Rear USB Power Port ]

The rear USB port provides 5V/0.5 amps for charging or powering
USB devices including streaming music players. This port does not allow
playback of audio.
The port can be configured to remain powered even when the RA-1572
is in standby mode through the front panel setup menu (See USB POWER
on page 16).
This configuration option allows the attached streaming source to remain
powered for use with the Signal Sense function for automatic power on/
off control of the amplifier.
NOTE: When configured to provide continuous power to the rear panel
USB port the RA‑1572 will consume additional power even when in
standby mode.
