optimum performance from any multichannel digital signal on 6.1
and 7.1 channel systems. Always active in any system with center
back speaker(s), Rotel XS even works with signals that would not
otherwise activate the proper decoding (such as non-flagged DTS-
ES and Dolby Surround EX discs) or for which there is no extended
surround decoder (such as DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1, and even
Dolby Pro Logic II decoded Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings.)

Unpacking
Remove the unit carefully from its packing. Find the remote control and
other accessories. Save the box as it will protect the product if you
move or need to return it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat
moisture, or vibration. Make sure that the shelf can support the weight
of the unit.
Place the unit close to the other components in your system and,
if possible, on its own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and
subsequent system changes easier.
The unit can generate heat during normal operation. Do not block
ventilation openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm or 4 inches of
unobstructed space around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure
that there is adequate ventilation.
Do not stack other components or objects on top of the unit. Do not let
any liquid fall into the cabinet.
Overview of Connections
Although the rear panel may look daunting, connecting the unit to your
system is straightforward. Each of the source components in the system
are connected to the unit’s inputs with a pair of standard RCA cables for
analog audio, a video connection (Composite, Component Video, and/
or HDMI), and an optional digital audio cable (coax or optical)
Note:
Surround formats like Dolby Digital and DTS are digital formats
and the unit can only decode them when a digital input signal is
available. For this reason, you should always connect your Blu-ray or
DVD player’s digital outputs to the unit, using either the HDMI, optical
or coax inputs.
The outputs of the RSP-1572 processor are sent to power amplifier(s) with
standard RCA cables from the preamp audio outputs. The video signal from
the RSP-1572 is sent to the TV monitor using the HDMI connections.
In addition, the processor has MULTI input connections for use with
a source component that does its own surround decoding, remote IR
sensor inputs, and 12V trigger connections for remote turn-on of other
Rotel components.
Note:
Do NOT plug any system component into an AC source until
all connections have been properly made. Video cables should have a
75 ohm impedance. The S/PDIF digital audio interface standard also
specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all good digital cables adhere to this
requirement. Do NOT substitute conventional audio interconnect cables
for digital or video signals. Standard audio interconnects will pass these
signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce performance.
When making signal connections, connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel
jacks and RIGHT channels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections
on this product follow these standard color codes:
Left channel audio:
white RCA jack
Right channel audio:
red RCA jack
Composite video:
yellow RCA jack
Note:
Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT
SETUP menu of the OSD menu system. We recommend going to this
menu after connecting each source to configure it as desired. See Input
Setup in the Setup section for information.
Video Inputs and Outputs
These connections are used for connecting video signals to and from
the unit. See the Making Connections section for specific instructions for
each type of component.
The unit provides Composite, Component Video, and HDMI connections.
Composite video connections simplify system configuration; however,
Component Video connections typically provide better picture quality
and are required for HDTV or progressive scanned DVD video. For the
best Video quality, use the HDMI connections for Blu Ray sources when
possible.
