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.
Computer I/O y
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 RSP-1570 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.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
CD Player w
See Figure 9
Connect the digital output of the CD player to any of the Optical or Coax
digital inputs on the processor. Use the INPUT SETUP menu to assign the
digital input to the CD (the default is COAXIAL 2).
Optional: Connect the left and right analog outputs from the CD player
to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled CD (left and right). This option uses the
CD player’s D/A converters; however, this may result in an extra A/D
and D/A conversion step.
There are typically no video connections for a CD Player and no video
input is assigned to the CD, as a default setting.
DVD or Blu-ray Player qwsjl
See Figure 5
DVD or Blu-ray player connections can be made using HDMI,
Component Video, S-Video, or Composite video connections.
Note: You must use either HDMI or Component Video connections
for a progressive scan or high definition player. You must make
a Composite Video or S-Video connection if you want to use the
DVD’s signal in one of the three remote zones.
For HDMI connections: Connect an HDMI cable from the output of the
DVD player to one of the HDMI IN 1–4 inputs on the processor.
For Component Video connections: Connect a set of three
Component Video cables from the output of the DVD player to one of the
COMPONENT VIDEO 1–3 inputs on the processor. Make sure to connect
the Y output to the Y input, the PB output to the PB input, and the PR
output to the PR input.
For S-Video connections: Connect an S-Video cable from the output
of the DVD player to one of the S-Video IN 1–3 inputs on the processor.
For Composite Video connections: Connect an RCA-RCA video
cable from the output of the DVD player to one of the COMPOSITE IN
1–3 inputs on the processor.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the video input you
have used to the DVD source.
Digital audio connection: Connect the digital output of the DVD
player to any one of the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN
COAXIAL 1–3 inputs on the processor. An HDMI cable carries both
digital video and digital audio signals; therefore, no separate digital
audio connection needs to be made.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the digital input to
the same video input source used above.
Optional analog audio connection: If you want to record the audio
signal from the DVD player, connect the left and right analog outputs
from the DVD player to one pair of VIDEO IN 1–5 audio input jacks.
Make sure that you connect the right channel to the R input jack and the
left channel to the L input jack.
Cable, Satellite, or HDTV Tuner qwsjl
See Figure 7
TV tuner connections can be made using HDMI, Component Video,
S-Video, or Composite video connections.
Note: You must use either HDMI or Component Video connections
for high definition tuner, satellite, or cable receiver. You must make
a Composite Video connection if you want to use the signal in one
of the three remote zones.
For HDMI connections: Connect an HDMI cable from the output of the
TV tuner to one of the HDMI IN 1–4 inputs on the processor.
For Component Video connections: Connect a set of three
Component Video cables from the output of the TV tuner to one of the
COMPONENT VIDEO 1–3 inputs on the processor. Make sure to connect
the Y output to the Y input, the PB output to the PB input, and the PR
output to the PR input.
For S-Video connections: Connect an S-Video cable from the output
of the TV tuner to one of the S-Video IN 1–3 inputs on the processor.
For Composite Video connections: Connect an RCA-RCA video
cable from the output of the TV tuner to one of the COMPOSITE IN 1–3
inputs on the processor.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the video input you
have used to the TV Tuner source.
Digital audio connection: Connect the digital output of the TV tuner
to any one of the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 1–3
inputs on the processor. An HDMI cable carries both digital video and
digital audio signals; therefore, no separate digital audio connection
needs to be made.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the digital input to
the same video input source used above.
Optional analog audio connection: If you want to record the audio
signal from the TV tuner, connect the left and right analog outputs from
the TV tuner to one pair of VIDEO IN 1–5 audio input jacks. Make sure
that you connect the right channel to the R input jack and the left channel
to the L input jack.
AM/FM Tuner w[
See Figure 11
Digital audio connection: If using an HD Radio or other digital tuner,
connect the digital output of the tuner to any one of the DIGITAL IN
OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1570.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the digital input to
TUNER source.
Analog audio connection: If using an analog AM/FM tuner or if you
want to record the audio signal from the tuner, connect the left and right
analog outputs from the tuner to the pair of audio input jacks labeled
TUNER on the RSP-1570. Make sure that you connect the right channel
to the R input jack and the left channel to the L input jack.
There are typically no video connections for an AM/FM tuner and no
video input is assigned by default.
Audio Recorder wrh
See Figure 10
Connect the left and right analog outputs from an audio tape deck to the
TAPE IN jacks (left and right).
Connect the left/right TAPE OUT jacks to the inputs on the audio tape
deck.
Optional: For a digital recording device, connect the digital output of
the recorder to one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs on
the processor. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital input to
the TAPE source. If the recording device accepts a digital recording input,
connect one of the OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections to the
digital input of the recorder.
No video connections are required for an audio recording device.
Video Recorder qeisd
See Figure 8
VCR connections can be made to the VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 inputs and
outputs. If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs
and outputs for all analog audio and video connections.
S-Video connections: Connect an S-Video cable from the output of the
VCR to the S-Video IN 1 or 2 input. Connect an S-Video cable from the
S-Video OUT 1 or 2 jack to the VCR inputs.
Composite connections: Connect an RCA video cable from the output
of the VCR to the COMPOSITE IN 1 or 2 input. Connect an RCA video
cable from the COMPOSITE OUT 1 or 2 jack to the VCR inputs.
Audio Connections: Connect the left and right analog outputs from
the VCR to either the VIDEO IN 1 or VIDEO IN 2 audio inputs. Connect
the left and right VIDEO OUT 1 or VIDEO OUT 2 audio outputs to the
analog inputs on the VCR.
Optional Digital Audio: For a digital recording device, connect the
digital output of the recorder to one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN
digital inputs on the processor. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign
that digital input to the VIDEO source (VIDEO 1, 2, or 3) used for the
previous connections. If the recording device accepts a digital recording
input, connect one of the OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections to
the digital input of the recorder.
DVD-A or SACD Player tl
See Figure 6
In most cases, DVD-A, SACD, and other external multichannel
processors are connected to the processor by sending decoded analog
audio signals using RCA cables. A DVD-A player with HDMI outputs can
send digital signals directly to the processor for decoding.
