BASIC OPERATIONS

This section covers the basic operating controls of the RSP-1580 and
the remote.

Selecting Inputs

You can select any of source inputs for listening and/or watching: USB/
iPod player, CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO
4, VIDEO 5, or MULTI INPUT.
All of the source inputs (except for USB/iPod) can be customized using
the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY configuration menus to accept either analog
signals or digital signals from one of the seven assignable digital inputs,
or HDMI Audio. When a digital input is assigned, the unit checks for
the presence of a digital signal at that input. If a digital signal is present
when the source is selected, it is automatically activated and the proper
surround mode enabled. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs
for that source are selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration
for digital source inputs such as DVD players. When an ANALOG input
is assigned, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one
may be available at the digital input.
When you have configure the source input, you can use input buttons to
select the one your descire.
1, Press the INPUT button on the front panel , it will switch to next source
input you configure with OSD-INPUT menu one by one.
2, Press the source input button on the remote. These factory configured
source input buttons select following inputs by default:
CD: Digital Coaxial 2
Tuner: Analog
Tape: Digital Coaxial 3
Video 1: HDMI Audio (HDMI 1)
Video 2: HDMI Audio (HDMI 2)
Video 3: Digital Optical 1
Video 4: Digital Optical 2
Video 5: Digital Coaxial 1
Each source input should be configured using the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY
menu system to use the desired input type (analog or digital auto-sensing).
See the INPUT MENU section for configuration instructions.
Note: The Rotel unit will operate with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod
Classic, iPod touch 2G, iPod Nano 2G, iPod Nano 3G, iPod Nano 4G
and iPod Nano 5G.
RSP-1580 SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR
Remote Monitor Operation
The RSP-1580 provides remote monitor capability, allowing you to enjoy
movies and music and operate the system from a second, third, and fourth
room. From the remote location, you can select a source component
(independent from the source playing in the main room), and operate
the source components.
To use the remote monitor capability, you need TV monitors in remote
rooms with HDMI inputs and a third-party IR repeater system.
The signal sent to MON 2, 3, or 4 can be controlled from the main
room using the RSP-1580's front panel or remote control MON button.
Operation from the remote zone requires the installation of an infrared
repeater (from Rotel or other suppliers) which relays infrared remote
control commands from remote zone to the MON 2–4 REM IN connectors
on the back of the unit.
Several points about the remote MON function:
• Any HDMI inputs connected to the RSP-1580 can be sent to MON
2,3,4.
• Analog video inputs connected to the RSP-1580 can also be sent to
MON 2,3,4 but the analog audio must be connected.
• Avoid sending the same infrared command to the RSP-1580's
front panel sensor and to a remote zone repeater at the same time.
This means that remote zones must be in a different room from the
RSP-1580.

USB/iPod Operation

USB Storage Device Connection
1. Plug your USB storage device containing music files, or through a
USB adaptor into the front panel's USB socket.
2. Press USB button on the remote to enter iPod/USB mode or push the
INPUT button on the front panel. The unit will automatically search music
file from the root directory. Once the directory is found, press PLAY and

name, time, total tracks.:
3. If your music files are in sub directories, use ENT(SEL), Up/Down button
to move to the directory, left/right button to return/enter the directory.

iPod/iPhone Connection
