The MAIN MENU provides access to OSD screens for various
configuration options. MAIN MENU is reached by pressing the ENTER
button from the SYSTEM STATUS menu described above or from most
other menus. To go to the desired menu, move the highlight using the
UP/DOWN and +/– buttons on the remote and press the ENTER button.
Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote to cancel the display and
return to normal operation.
Configuring Inputs
A key step in setting up the unit is to configure each source input using
the INPUT SETUP screens. Configuring the inputs allows you to set
defaults for a number of settings including the type of input connector,
the desired surround mode, custom labels that appear in the displays
when a source is selected, and many more. The following OSD menus
are used to configure the inputs.

The INPUT SETUP menu configures the source inputs and is reached from
the MAIN menu. The screen provides the following options, selected by
placing the highlight on the desired line using the UP/DOWN buttons:
LISTEN: changes the current listening input source (CD, TUNER, TAPE,
VIDEO 1–5, & MULTI INPUT). Changing this input also allows you to
select a specific input for configuring.
VIDEO INPUT: selects the video source to be displayed on the TV
monitor. Assign the input to a source component you have connected
by selecting from Component 1–3, S–Video 1–3, Component 1–3 and
HDMI 1–4. For audio only sources (such as a CD player), you would
typically specify OFF so that no video is displayed.
INPUT LABEL: The eight character labels for all eight inputs can be
customized. Place the highlight on this line to begin labelling. The first
character in the label will be flashing.
1. Press the +/– buttons on the remote to change the first letter, scrolling
through the list of available characters.

2. Press the ENT button on the remote to confirm that letter and move to
the next position.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all eight characters (including blank
spaces) have been completed. The final press of the ENT button saves
the new label.
AUDIO INPUT: assigns a physical input connection to use as the default
for the source displayed in the first line of the menu. Can be OPTICAL
1–4, COAXIAL 1–3, ANALOG or HDMI Audio.
Note: HDMI Audio input is assigned to a specific VIDEO input.
When a digital input is the default, the unit will check for a digital signal
when the INPUT SOURCE is selected. If no digital signal is present, the
unit will automatically revert to the analog input.
When an ANALOG input is the default, the unit will not access a
digital signal, even though one may be present at the digital input;
thus, the ANALOG setting forces the unit to use an analog signal.
Assigning a digital input (with its auto-sensing) is generally the preferred
configuration for any source with a digital output.
INPUT ATT: the audio INPUT ATT function allows you to reduce the
level of the selected audio input from 0dB to –6dB, in 1dB steps. Use this
attenuation for louder sources to match them to quieter sources.
Note: If a source connected to a digital input is selected, that
signal will automatically be sent to both digital outputs for
recording.
CINEMA EQ: The RSP-1570 includes a CINEMA EQ feature which
reduces the high-frequency content of movie soundtracks to simulate the
frequency response of a large movie theater and/or eliminate sibilance.
You can turn the CINEMA EQ on or off as the default setting for the
selected input using this menu choice. In general, this setting should
be OFF for most source inputs, unless you are consistently bothered by
excessively bright sound from movie soundtracks.
12V TRIGGER: The RSP-1570 has six 12V trigger outputs (labeled
1–6) that supply a 12V DC signal to turn on Rotel components and other
components as needed. This menu item turns on specific 12V trigger
outputs whenever the indicated source is selected. For example, set up
the VIDEO 1 input to turn on the 12V trigger for your DVD player. Any
combination of trigger outputs can be programmed for each source.
1. Press the +/– buttons on the remote to change the first position from
blank to 1 (activating TRIGGER 1 for that source).
2. Press the ENT button on the remote to move to the next position.
3. Repeat until all six positions are set as desired. A final press of the
ENT button confirms the selection.
DEFAULT MODE: The DEFAULT MODE setting allows you to set a
default surround sound mode for each source input. The default setting
will be used unless the source material triggers automatic decoding of a
particular type or unless the default setting is temporarily overridden by
the front panel or remote surround mode buttons.
