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 main plug is used as the main disconnect device and should remain ready accessible. 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. 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. The batteries in remote control shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. WARNING: The master power switch is located on the rear panel. The unit must allow unobstructed

About Rotel

Our story began over 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have received hundreds of awards for our products and satis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-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 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 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 it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum impact on the environment.

At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content in our products by using special lead-free ROHS solder and components. Our engineers continually strive to improve power supply efciency without compromise to quality. When in standby mode Rotel products use minimal power to meet global Standby Power Consumption requirements.

The Rotel factory is also doing their part to help the environment through constant improvements to product assembly methods for a cleaner and greener manufacturing processes.

Overview of Connections

Left channel audio: white RCA jack Right channel audio: red 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 more information.

HDMI 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.

Rear HDMI IN 1–7 Video Inputs [

HDMI inputs provide various digital video connections for use with components that have HDMI outputs. HDMI connections carry video signals in multiple formats including 3D, 1080p/24Hz, and 4K. The implementation of HDMI supports audio signals, or a separate audio connection from an HDMI component.

Front HDMI IN 9

One HDMI input is located on the front panel for easier access. Use this HDMI connection for portable sources or devices that would not be permanently connected.

Each of the source components in the system are connected to the unit’s inputs with a pair of standard RCA cables or balanced XLR cables for analog audio, an HDMI video connection 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-1582 processor are sent to power ampliﬁer(s) with balanced XLR connectors or standard RCA cables from the audio outputs. The video signal from the RSP-1582 is sent to the 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 receiver inputs, 12V trigger outputs and Rotel Link.

NOTE: Do NOT plug any system component into an AC source until all connections have been properly made. The S/PDIF digital audio interface standard specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all good digital cables adhere to this requirement. Do NOT substitute conventional audio interconnect cables for digital signals. Standard audio interconnects will pass these signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce performance.

When using analog audio connections ensure the Left and Right signals are attached to the proper RCA jacks. All RCA-type connections on this product follow these standard color codes:

HDMI Monitor Outputs w

The two HDMI outputs of the RSP-1582 send High Denition video signals to your TV monitor in parallel. The HDMI outputs can send video signals to a high-deﬁnition TV 2D (480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p or 4K) and 3D (up to 1080p/24Hz).

NOTE: There are two HDMI outputs on the rear panel sending out the same video signal. Only one of the two will send the On Screen Menu to your TV.

Of the two HDMI Outputs, only one HDMI output supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) and is labeled “ARC” above the HDMI connector. Please refer to the VIDEO SETUP menu section of this manual for more details.

NOTE: Your TV may have more than one HDMI input. Not all HDMI inputs support ARC. Please use the ARC enabled HDMI input of your TV to use the ARC function on this product. ARC compatible inputs should be labeled with “ARC” next to the HDMI input connector.

Additional information for HDMI video outputs:

• All HDMI attached devices must be HDCP compatible to ensure proper display of the HDMI video signal.

• Audio received over HDMI will be processed by this product and sent out via the RCA or XLR outputs. To pass the audio signal to an attached TV the RSP-1582 must be set to “HDMI Audio Output Only” in the VIDEO SETUP menu in the OSD.

• When using both HDMI outputs simultaneously, both HDMI outputs will be set to the same resolution. This resolution will be the lower resolution of any attached monitor.

RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor

Audio Inputs and Outputs

This Rotel processor provides both analog and digital audio connections.

PHONO Input a

A Left/Right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a phono player. If the turntable has a “ground” wire, connect it to the screw terminal labeled “GND” to the left of the Digital inputs.

TUNER Input a

A Left/Right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a tuner.

CD Input a

BALANCED Input s

A Left/Right pair of Balanced XLR audio inputs for connecting a source component with Balanced XLR audio outputs.

MULTI Input d

A set of RCA inputs accepting up to 7.1 channels of analog signals from a source component capable of decoding multi channel audio. These inputs support FRONT L & R, CENTER, SUB, REAR L & R, and CENTER BACK 1 & 2 or FRONT VERTICAL HEIGHT L & R in a Dolby PLIIz setup.

