RS232 t

The RA-1592 can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation
systems. The RS232 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-1592, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

ROTEL LINK w

The ROTEL LINK OUT connection can be made with the stereo 3.5 mm
cable (supplied) to a Rotel integrated amplifier and CD player. While the
ROTEL LINK IN can optionally attach to Rotel network enabled products
with ROTEL LINK OUT connections.
These allow the attached Rotel products to communicate with each other
and be controlled via the Rotel Remote App (available for download on
the iTunes store).
®
NOTE: Only the Rotel Link cables supplied with this product should be
used. These 3.5 mm cables have WHITE connector ends and should
not be confused with the 12 Volt Trigger cables that have BLACK
connector ends.

EXT REM IN Jack e

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.

Network Connection =

The RA-1592 can be attached to a network using the rear panel NETWORK
=
socket . The NETWORK configurations allow both STATIC and DHCP
IP addressing. See the Network section of this manual under Setting Menu
for IP address configuration information.
The NETWORK connections allows software updates to be downloaded from
the Internet. The Network connection also allows IP control for integration
with automation systems.
For additional information on the IP connection please contact your
authorized Rotel dealer.

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.
RA‑1592 Stereo Integrated Amplifier
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.

panel or on the remote to toggle between the tone setup options. (For
more information on Tone Control refer to the Tone Control Bypass, Bass
and Treble control sections.)
NOTE: These settings are stored permanently even after the RA‑1592
is powered off.
• BALANCE: Change left/right balance (For more information on Balance
sections refer to the Balance Control section).
NOTE: This setting is stored permanently even after the RA‑1592 is

• DIMMER: Dims the display.
NOTE: This setting is stored permanently even after the RA‑1592 is
powered off.
• ROTEL LINK RCD: Selects how the CD player is connected to the amplifier,
either CD (analog), COAX1, COAX2, or BAL-XLR. CD is the factory default.
• POWER ON MAX VOLUME: This sets the maximum volume level when
the unit is turned ON. "45" is the factory default.
NOTE: Power On Max Volume settings do not apply to sources
configured with Fixed Gain.
• POWER OPTION: Enables the RA-1592 to be controlled via the network
port when attached to an automation system. The power consumption is
higher in Quick Power mode. If network control is not required select the
Normal Power mode. "Normal" is the factory default.
