Having purchased a used example via ebay I chanced upon a old post review from years back. Within the review it was stated that the amp cannot be powered up without the remote?
Needless to say my purchase does not include a remote.
Comments advise please.
The Rotel is a stop gap until my name comes up the order list for a Hegel 90

Now connected up my ‘new’ amp. Decided to check the wiring and fuse in the mains plug before switching on. Pleased I did, I found the live wire and neutral connected to the wrong pins!!!! how very odd is that.
Any way connected correctly and gave the amp its first go. Whoaaaaaa! sounds a so.utely fantastic with my old marantz cd65 player and quad 21l speakers. opened up the music brilliantly and now hearing instruments on the CD tracks that I have not heard before. It is simply awesome.
Thanks to all contributors for advise and comments, my woes have been addressed for the princely sum of £236 and I get to sell my NAD now for £50 or so.
Problem I have now is I have caught the hi fi bug, can I get improvement by changing the speakers

You haven't caught the HiFi bug, but what you have done is created synergy with your various components.Problem I have now is I have caught the hi fi bug, can I get improvement by changing the speakers
Trust me, you'll "upgrade", go through the same pain again and be momentarily happy, and then upgrade and.......
Now you're happy with the sound, sit back and enjoy it, and forget about what might be.
What speakers are you currently using?
I was using a pair of b&w 602s3’s and the pairing was superb.
Demo’d a pair of Monitir Audio RX8. Sweet Jesus they could fill a room. And the Rotel had all the power to do it. I wish I never sold mine. A great a amp. Try and track down an original review from hifi choice.

I have a pair of quad 21L floor standers and as Tony suggested the amp that I was running at the time, NAD3130, could be bettered with a stronger amp. He was spot on.I was using a pair of b&w 602s3’s and the pairing was superb.

Placements of the speakers yet to be completed but I am so pleased already.