These inputs bypass all digital processing in the processor and are routed directly to the volume control and outputs.

PREAMP Output g

A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs sends the RSP-1582’s line level output signals to external ampliers and powered subwoofers. These output levels are variable and adjusted by the RSP-1582’s volume control. The ten connectors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER 1 & 2, SURROUND (REAR) L & R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2 (or FRONT VERTICAL HEIGHT L & R), and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.

NOTE: Digital inputs support both 2 Channel Stereo and Multi Channel audio signals. When using the digital input the processor DSP will decode the incoming audio stream including Dolby Digital or DTS.

There are six digital audio inputs on the rear panel, three coaxial and three optical. These digital inputs can be assigned to any of the VIDEO 1 - 8 input sources using the INPUT SETUP menu during the setup process. For example, you can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source. By default, the source of the audio for inputs Video 1 - 8 is set to HDMI Audio.

At the factory the CD audio input is set to CD (analog RCA), but this can be changed to XLR, Coax 1 - 3, or Optical 1 - 3.

PC-USB Input r

See Figure 5

Connect this input using the supplied USB cable to the USB socket of your computer.

The RSP-1582 supports both USB Audio Class 1.0 and USB Audio Class

2.0 modes. Windows computers do not require installation of a driver for

USB Audio Class 1.0 and support playback of audio up to 96kHz sampling rates. The Factory Default setting is USB Audio Class 2.0.

To take advantage of USB Audio Class 2.0 audio playback supporting up to 192kHz sampling rates you will need to install the Windows driver supplied on the CD included with the RSP-1582. You will also need to switch the RSP-1582 to USB Audio Class 2.0 playback mode with the following:

• Press MENU on the front panel to enter MAIN MENU and use Up/ Down buttons to select the INPUT SETUP menu then press ENTER.

• Use Left/Right buttons to select “PC-USB” as INPUT SOURCE and select “USB Audio 2.0” as AUDIO INPUT.

• Power cycle the RSP-1582 and reboot your PC after changing the USB Audio mode to ensure both units are properly congured.

BALANCED Output f

A group of nine Balanced XLR analog audio outputs sends the RSP-1582’s balanced output signals to external ampliers and powered subwoofers. These output levels are variable and adjusted by the RSP-1582’s volume control. The nine connectors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER, SURROUND (REAR) L & R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2(or FRONT VERTICAL HEIGHT L & R), and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.

NOTE: Do not connect both the RCA and XLR to the same amplifier at the same time.

NOTE: Depending on your system configuration, you may use some or all of these connections. For example, if you only have one center channel, connect it to the CENTER 1 output. If you only have one center back channel, connect it to the CB1 output.

DIGITAL Inputs e

The RSP-1582 accepts digital inputs from source components such as CD players, satellite TV tuners, and DVD players. The DSP in the RSP-1582 detects the sampling rate of the incoming signal and automatically adjusts. Sampling rates up to 192kHz are supported.

Many audio playback applications do not support 192kHz sampling rate. Please conrm your audio player supports 192kHz audio and you have 192kHz audio les to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may need to congure the audio driver in your PC to output 192kHz or your computer may “down sample” to a lower audio sample rate. For more information please refer to your audio player or operating system information.

NOTE: USB Audio Class 2.0 requires installation of the Windows PC driver on the CD ROM included with the RSP-1582.

NOTE: MAC computers do not require a driver to support USB Audio Class 1.0 or 2.0 audio but also may require selection of Rotel as the audio output device.

NOTE: Upon successful installation of the driver, you may need to select the ROTEL audio driver from the audio/speaker setup of your computer.

Front USB Input 0

See Figure 7

This connection will accept Apple devices such as iPod, iPad and iPhone. While connected, the iPod and iPhone displays remain active allowing search and play functions.

Other Connections

VOLTAGE Selector h

The unit is set to the proper voltage for use in the country where the unit was purchased. The end user should not change the voltage setting.

