MULTI Inputs

t
A set of RCA inputs accept up to 7.1 channels of analog signals from
a DVD-A or SACD player. There are inputs for FRONT L & R, CENTER,
SUB, REAR L & R, and CENTER BACK 1 & 2.
These inputs bypass all digital processing in the processor and are
routed directly to the Volume control and preamp outputs.
There are two subwoofer options for the MULTI input. Normally, the .1
channel input is passed through directly to the subwoofer output. An
optional bass redirect feature duplicates the seven main channels, sums
them, and sends this mono signal through a 100Hz analog low filter to
the subwoofer output. This provides an unaltered analog bypass for the
seven main channels along with a subwoofer signal derived from those
channels.

Preamp Outputs

p
A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs sends the RSP-1570's line level
output signals to external amplifiers and powered subwoofers. These
outputs are variable level, adjusted by the RSP-1570's volume control.
The ten connectors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER 1 & 2,
SURROUND (REAR) L & R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2, and SUBWOOFER
1 & 2.
Note: Depending on your system configuration, you may use
some or all of these connections. For example, if you only have
one center channel, connect it to the CENTER 1 output. If you only
have one center back channel, connect it to the CB1 output.
ZONE 2–4 Audio Outputs
=
Three pair of RCA jacks, labeled ZONE OUT send analog audio signals
to audio systems in up to three remote zones. These outputs can be
configured as either fixed or variable level using the ZONE SETUP menu.
Note: Only analog input signals are available at the Zone 2, 3,
and 4 outputs. Source components connected to only the digital
inputs are not available in the remote zones.
To configure your system for remote zone operation, connect the left
and right Zone 2 , 3, or 4 outputs on the RSP-1570 to the left and right
channel inputs of the amplifier powering the remote zone speakers,
using standard RCA audio cables. There are also Composite video and
S-Video outputs for each of the zones.

Other Connections

AC Input

\
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.
Note: Memorized settings and video labels are preserved
indefinitely, even if the unit is disconnected from AC power.

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.
Note: After all connections are completed, the rear panel master
power switch should be put in the ON position and usually left in
that position.

12V TRIGGER Connections

o
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using
a 12 volt trigger. These six 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 turn them on. When the processor
is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted and the
amplifiers turn off.
To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RSP-1570's 12V
TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a
cable with mono 3.5mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V 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 and ZONE 2–4 SETUP menus in
the Setup section of this manual for details.

REM IN Jacks

i
Four 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled EXT, ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE
4) receive command codes from a third-party infrared receiver or Rotel
remote zone keypad, These remote IR inputs are used when the IR signals
from a hand held remote control cannot reach the front panel IR sensor.
EXT: The EXT jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the
front panel IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a
cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked or when IR signals need to
be relayed to other components.
ZONE: The ZONE 2, 3, or 4 jacks are used with IR repeater systems to
receive signals from IR control systems in remote locations. For example,
remote control signals sent to the ZONE 2 jack control the ZONE 2
features of the RSP-1570 and can be relayed to other components.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external
receivers and the proper wiring of 3.5mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN
jacks.
Note: The RR-1061 remote control can be set to send individual
IR commands for each zone. Please refer to the setup manual
supplied with the RR-1061 to program this function.
Note: The IR signals from the REM IN EXT and REM IN ZONE
2–4 jacks can be relayed to 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

u
The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals received at the REM IN ZONE
2–4 jacks or the REM IN EXT 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 Rotel CD players, DVD players, or tuners with a
compatible connector.
