Important Safety Instructions
RB-1562 / RB-1572 Stereo Power Amplifi ers
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose the unit to moisture or water. Do not expose the
unit to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, on the unit. Do not allow foreign objects
to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or
a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect
the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service
person for inspection and necessary repairs.
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the
component.
Keep this manual so you can refer to these safety instructions.
Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions
and on the product itself. Follow all operating instructions.
Clean the enclosure only with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use this unit near water.
You must allow a minimum 10 cm or 4 inches of
unobstructed clearance around the unit. Do not place the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the
ventilation openings. If the unit is placed in a bookcase or
cabinet, there must be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper
cooling.
Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or any other appliance that produces heat.
WARNING: The rear panel power cord connector is the mains
power disconnect device. The apparatus must be located in an
open area that allows access to the cord connector.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type
and voltage specified on the rear panel. (USA: 120 V/60Hz, EC:
230V/50Hz)
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the
supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not
modify the supplied cable. A polarized plug has two blades, with
one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades plus
a third grounding prong. These are provided for your safety.
Do not defeat grounding and/or polarization safety provisions.
If the supplied plug does not fit your outlet, please consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not use
extension cords.
The main plug of the power cordset is a disconnect device of the
apparatus. In order to completely disconnect the apparatus from
the supply mains, the main plug of the power cordset should
be unplugged from the mains (AC) outlet. The standby LED
indicator will not be lit up to show the power cord is unplugged.
The disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched,
bent, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular
attention to the power cord at the plug and where the cord exits
the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet during
a lightning storm or if the unit is to be left unused for a long
period of time.
Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket
or shelf system recommended by Rotel. Use
caution when moving the unit in a stand or
rack to avoid injury from a tip-over.
Use Class 2 wiring for speaker connections to ensure proper
installation and minimize the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected
and/or serviced by a qualified service agency if:
• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain.
• The unit shows signs of improper operation
• The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way
Rotel products are designed to comply with
international directives on the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and
electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The
crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance
and that the products must be appropriately
recycled or processed in accordance with these
directives.
This symbol means that this unit is double insulated.
An earth connection is not required.

At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead
content in our electronics by using special ROHS solder, while our new
Class D (not digital) amplifi ers are up to fi ve times more effi cient than
our legacy designs and still deliver power and performance. These
products run cool, give minimum wasted energy, are good for the
environment and give better sound too.
Finally, we have printed this brochure on recycled paper stock.
While we understand that these are small fi rst steps, they are still
important ones. And we continue to pursue new methods and
materials for a cleaner and greener manufacturing process.
All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will
bring you many years of enjoyment.
A Word About Watts
The power output of the RB-1562 and RB-1572 are quoted as 100
and 250 watts, respectively, for each channel, when both channels
are operating together at full power.
Rotel has chosen to specify the power output in this way because, in
Rotel’s experience, it gives the truest value of the receiver or amplifi er’s
power capability.
When comparing specifi cations for different products, you should be
aware that power output is often specifi ed in other ways, so you may
not be comparing like with like.
About Rotel
Our story began nearly 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have
received hundreds of awards for our products and satisfi ed hundreds
of thousands of people who take their entertainment seriously - like
you!
Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music
led them to manufacture high-fi delity components of uncompromising
quality. Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished
and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles
and music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel
employees.
Rotel’s engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fi ne tuning,
each new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards.
They are free to choose components from around the world in order to
make that product the best they can. You are likely to fi nd capacitors
from the United Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or
the United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured
in Rotel’s own factory.
We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more
electronics are produced and later discarded, it is especially important
for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a
minimum negative impact on landfi ll sites and water tables.
For example, the power output may be quoted with only one channel
operating, giving a higher maximum fi gure. If Rotel chose to quote
the RB-1562 or RB-1572 power output this way the specifi ed wattage
would be 25-30% higher for the same distortion limit and loudspeaker
impedance.
A loudspeaker’s impedance rating indicates the electrical resistance
or load it offers when connected to the amplifi er, usually 8 ohms or
4 ohms. The lower the impedance, the more power the speaker will
need. In effect, a 4 ohm speaker will require twice as much power as
an 8 ohm speaker.
So ideally, the amplifi er should be give double the power into a 4 ohm
load – a rating of 100 watts into an 8 ohm load should become 200
watts into 4 ohms. Using lower impedance speakers makes greater
demands on the amplifi er’s power supply, because it will be drawing
more current and giving off more heat.
However, Rotel amplifi ers are designed to work into any speaker
impedance between 8 and 4 ohms, and with all the channels working
up to their full power. Because the Rotel design is optimized for use
with all channels operating together, Rotel is able to specify the true
power output for both channels.
This can be important for your enjoyment, too. When watching
movies, it’s nice to have the amplifi er able to reproduce full power into
all the channels at the same time, especially in the case of a volcano
exploding!
