About Rotel
Our story began over 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have received
hundreds of awards for our products and satisfied 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-fidelity 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.
RotelÊs engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine 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 find capacitors from the United
Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the United States,
while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in RotelÊs 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 landfill sites and water tables.
8
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) amplifiers are up to five times more efficient than our legacy
designs and still deliver power and performance. These products run cool,
9
give minimum wasted energy, are good for the environment and give better
sound too.

Finally, we have printed this manual on recycled paper stock.
While we understand that these are small first 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.
Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RC-1580MKII Stereo Control Amplifier.
When used in a high-quality music audio system, your Rotel product will
provide years of musical enjoyment.
The RC-1580MKII is a full featured, high performance component. All aspects
of the design have been optimized to retain the full dynamic range and subtle
nuances of your music. The RC-1580MKII has a highly regulated power
supply incorporating a Rotel custom-designed toroidal power transformer
and custom-made slit foil capacitors. This low impedance power supply has
ample power reserves, which enables the RC-1580MKII to easily reproduce
the most demanding audio signals. This type of design is more expensive
to manufacture, but it is better for the music.
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are designed with Symmetrical Circuit
Traces. This insures that the precise timing of the music is maintained and
faithfully recreated. The RC-1580MKII circuitry uses metal film resistors
and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in important signal paths.

All aspects of this design have been examined to ensure the most faithful
music reproduction.
The main functions of the RC-1580MKII are easy to install and use. If you
have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldnÊt find anything
perplexing. Simply plug in the associated components and enjoy.
A Few Precautions
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your system, turn off ALL
the components in the system when connecting or disconnecting the
loudspeakers or any associated components. Do not turn the system
components back on until you are sure all the connections are correct
and secure. Pay particular attention to the speaker wires. There must
be no loose strands that could contact the other speaker wires, or the
chassis of the amplifier.
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and operating
instructions, it provides valuable information on various RC-1580MKII system
configurations as well as general information that will help you get optimum
performance from your system. Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer
for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel
welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RC-1580MKII shipping carton and all enclosed packing material
for future use. Shipping or moving the RC-1580MKII in anything other than
the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier.
If included in the box please fill out and send in the owner`s registration
card. Also be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record
of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service
is ever required.
Placement
Like all audio components that handle low-level signals, the RC-1580MKII
can be affected by its environment. Avoid placing the RC-1580MKII on top
of other components. Also avoid routing audio signal cables near power
cords. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference.
We recommend installing the RC-1580MKII in furniture designed to house
audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress
vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized
Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation
of audio components.
The RR-AT98 Remote Control
Some functions can be done with either the front panel controls, or the
supplied RR-AT98 remote control. When these operations are described,
the square call out numbers refer to the main unit, while the encircled letters
refer to the remote control.
NOTE: The remote control can be used to operate the basic functions
of Rotel tuners and CD players. Remote control keys labeled
can be used to operate CD or Tuner functions in your system. For the
remote to operate properly, make sure both the remote and the CD
or Tuner are both in same remote code. For more information please
contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
FHI
Remote Control Batteries
Two UM-4/AAA size batteries (supplied) must be installed before the remote
control can be used. To install the batteries, remove the cover on the back
of the RR-AT98. Install the batteries as shown in the illustration in the battery
well. Test the control for proper operation, then replace the cover. When the
batteries become weak the remote control wonÊt operate the RC-1580MKII
consistently. Installing fresh batteries should eliminate the problem.
AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
NOTE: Be sure to set the Volume control to the minimum (full
counterclockwise) position before connecting the power cord.
Your RC-1580MKII is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage
in the country where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC or 230 volts AC
with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration
is noted on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your unit to another country, it may be possible
to reconfigure it for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to
perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit
exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please only use
the one appropriate for your country/region.
The RC-1580MKII is supplied with an RR-AT98 remote control and must
be placed where the infrared signal from the remote can reach the front
panel Remote Sensor.
Cables
Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular audio
signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize
the chance of the regular audio signal cables picking up noise or interference
from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high quality, shielded
cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the
sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized
Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.
The RC-1580MKII should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall
outlet. Do not use an extension cord. A heavy duty multi-tap power outlet
strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet) is rated to handle the current
demanded by the RC-1580MKII and all the other components connected to it.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time
such as a month long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug the
RC-1580MKII (as well as other audio and video components) while you
are away.
