• BALANCE: Change left/right balance (For more information on Balance
sections refer to the Balance Control section).
NOTE:
This setting is stored permanently even after the RA‑1592MKII
is powered off.
• DIMMER: Dims the display.
NOTE:
This setting is stored permanently even after the RA‑1592MKII
is powered off.
• POWER ON MAX VOLUME: This sets the maximum volume level when
the unit is turned ON. “45” is the factory default.
NOTE:
Power On Max Volume settings do not apply to sources
configured with Fixed Gain.
• POWER OPTION: Enables the RA-1592MKII to be controlled via the network
port when attached to an automation system. The power consumption is
higher in Quick Power mode. If network control is not required select the
Normal Power mode. “Normal” is the factory default.
Valid settings include: Normal, Quick.
NOTE:
When the POWER OPTION is configured to Quick, the RA‑1592MKII
will consume additional power in standby mode.
NOTE:
Due to local power consumption regulations the POWER
OPTION function is not available in all markets.
• AUTO POWER OFF: The RA-1592MKII can be configured to automatically
power off if unused for a specified period. If no changes are made to the
unit within the specified “Auto Power Off” time the unit will automatically
go to STANDBY mode. The Auto Power Off timer will be restarted if
changes are made to the volume, source or playback. The default for
Auto Power Off is set to 20 MINS.
Valid settings include: 20 MINS (Default), DISABLE, 1 HOUR, 2 HOURS,

Network Connection
=
The RA-1592MKII can be attached to a network using the rear panel
NETWORK socket
=
. The NETWORK configurations allow both STATIC
and DHCP IP addressing. See the Network section of this manual under
Setting Menu for IP address configuration information.
The NETWORK connection allows software updates to be downloaded from
the Internet. The NETWORK connection also allows IP control for integration
with automation systems.
For additional information on the IP control please contact your authorized
Rotel dealer.
Protection Circuit
The amplifier has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that
protects the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty
operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio
signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection
circuits monitor the temperature of the output devices and shut down the
amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However,
should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing and will
display “AMP PROTECTION“ on the front panel.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off. Let it cool down for several minutes,
and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection
circuitry to engage. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection
circuit will automatically reset.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition
such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventilation leading to an
overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low
impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.
If the protection circuitry triggers repeatedly and you are unable to isolate
and correct the faulty condition, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for
assistance in troubleshooting.

NOTE:
These settings are stored permanently even after the RA‑
1592MKII is powered off.