CAUTION: The rear panel includes an AC voltage selection switch. Conrm

this switch is set to the proper AC voltage before attaching the power cord.

AC Input j

Your Rotel processor is conﬁgured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC). The AC line conﬁguration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit. Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit.

Master Power Switch \

The large rocker switch on the rear panel is a master power switch. When it is in the OFF position, power to the unit is completely off. When it is in the ON position, the front panel STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF buttons can be used to activate the unit or put it into standby mode.

12V TRIGGER Output u

Many Rotel ampliers offer the option of turning them on and off using a 12 volt trigger. These three connections provide this 12 volt trigger signal from the processor. When the unit is activated, a 12 volt DC signal is sent from these jacks to the ampliers to automatically turn them on. When the processor is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is removed and the ampliers automatically turn off.

To use the automatic trigger turn on feature, connect one of the RSP-1582’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplier, using only the black 3.5 mm trigger cable included with this unit or a Rotel amplier. Do not use any other cable for trigger connection. The +12V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.

NOTE: The 12V Trigger outputs are conﬁgured to turn on in various combinations only when speciﬁc input sources are activated. See the INPUT SETUP menus in the Setup section of this manual for details.

REM IN Jack i

This 3.5 mm mini-jack receives command codes from third-party IR remote receiver. These remote IR inputs can be used when the RSP-1582 front IR receiver cannot be reached by a sending remote control.

Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more information on the REM IN jack.

NOTE: The IR signals from the REM IN jack can be relayed to other source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional information.

IR OUT Jacks o

The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals received at the REM IN jack to an infrared blaster or emitter placed in front of a source component’s IR sensor. In addition, the IR OUT can be hard-wired to other Rotel products with REM IN jack.

These outputs allow IR signals to be “relayed” through the RSP-1582 either directly to the IR receiver on the front panel or via the REM IN jack on the rear panel. This function provides easy control of other source components when their IR inputs are not accessible such as when they are installed in a rack system or in a cabinet.

See your authorized Rotel dealer for more information on IR emitters and repeater systems.

RS232 Connector t

The RSP-1582 can be controlled via RS232 for integration with automation systems. The RS232 connector accepts a standard straight DB-9 Male-toFemale cable.

NETWORK Connector y

The Network socket accepts standard RJ-45, CAT-5 cables. Network connection is not required for normal operation of this unit. This connection is for software updates or control from an automation system only.

For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for automation system control or software updates, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Making Connections

Connecting an Amplier

See Figure 3 and Figure 4

The RSP-1582 has preamp RCA outputs and Balanced XLR outputs for connections to power ampliers to drive up to eight (seven if using XLR) speakers in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel surround sound audio system: right/left front channels, 2 center channels (1 center if using XLR), right/ left surround channels, and two center back (or front height) channels. In addition, there are two subwoofer outputs.

To connect ampliers, connect an audio cable from each output jack to the input of the amplier channel that will power the corresponding speaker. For example, connect the FRONT L output to the amplier channel driving the front left speaker. In a full home theater system, you will make up to seven different connections in addition to the subwoofer. These connections for a 5.1 channel system are labeled FRONT L and FRONT R, CENTER, and REAR L and REAR R. There are two CENTER RCA jacks; use either jack for a single center channel, or both if you have two center channels. In six or seven channel systems, make one or two additional connections for Center Back channel(s). These jacks are labeled CB1/LVH and CB2/RVH. Use CB1 for a single center back channel.

In a Dolby PLIIz system, you can have Left Vertical Height (LVH) and Right Vertical Height (RVH) speakers instead of CB1 and CB2.

Make sure that you have each output connected to the correct amplier channel:

RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor

1. Connect the front left amplier to the FRONT L jack.

2. Connect the front right amplier to the FRONT R jack.

3. Connect the center channel amplier to the CENTER 1 or CENTER 2 jack.

4. Connect the surround left amplier to the REAR L jack.

5. Connect the surround right amplier to the REAR R jack.

6. Connect the center back left/left vertical height amplier to the CB1/ LVH jack.

7. Connect the center back right/right vertical height amplier to the CB2/RVH jack.

After you have connected the preamp outputs, you need to conﬁgure the RSP-1582 for the size and style of speakers in your system and calibrate the relative volume levels of the speakers using the built-in test tones. See the Setup section of this manual.

