Audio Inputs and Outputs
This Rotel processor provides both analog and digital audio connections.
PHONO Input
a
A Left/Right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a phono player.
If the turntable has a "ground" wire, connect it to the screw terminal labeled
"GND" to the left of the Digital inputs.
TUNER Input
a
A Left/Right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a tuner.
CD Input
a
A Left/Right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a CD player.
ANALOG 1–4 Audio Inputs
a
Four pairs of RCA inputs (ANALOG 1–4) provide connections for Left/Right
analog audio signals from four additional source components.
BALANCED Input
s
A Left/Right pair of Balanced XLR audio inputs for connecting a source
component with Balanced XLR audio outputs.
MULTI Input
d
A set of RCA inputs accepting up to 7.1 channels of analog signals from a
source component capable of decoding multi channel audio. These inputs
support FRONT L & R, CENTER, SUB, REAR L & R, and CENTER BACK 1 &
2 or FRONT VERTICAL HEIGHT L & R in a Dolby PLIIz setup.
These inputs bypass all digital processing in the processor and are routed
directly to the volume control and outputs.
PREAMP Output
g
A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs sends the RSP-1582's line level
output signals to external amplifiers and powered subwoofers. These output
levels are variable and adjusted by the RSP-1582's volume control. The ten
connectors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER 1 & 2, SURROUND
(REAR) L & R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2 (or FRONT VERTICAL HEIGHT L
& R), and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.
BALANCED Output
f
A group of nine Balanced XLR analog audio outputs sends the RSP-1582's
balanced output signals to external amplifiers and powered subwoofers.
These output levels are variable and adjusted by the RSP-1582's volume
control. The nine connectors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER,
SURROUND (REAR) L & R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2(or FRONT VERTICAL
HEIGHT L & R), and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.
NOTE: Do not connect both the RCA and XLR to the same amplifier
at the same time.
NOTE: Depending on your system configuration, you may use some
or all of these connections. For example, if you only have one center
channel, connect it to the CENTER 1 output. If you only have one center
back channel, connect it to the CB1 output.
DIGITAL Inputs
e
The RSP-1582 accepts digital inputs from source components such as CD
players, satellite TV tuners, and DVD players. The DSP in the RSP-1582
detects the sampling rate of the incoming signal and automatically adjusts.
Sampling rates up to 192kHz are supported.
RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor
NOTE: Digital inputs support both 2 Channel Stereo and Multi Channel
audio signals. When using the digital input the processor DSP will
decode the incoming audio stream including Dolby Digital or DTS.
There are six digital audio inputs on the rear panel, three coaxial and
three optical. These digital inputs can be assigned to any of the VIDEO
1 - 8 input sources using the INPUT SETUP menu during the setup process.
For example, you can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector to the
VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source. By
default, the source of the audio for inputs Video 1 - 8 is set to HDMI Audio.
At the factory the CD audio input is set to CD (analog RCA), but this can
be changed to XLR, Coax 1 - 3, or Optical 1 - 3.
PC-USB Input
r
See Figure 5
Connect this input using the supplied USB cable to the USB socket of your
computer.
The RSP-1582 supports both USB Audio Class 1.0 and USB Audio Class
2.0 modes. Windows computers do not require installation of a driver for
USB Audio Class 1.0 and support playback of audio up to 96kHz sampling
rates. The Factory Default setting is USB Audio Class 2.0.
To take advantage of USB Audio Class 2.0 audio playback supporting
up to 192kHz sampling rates you will need to install the Windows driver
supplied on the CD included with the RSP-1582. You will also need to switch
the RSP-1582 to USB Audio Class 2.0 playback mode with the following:
•
Press MENU on the front panel to enter MAIN MENU and use Up/
Down buttons to select the INPUT SETUP menu then press ENTER.
•
Use Left/Right buttons to select "PC-USB" as INPUT SOURCE and select
"USB Audio 2.0" as AUDIO INPUT.
•
Power cycle the RSP-1582 and reboot your PC after changing the USB
Audio mode to ensure both units are properly configured.
Many audio playback applications do not support 192kHz sampling rate.
Please confirm your audio player supports 192kHz audio and you have
192kHz audio files to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may
need to configure the audio driver in your PC to output 192kHz or your
computer may "down sample" to a lower audio sample rate. For more
information please refer to your audio player or operating system information.
NOTE: USB Audio Class 2.0 requires installation of the Windows PC
driver on the CD ROM included with the RSP-1582.
NOTE: MAC computers do not require a driver to support USB Audio
Class 1.0 or 2.0 audio but also may require selection of Rotel as the
audio output device.
NOTE: Upon successful installation of the driver, you may need to select
the ROTEL audio driver from the audio/speaker setup of your computer.
