    Blue ring on power button- Dim?

    Is there anyway to Dim the blue ring light around the front power button.
    I searched the manual but only found that pressing MENU will turn off display- not the light. (It's very bright in dark room)

    I think Rotel had some stick on plastic rings (yes, seriously) to dim it. You could try calling customer support and see if they still have any

      You could take the thing apart and install a higher-value resistor in series with the power LED... but it's probably easier just to find or make a darkening ring.

        Yes they have rings, and they are not much bigger then the light it self. It helps dim them a lot, they will no longer be flashlights. They're not hard plastic, but a plastic/vinyl sticker. You would never notice it unless someone pointed it out.

        Should be able to call or email Rotel (or your dealer) and get some on the way. I believe they are free upon request.

          Kev,
          thanks for chiming in...
          I also was curious about these.
          they came with my 1575.

          do they COMPLETELY block off the LED, or just tame it a bit? edges?
          I'd like to know the amp's on. But I don't want it blaring in my face.
          just thought I'd ask before I apply it myself..

          much thanks,
          L

            Just tamed. It's still very easy to tell if it's on or not. I lost one of mine in the mail and haven't even thought about it in a while. I'll grab a picture to show the difference.