Connecting a Subwoofer

See Figure 3 and 4

To connect a powered subwoofer, connect a standard RCA audio cable or Balanced XLR jack from either of the two jacks labeled SUB to the input on the subwoofer’s power amp. Both SUB outputs provide the same signal. Use either connection for a single subwoofer. Use both connections to connect two subwoofers.

After you have connected the subwoofer, you need to conﬁgure the unit to use the subwoofer and calibrate the relative volume level of the subwoofer using the built-in test tones. See the Speaker Level Setup section of this manual.

NOTE: Connect either the RCA or XLR cables. DO NOT connect both to the same amplifier.

Connecting a DVD, Blu-ray, Cable, Satellite, Game Console and HDTV Tuner

See Figure 6 and 10

Source devices including Blu-ray, DVD, satellite, cable, etc. should be attached to the RSP-1582 using HDMI. Connect an HDMI cable from the output of the source to one of the HDMI inputs on the processor.

Digital audio connection: Depending on the setup of your system, you can also use the audio digital connections and assign them to the HDMI video inputs.

Connect the digital output of the source to any of the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–3 or DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 1–3 inputs on the processor. An HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals; therefore, in most cases no separate digital audio connection needs to be made.

NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the audio digital input to the HDMI video input source used above.

Connecting a Blu-ray or DVD Player

See Figure 6

In some cases DVD, SACD, and other external multichannel processors are connected to the processor by sending decoded analog audio signals using RCA cables. A DVD player with HDMI outputs can send digital signals directly to the processor for decoding.

Analog Connections: To connect a Blu-ray or DVD player (or any device that decodes multi-channel audio) with analog connections, use audio RCA cables to connect the outputs of the player to the RCA jacks labeled MULTI INPUT on the RSP-1582. Make sure that you observe proper channel consistency, i.e. connect the right front channel to the FRONT R input, etc.

Depending on your system conﬁguration, make six connections (FRONT L & R, SURROUND L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER), seven connections (adding a CENTER BACK connection), or eight connections (adding two CENTER BACK or Vertical Height connections).

The MULTI inputs are analog bypass inputs, passing signals directly to the Volume Control and preamp outputs, bypassing all of the digital processing.

HDMI digital connection: If the player has HDMI outputs, simply connect an HDMI cable from the output of the player to one of the HDMI inputs on the processor. This cable sends the video signal from the player along with a digital audio signal. Using HDMI for audio and video allows the multichannel decoding to be handled by the processor.

Connecting a Monitor

See Figure 10

Connect one of the HDMI outputs of the RSP-1582 to the HDMI input of your TV monitor. The RSP-1582 has two HDMI outputs. Only one HDMI output will display the OSD and is ARC enabled. This output is labeled on the rear panel with ARC/OSD.

Connecting a CD Player or XLR Source

See Figure 8

Digital audio connection: Connect the output of the CD player to any of the Analog CD, XLR, Optical or Coax digital inputs on the processor. Use the INPUT SETUP menu to assign the audio input to the CD (the default is CD).

Analogue audio connections: Option 1: 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 converter. Depending on the selected DSP mode this connection method may require the analog signal to be converted to a digital signal for processing.

Option 2: If your CD Player (or another source) has XLR output connectors, you can use the XLR inputs on the RSP-1582 for this connection. Connect the left and right XLR outputs from the source to the jacks labeled BALANCED INPUT (left and right). This option uses the CD player’s D/A converter. Depending on the selected DSP mode this connection method may require the analog signal to be converted to a digital signal for processing.

Although there are typically no video connections for a CD Player, the RSP1582 can assign another video input to the CD or XLR input. The Video choices are HDMI 1-8 (Front), Last Video Source, or off. HDMI 1 video input is assigned to CD and XLR as the default setting.

Connecting a Tuner

See Figure 9

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 1–3 or DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1582.

NOTE: The Tuner source by default does not allow the selection of a digital input. Please use VIDEO 1 - 8, if connecting a Tuner with a digital input.

Analog audio connection: If using an analog tuner, connect the left and right analog outputs from the tuner to the pair of audio input jacks labeled TUNER on the RSP-1582. Make sure that you connect the right channel to the R input jack and the left channel to the L input jack.

Although there are typically no video connections for a Tuner the RSP-1582 can assign another video input to the Tuner input. The Video choices are HDMI 1 - 8 (Front), Last Video Source, or off. HDMI 1 video input is assigned to the Tuner input, as a default setting.

Throughout this manual, numbers in square boxes refer to the main unit illustration at the front of this manual. Letters in circles refer to the remote handset illustration. When both appear, the function is found on both the unit’s front panel and on the remote. When only one appears, that function is found either only on the main unit or only on the remote.

Front Panel Overview

The following is a brief overview of the controls and features on the front panel of the unit. Details concerning the use of these controls are provided in subsequent sections of this manual describing various tasks.

Front Panel Display 3

The Display on the front panel shows the complete OSD menu of the unit. When the OSD is not in use, the display shows source selected and type of audio mode the unit is in receiving or processing.

IR Remote Sensor 2

This sensor receives IR signals from the remote control. Do not block this sensor.

NOTE: The remainder of the buttons and controls on the front panel are described in the Overview of Buttons and Controls section.

Remote Control Overview

NOTE: The audio inputs CD, PHONO, XLR, MULTI, USB, PC-USB, BLUETOOTH, and TUNER are set to HDMI 1 video input as the factory default. This can be changed to HDMI 1-8, Last Video Source, or off.

Operating the RSP-1582

Considering its large number of features, settings and options, this Rotel RSP-1582 is remarkably easy to operate. The key to operating the unit is its system of On-Screen Displays (OSD) which guide you through various choices.

To guide you through the operation of the unit, this section of the manual starts with explaining the basic layout and functions of the front panel and the remote control. This is followed by explanation of basic operations such as turning the unit on and off, adjusting volume, selecting a source for listening, etc. Following that is a detailed explanation of surround sound modes and how to congure the unit for various types of recordings. All of these are features that may be used in normal operation. The last section of the manual (Conguration) details options that may be selected during initial setup and conguration of the unit, many of which will be set once and then left untouched.

The RSP-1582 is supplied with an easy to use remote control RR-CX100. The RR-CX100 can be congured to use IR codeset 1 or IR codeset 2 in case the unit is conicting with other Rotel models. Push and hold the TUN button and 1 (or TUN and 2 for codeset 2) at the same time and hold for approximately 5 seconds until the backlights on the remote control blink on then off then release both buttons. This sets the remote control to use codeset 1 (or codeset 2 if TUN and 2 are held). The System menu in the OSD includes a conguration option to set the processor to either codeset 1 or codeset 2. The factory default for the remote and processor is codeset 1.

The RR-CX100 can also control an attached Rotel CD player. The CD player functions include Play, Stop, Pause, Track Forward, Track Back, Fast Forward, Fast Reverse. To activate these functions press the CD button on the remote. If the CD is attached to the XLR source input these functions can be activated by pressing the XLR button. To change the CD player functions to operate after pressing the XLR button press and hold the XLR and 1 button for 5 seconds until the backlight LEDs blink twice times then release. To disable XLR sending the CD control functions press and hold the XLR and 0 button for 5 seconds until the backlight blinks.

The transport buttons will only operate for CD control after the CD or XLR button is pressed on the remote. If a different input is selected from the remote these buttons will no longer send the CD transport IR commands.

ASSISTIVE LIGHT O

Push and hold on the LIGHT Button N for 3 seconds to turn on the assistive light. This light can be used to help locate objects in a dimly lit room such as a home theatre surrounding.

