While connected, the iPod and iPhone displays remain active allowing
search and play functions.
Other Connections
VOLTAGE Selector
h
The unit is set to the proper voltage for use in the country where the unit was
purchased. The end user should not change the voltage setting.
CAUTION: The rear panel includes an AC voltage selection switch. Confirm
this switch is set to the proper AC voltage before attaching the power cord.
AC Input
j
Your Rotel processor is configured at the factory for the proper AC line
voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC). The AC line configuration is noted on a
decal on the back of your unit. Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit.
Master Power Switch
\
The large rocker switch on the rear panel is a master power switch. When
it is in the OFF position, power to the unit is completely off. When it is in
the ON position, the front panel STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF
buttons can be used to activate the unit or put it into standby mode.
12V TRIGGER Output
u
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using a
12 volt trigger. These three connections provide this 12 volt trigger signal
from the processor. When the unit is activated, a 12 volt DC signal is sent
from these jacks to the amplifiers to automatically turn them on. When the
processor is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is removed and the
amplifiers automatically turn off.
To use the automatic trigger turn on feature, connect one of the RSP-1582's
12V TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using
only the black 3.5 mm trigger cable included with this unit or a Rotel
amplifier. Do not use any other cable for trigger connection. The +12V
DC signal appears at the "tip" connector.
NOTE: The 12V Trigger outputs are configured to turn on in various
combinations only when specific input sources are activated. See the
INPUT SETUP menus in the Setup section of this manual for details.
REM IN Jack
i
This 3.5 mm mini-jack receives command codes from third-party IR remote
receiver. These remote IR inputs can be used when the RSP-1582 front IR
receiver cannot be reached by a sending remote control.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more information on the REM IN jack.
NOTE: The IR signals from the REM IN jack can be relayed to other
source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections
from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional
information.
IR OUT Jacks
o
The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals received at the REM IN jack to
an infrared blaster or emitter placed in front of a source component's IR
sensor. In addition, the IR OUT can be hard-wired to other Rotel products
with REM IN jack.
These outputs allow IR signals to be "relayed" through the RSP-1582 either
directly to the IR receiver on the front panel or via the REM IN jack on the
rear panel. This function provides easy control of other source components
when their IR inputs are not accessible such as when they are installed in
a rack system or in a cabinet.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for more information on IR emitters and
repeater systems.
RS232 Connector
t
The RSP-1582 can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation
systems. The RS232 connector accepts a standard straight DB-9 Male-to-
Female cable.
NETWORK Connector
y
The Network socket accepts standard RJ-45, CAT-5 cables. Network
connection is not required for normal operation of this unit. This connection
is for software updates or control from an automation system only.
For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and
operating codes for automation system control or software updates, contact
your authorized Rotel dealer.
Making Connections
Connecting an Amplifier
See Figure 3 and Figure 4
The RSP-1582 has preamp RCA outputs and Balanced XLR outputs for
connections to power amplifiers to drive up to eight (seven if using XLR)
speakers in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel surround sound audio system:
right/left front channels, 2 center channels (1 center if using XLR), right/
left surround channels, and two center back (or front height) channels. In
addition, there are two subwoofer outputs.
To connect amplifiers, connect an audio cable from each output jack to the
input of the amplifier channel that will power the corresponding speaker. For
example, connect the FRONT L output to the amplifier channel driving the
front left speaker. In a full home theater system, you will make up to seven
different connections in addition to the subwoofer. These connections for
a 5.1 channel system are labeled FRONT L and FRONT R, CENTER, and
REAR L and REAR R. There are two CENTER RCA jacks; use either jack for
a single center channel, or both if you have two center channels. In six or
seven channel systems, make one or two additional connections for Center
Back channel(s). These jacks are labeled CB1/LVH and CB2/RVH. Use
CB1 for a single center back channel.
In a Dolby PLIIz system, you can have Left Vertical Height (LVH) and Right
Vertical Height (RVH) speakers instead of CB1 and CB2.
Make sure that you have each output connected to the correct amplifier
channel:
