NOTE: MAC computers do not require a driver to support PC‑USB
1.0 or 2.0 audio.
NOTE: Upon successful installation of the driver, you may need to select
the ROTEL audio driver from the audio/speaker setup of your computer.

Computer I/O Connector w

The RA‑1570 can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation
systems. The COMPUTER I/O input accepts a standard straight DB-9 Male-
to-Female cable.
For additional information on the connections, software, and operating codes
for computer control of the RA‑1570, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

ROTEL LINK t

This 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack (labeled ROTEL LINK IN) can optionally attach
to Rotel network enabled products with ROTEL LINK OUT connections. This
allows the attached Rotel products to communicate with each other and
be controlled via the Rotel Remote App (available for download on the
iTunes store).

EXT REM IN Jack u

This 3.5mm mini-jack receives command codes from industry-standard infrared
receivers via hard-wired connections. This feature could prove useful when
the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult
your authorized Rotel dealer for information on these external repeaters and
the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.

Protection Circuit

The amplifier has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that
protects the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty
operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio
signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection
circuits monitor the temperature of the output devices and shut down the
amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However,
should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing and will
display "AMP PROTECTION" on the front panel
If this happens, turn the amplifier off. Let it cool down for several minutes,
and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection
circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection
circuit will automatically reset.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition
such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an
overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low
impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate
and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for
assistance in troubleshooting.