Automatic Surround Modes

Decoding of digital sources connected is generally automatic with detection triggered by a “ﬂag” embedded in the digital recording telling the processor what decoding format to use. For example, when a Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 channel surround signal is detected, the processor activates the proper decoding.

The unit will detect DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 or DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 discs and activate DTS-ES® Extended Surround decoding. Dolby Digital Surround EX recordings also trigger automatic decoding (although not all Surround EX DVDs have the necessary ﬂag and may require manually activating Surround EX decoding).

The unit will also detect Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio automatically.

Likewise, a digital input from a standard compact disc, a DTS 96/24 disc, or DTS-ES 96/24 disc, will be auto-detected and properly decoded to 2CH stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx/IIz processing can be conﬁgured to be automatically active in all 6.1 or 7.1 channel systems conﬁgured with center back speaker(s) and will ensure proper extended surround decoding of all multichannel digital signals, even those that might not otherwise trigger the proper extended surround mode.

In many cases, the processor will also recognize a digital signal with Dolby Surround encoding (such as the default soundtrack on many DVDs) and activate Dolby® Pro Logic II® decoding. Additionally, you can conﬁgure a default surround mode for each input using the INPUT SETUP menu (see the Setup section of this manual).

DIM Button J

Use this button to dim the front panel display.

NOTE: Adjustment made using the J button is temporary only and not saved after power off.

Combined with the auto-detection of Dolby Digital and DTS, this default surround setting makes operation of the processor’s surround modes totally automatic. For example, if you set Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode as the default for all of your video inputs, the processor will automatically decode Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks when they are played and use Pro Logic II matrix decoding for all other recordings.

For stereo inputs such as CD and Tuner, you could select STEREO mode as the default for 2-channel playback or Dolby Pro Logic II music mode if you prefer to hear music sources in surround sound.

NOTE: A digital signal coming into the processor will be recognized and properly decoded. However, on a Blu-ray with multiple soundtracks, you may need to configure the player for the desired signal and encoding type. For example, you may need to use the player’s menu system to select the Dolby Digital True HD or DTS soundtrack rather than the default Dolby Digital 2.0 Dolby Surround soundtrack.

Manually Selecting Surround Modes

The combination of auto-detection of Dolby Digital and DTS recordings and setting default surround modes for each input during the setup of the processor makes operation of surround modes totally automatic. For many users, this automatic surround mode selection will meet all of their listening needs.

For users who prefer a more active role in setting surround modes, buttons on the remote and the front panel provide manual selection of surround modes that are not automatically detected or, in some cases, to override an automatic setting.

Manual settings available from the front panel and/or the remote control should be used when you want to play:

• Standard 2-channel stereo (Left/Right speakers only) with no surround processing.

• Down mixed 2-channel playback of Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS recordings.

• Dolby 3-channel stereo (Left/Right/center) of 2-channel recordings.

• 5-channel or 7-channel stereo from 2-channel recordings.

• Dolby Pro Logic II cinema or music mode matrix decoding of 2-channel recordings.

• DTS Neo:6 cinema or music mode matrix decoding of 2-channel recordings.

The following topics describe in detail the manual surround mode options available for each type of recording:

Dolby Digital/TrueHD discs Dolby Digital Surround EX discs

Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and cannot be overridden. You may, however, select a 2-channel down mix of 5.1 channel recordings. In a 6.1 or 7.1 channel system, you can also choose Dolby Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema (7.1 channel only).

To change the surround mode press the SUR+ button on the remote control or front panel to toggle through the available options. The 2CH button on the remote control will create a down mix of any multichannel signal to 2 channel stereo mode.

NOTE: Not all surround modes are available for all surround source formats. The input source signal will determine the available surround options that can be selected.

Dolby Digital 2.0 discs

Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and cannot be overridden. You may, however, select 2-channel playback, 5.1 channel playback with Pro Logic II matrix surround, 6.1/7.1 channel playback with Pro Logic IIx/IIz matrix surround, or Dolby 3-Stereo playback.

