United Kingdom. They are thoroughly tested before shipment in order
to provide you the best musical satisfaction and a lasting value. We have
gone to every length to ensure that your amplifier will be easy to operate,
enabling you to enjoy your music immediately.
We do, however, recommend that you read these instructions carefully.
Your experience will benefit from knowing the details of operation of your
new Oxygene Integrated Amplifier.
Unpacking

INSTALLATION
Installation
Keep power switched off when connecting or disconnecting the unit to
other components. This will prevent unpleasant and loud noises coming
from the loudspeakers and avoid the risk of damage to the equipment.
Power cord
The separate power cord supplied connects to the AC power socket on the
rear panel. Make all other connections before fitting the mains power cord.
ON/OFF
Press the ON/OFF button, underneath and to the right front side of the
Oxygene Integrated Amplifier to power it up. When switching the unit off
please reduce the volume level to less than 20.
Standby
The Oxygene products do not have a standby function. This is because
we constantly strive to make our products environmentally friendly; and
the best way to save on electricity is to turn off the unit when not in use.
Many audio products require a long warm up period in order to perform at
their best. This is not the case with the Oxygene series as these units have
been designed using the latest digital technology.
Service and repairs
All service and repair work must be performed by a qualified technician,
authorized by ROKSAN. The warranty will become void, if the unit has been
modified or tampered with.

Mains Voltage
The Oxygene Integrated Amplifier is factory set for a specific voltage and
will only work with that voltage (±10%). The correct AC mains voltage is
printed on the label situated at the bottom of the unit.
Make sure your AC mains voltage is correct before connecting the unit.
four versions of the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier are available:
• 100 V 50/60 Hz
• 115 V 50/60 Hz
• 240 V 50/60 Hz
• 230 V 50/60 Hz.
In case you move to a country that has a different AC supply voltage,
contact your ROKSAN dealer or the authorized distributor for a professional
conversion to the new supply voltage.
Loudspeakers
The rear panel of the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier has one pair of safety
banana output sockets on either side. Please make sure not to short the
wires when you connect your loudspeakers. Please use the special Roksan
safety plugs for the loudspeaker cables.
Subwoofers
The Oxygene Integrated Amplifier has two RCA output connectors L/R
labeled “OUT”. These can be used for connecting active subwoofers. The
signal is volume regulated – known as a pre-out signal. This output can also

General
Receiver
The remote receiver is located behind the 3 small holes on the front top
right corner of either amplifier or CD player.
Display and Dimmer
The Oxygene display has three brightness modes; Bright, Dim & off.
When selecting any function either by remote control or touch of “LESS”,
“IS” or “MORE” on the unit, the display will go bright to acknowledge
contact allowing for functions to be selected. The dot matrix display will
appropriately show “VOLUME” or “LINE INPUT”.
Batteries
The Oxygene’s minimalist remote carries two (2) CR 2430 button type
batteries. To replace the battery access is achieved via the rear panel;
remove four small screws, lift rear panel and carefully remove battery. Insert
new battery taking care that the + (positive) is facing up as before. Replace
rear panel and tighten screws until they stop turning, do not over tighten.
be used for adding an amplifier for another room, or for bi-amping.
Cables
Please use the ROKSAN interconnects & loudspeaker cables. As better
components and systems are developed, it becomes increasingly important
to avoid the limitations of inferior system interconnections and cables.

How to set up your Bluetooth devices
The Oxygene Integrated Amplifier is fitted with the latest Bluetooth aptX
technology.
In order to stream your music wirelessly from your Bluetooth devices to the
Oxygene Integrated Amplifier you need to first pair them to the Bluetooth
module in the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier. This is very easy and shouldn’t
take more than a few seconds.
Streaming from mobile phones and other BT enabled devices
Make sure the line input on the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier is at “BT”.
Activate Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device and search for devices. The
Oxygene Integrated Amplifier will be visible as “ROKSAN” on your mobile
phone. If asked for the code, please enter ‘0000’. Please note that the
Oxygene Integrated Amplifier will take a few moments to connect to your
mobile phone for the first time. When the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier
and the mobile phone have been paired you can play wirelessly at anytime
in the future without having to pair the devices again.

Changing between Bluetooth Devices
You can easily switch between playing on different Bluetooth devices.
The Bluetooth module in the Oxygene Integrated Amplifier receives one
signal at a time. Please disconnect one device from the Oxygene Integrated
Amplifier before you play from another, e.g. disconnect one phone before
you can connect and play music from a different phone. Up to 16 Bluetooth
devices will be saved in the Oxygene memory.
Note: Sound output volume/quality produced on the Bluetooth channel
can differ with the use of different brand/make of Bluetooth devices. e.g
devices with aptX technology will sound superior.
Recommendation: For optimum results use lossless audio format.
