Ir Out Jacks - Rotel RSX-1562 Owner's Manual

IR OUT Jacks

h
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.
These outputs are used to allow IR signals from the three remote zones
to be sent to the source components, or to pass along IR signals from a
remote in the main room when the sensors on the source components are
blocked by installation in a cabinet.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for information on IR emitters and
repeater systems.
Rear Mini USB Socket
k
Remote IR OUT
g
The Rear USB connector is for connecting to a computer's USB socket.
The RSX-1562 has the ability to learn other component's remote codes
and be programmed to send them via the Remote IR outputs to various
components. This program requires setup on a computer.
For additional information on this feature, please contact your
authorized Rotel dealer.
Computer I/O
s
This Rotel unit can be operated from a computer with audio system control
software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by
sending operating codes from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232
serial connection. In addition, the RSX-1562 can be updated using
special software from Rotel.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary network connections
on the rear panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such
as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.
For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and
operating codes for computer control or updating of the unit, contact
your authorized Rotel dealer.
RSX-1562 SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Connecting Speakers
m
See Figure 3
This Rotel receiver has built-in amplifiers to power up to seven speakers
in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel surround audio system: normally, left/right
front speakers, center channel speaker, left/right surround (rear) speakers,
plus one or two center back speakers. There are seven pairs of binding
post connections (one pair for each speaker) which accept bare wire,
spade lugs, or banana plug connectors (in some markets)
Note: Speakers should have an impedance of 4 ohms or higher.
Each pair of connectors is color-coded for polarity: red for positive
and black for negative. All speakers and all speaker wire is also
marked for polarity. For proper performance, you must maintain
this polarity at all speaker connections. Always connect the positive
terminal of each speaker to the corresponding red speaker terminal on
the receiver and the negative speaker terminal to the corresponding
black connector on the receiver.
The connectors are labeled LEFT FRONT/ZONE, RIGHT FRONT/
ZONE, LEFT SURROUND, RIGHT SURROUND, CENTER, CENTER
BACK/VERTICAL HEIGHT/ZONE/FRONT 1/LEFT, and CENTER
BACK/VERTICAL HEIGHT/ZONE/FRONT 2/RIGHT.
Route the wires from the receiver to the speakers. Leave enough slack
so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker
connectors. If you are using banana plugs, connect them to the wires
and then plug into the back of the binding posts. The collars of the
binding posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise). If you are
using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are attaching
bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors
and strip back the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be
careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew the binding post
collars. Place the connector lug or the twisted bare wire around the
binding post shaft. Turn the collars clockwise to clamp the connector
lug or wire firmly in place.
1. Connect the front left speaker to the binding posts labeled LEFT
"FRONT/ZONE".
2. Connect the front right speaker to the binding posts labeled RIGHT
"FRONT/ZONE".
3. Connect the center channel speaker to the binding posts labeled
"CENTER".
4. Connect the surround left speaker to the binding posts labeled LEFT
"SURROUND".
5. Connect the surround right speaker to the binding posts labeled
RIGHT "SURROUND".
6. Connect the center back left speaker (or vertical height left speaker)
to the binding posts labeled "CENTER BACK/VERTICAL HEIGHT/
ZONE/FRONT" 1/LEFT.
