Select <YES> to confirm the selection.  
The tuner will then search automatically for  
available stations on the DAB network. The  
number of stations received will depend on  
the location of your aerial and the available  
multiplexes in your area. For optimal recep-  
tion we recommend using a dedicated out-  
door aerial.  
SETUP Menu  
• Signal strength: Indicates the input  
signal level to the DAB module in block  
format.  
Press the SETUP button on the front panel to  
view the menu settings in the FL display. The  
operation can be cancelled by pressing SETUP  
again. The menu will also automatically be  
exited after a short period of when there is  
no key press.

to scroll through the different menu settings.
