This is a variable voltage unit, meaning it can be run on100v, 120v, 220v & 240v.You would need to look at an owners manual if you wanted to run it on any voltagebesides 120v, as you might need to change a fuse or might need to know other important information.(FYI: Voltage input selector says 117v, however this varies a bit... by location in the US, ranging from 117v up to about 121v, depending on where you live.)
All functions work correctly, and all lights work too.Lights have a warm amber glow that really adds to the classic stereo feel.This is a phenomenal sounding receiver.Crystal clear sound quality at all volume levels, with excellent sonics and detail.There is a small spot of paint loss on the top cabinet but otherwise this receiver is in excellent cosmetic condition.
The RX-1603 was among the largest receivers ever made.(When initially produced it was the largest receiver made.)These were built to exceptionally high standards.Top of the line Sanken output transistors were chosen for use in these, then hand selected and hand tested prior to installation.Outrageously large filter capacitors were used, and a specially designed torroidal transformer was used as well.Because of the extremely high build quality, many say that the power rating of 180wpcis actually quite conservative.
These can be seperated into 2 pieces, but you will need the Rotel RK-100 Seperation Kit to do so.(I do not have the kit).
Source inputs are all located in the top middle for easier access.Lots of options for hooking up numerous sources, 2 phono outputs, 2 tape outputs, Aux Input, and more.Three sets of speaker outputs on the back give you a lot of options if you own multiple sets of speakers.This has 2 headphone jacks and even a front microphone jack with mixing control.
Weight is about 73lbs.Dimensions are 24" wide x 21" deep x 7.5" high.This has feet on the underside as well as the back, so if needed you can store it standing up.
