A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the
loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system
components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct
and secure.
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and
operating instructions, it provides valuable information on various RT-1570
system configurations as well as general information that will help you get
the optimum performance from your system. Please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all
of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RT-1570 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for
future use. Shipping or moving the RT-1570 in anything other than the
original packing material may result in severe damage to your unit and
void the warranty.
If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner`s registration
card. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record
of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service
is ever required.
Placement
Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture,
or vibration.
Don't let any liquid fall into the unit.
Note the weight and size of the unit. If placing the unit on a shelf, cabinet
or rack, make sure the full weight of the unit can be supported.
If installed in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
o
Your unit is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the
country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60 Hz, Europe: 230
volts/50 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a label on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your unit to another country, it may be possible
to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to
perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit
exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for information.
RT-1570 Network/FM/DAB+ Tuner
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are included with more than one AC cord. Please use only
the one appropriate for your country/region.
The RT-1570 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet
or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio system. Do
not use an extension cord.
Be sure the POWER SWITCH
turned off (in the "out" position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to
the Power Connector
o
on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time
such as a month-long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug the RT-
1570 (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch and Power Indicator
The power switch is located on the left side of the front panel. To turn the
unit ON (or to activate the automatic power-on modes), push the switch in.
The ring around the switch will light up, indicating that the unit is turned on.
To turn the unit off, push the button again and return it to the "out" position.
NOTE: Place the self adhesive ring over the light surrounding the power
switch if the blue light is too bright.
12V Trigger Input and Output
The jack labeled IN is for connecting the 3.5mm Plug/Cable carrying a +12
volt trigger signal from a preamp or surround sound processor to turn the
unit on and off. This input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging
from 3 volts to 30 volts.
The jack labeled OUT is for connecting another 3.5mm plug/cable to
provide a 12V trigger signal to other components. Any 12V Trigger signal
at the INPUT jack will be passed through to the OUT jack.
Connection Overview
See figure 3.
Before continuing further to other sections in the manual, please make sure
all the cable connections are made properly.
DAB/FM Broadcasting
q
Please use the supplied indoor antennas to connect the DAB and FM connector
on the rear panel. To receive the best FM signal, make sure there is enough
room for the T-shaped indoor antenna to fully extend. Eyelets at both ends
of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall if desired. Experiment with
different positions to maximize reception.
NOTE: For improved reception performance consider using an external
antenna for FM and DAB.
