Assignable 12V trigger outputs for remote turn-on of power amplifier(s)
and other components.
Unpacking
Remove the unit carefully from its packaging. Find the remote control and
other accessories. Save the box as it will protect the product if you move
or need to return it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture,
or vibration. Make sure that the shelf can support the weight of the unit.
Place the unit close to the other components in your system and, if possible,
on its own shelf or with the optionally included rack ears. This will make
initial connection, and subsequent system changes easier.
The unit can generate heat during normal operation. Do not block ventilation
openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed space
around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate
ventilation.
Do not stack other components or objects on top of the unit. Do not let any
liquid fall into the cabinet.
Overview of Connections
Each of the source components in the system are connected to the unit's
inputs with a pair of standard RCA cables or balanced XLR cables for
analog audio, an HDMI video connection and an optional digital audio
cable (coax or optical).
NOTE: Surround formats like Dolby Digital and DTS are digital formats
and the unit can only decode them when a digital input signal is
available. For this reason, you should always connect your Blu-ray or
DVD player's digital outputs to the unit, using either the HDMI, optical
or coax inputs.
The outputs of the RSP-1582 processor are sent to power amplifier(s) with
balanced XLR connectors or standard RCA cables from the audio outputs.
The video signal from the RSP-1582 is sent to the monitor using the HDMI
connections.
In addition, the processor has MULTI INPUT connections for use with a
source component that does its own surround decoding, remote IR receiver
inputs, 12V trigger outputs and Rotel Link.
NOTE: Do NOT plug any system component into an AC source until
all connections have been properly made. The S/PDIF digital audio
interface standard specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all good digital
cables adhere to this requirement. Do NOT substitute conventional audio
interconnect cables for digital signals. Standard audio interconnects will
pass these signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce performance.
When using analog audio connections ensure the Left and Right signals are
attached to the proper RCA jacks. All RCA-type connections on this product
follow these standard color codes:
Left channel audio: white RCA jack
Right channel audio: red RCA jack
NOTE: Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT
SETUP menu of the OSD menu system. We recommend going to this
menu after connecting each source to configure it as desired. See Input
Setup in the Setup section for more information.
HDMI Inputs and Outputs
These connections are used for connecting video signals to and from the
unit. See the Making Connections section for specific instructions for each
type of component.
Rear HDMI IN 1–7 Video Inputs
HDMI inputs provide various digital video connections for use with components
that have HDMI outputs. HDMI connections carry video signals in multiple
formats including 3D, 1080p/24Hz, and 4K. The implementation of HDMI
supports audio signals, or a separate audio connection from an HDMI
component.
Front HDMI IN
9
One HDMI input is located on the front panel for easier access. Use
this HDMI connection for portable sources or devices that would not be
permanently connected.
HDMI Monitor Outputs
w
The two HDMI outputs of the RSP-1582 send High Definition video signals
to your TV monitor in parallel. The HDMI outputs can send video signals
to a high-definition TV 2D (480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p or 4K) and
3D (up to 1080p/24Hz).
NOTE: There are two HDMI outputs on the rear panel sending out
the same video signal. Only one of the two will send the On Screen
Menu to your TV.
Of the two HDMI Outputs, only one HDMI output supports ARC (Audio
Return Channel) and is labeled "ARC" above the HDMI connector. Please
refer to the VIDEO SETUP menu section of this manual for more details.
NOTE: Your TV may have more than one HDMI input. Not all HDMI
inputs support ARC. Please use the ARC enabled HDMI input of your TV
to use the ARC function on this product. ARC compatible inputs should
be labeled with "ARC" next to the HDMI input connector.
Additional information for HDMI video outputs:
•
All HDMI attached devices must be HDCP compatible to ensure proper
display of the HDMI video signal.
•
Audio received over HDMI will be processed by this product and sent
out via the RCA or XLR outputs. To pass the audio signal to an attached
TV the RSP-1582 must be set to "HDMI Audio Output Only" in the
VIDEO SETUP menu in the OSD.
•
When using both HDMI outputs simultaneously, both HDMI outputs
will be set to the same resolution. This resolution will be the lower
resolution of any attached monitor.
