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.

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

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.
Use the UP and DOWN keys on the front panel
to scroll through the different menu settings.
Press the enter button to confirm a selection.