To change the surround mode press the SUR+ button on the remote control or front panel to toggle through the available surround options. The 2CH button on the remote control will downmix any multichannel signal to 2 channel stereo mode. The PLCM button on the remote control will toggle between Pro Logic IIx Cinema (Movie), Music or Game.

DTS/DTS-HD 5.1 discs DTS 96/24 discs DTS-ES 6.1 discs

DTS decoding is auto-detected and cannot be overridden. You may, however, select a 2-channel down mix of 5.1 channel recordings for 5.1 channel discs.

• Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding of Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recordings or Dolby Digital Surround EX discs that do not trigger automatic decoding.

NOTE: DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES 96/24, DTS-HD, Dolby Digital and Dolby TrueHD signals are auto-detected and cannot be overridden. However, you can choose to use Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding for any Dolby Digital 5.1 source material. You can also down mix Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 recordings for 2-channel playback.

• PCM 2-channel (non 96kHz) digital signals can be overridden to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo, DTS Neo:6, 5CH Stereo, 7CH Stereo, and Stereo.

• Dolby Digital 2-channel Stereo can be overridden to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo, and Stereo.

NOTE: Not all surround modes are available for all surround source formats. The input source signal will determine the available surround options that can be selected.

Digital Stereo discs

This group of recordings includes any non-Dolby Digital 2-channel signal from the processor’s digital inputs. You can play these recordings in 2-CH Stereo, Dolby 3-Stereo, 5-CH Stereo, 7-CH Stereo modes. You can also use Dolby Pro Logic II matrix surround (5.1 ch systems), Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music (6.1/7.1 ch systems), Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema (6.1/7.1 ch systems), Dolby Pro Logic IIz (7.1 ch system) or DTS Neo:6 surround modes.

All of the bass management settings (speaker size, subwoofer, and crossover) are in effect with digital stereo inputs.

To change the surround mode press the SUR+ button on the remote control or front panel control to toggle through the available surround options. The 2CH button on the remote control will create a down mix of any multichannel

signal to 2 channel stereo mode. The PLCM button on the remote control will toggle between Dolby PLIIx Cinema (Movie), Music or Game.

NOTE: Not all surround modes are available for all surround source formats. The input source signal will determine the available surround options that can be selected.

Analog Stereo

This type of recording includes any conventional stereo signals from the processor’s analog inputs, including analog audio from CD players, FM tuners, etc.

Analog stereo inputs require a choice about how the signal is routed through the processor. One option is the analog bypass mode. In this mode, the stereo signal is routed directly to the volume control and the outputs. This mode is pure 2-channel stereo, bypassing all of the digital circuitry. None of the bass management features, speaker level settings, EQ settings, or delay settings is active. There is no subwoofer output. A full-range signal is sent directly to the front left and right speakers.

The other option converts the analog inputs to digital signals, passing them through the digital processors in the RSP-1582. This option allows all of the features to be active including bass management settings, crossovers, subwoofer outputs, EQ settings, etc. In this mode, you can select several surround modes including 2-CH Stereo, Dolby 3-Stereo, 5-CH Stereo, 7-CH Stereo modes. You can also use Dolby Pro Logic II or Pro Logic IIx surround or DTS Neo:6 surround modes.

To change the surround mode press the SUR+ button on the remote control or front panel control to toggle through the available surround options. The PLCM button on the remote control will toggle between Pro Logic IIx Cinema (Movie), Music or Game.

NOTE: In addition to selecting analog or digital signals, the configuration options also permit custom labeling for all inputs and selection of a default surround mode for each of video inputs.

The rear USB socket labeled PC-USB accepts a type B USB plug. This input accepts PCM audio signals sent from your computer up to 24 bits/192kHz resolution.

NOTE: You may need to install the USB driver located on the CD supplied with the RSP-1582 if your computer does not recognize the RSP-1582 as an audio driver after the cables have been connected.

NOTE: Mac computers do not require a driver.

Setup

The Rotel RSP-1582 features two types of information displays to help operate the system. The ﬁrst consists of simple status displays that appear on the TV screen whenever primary settings (Volume, Input, etc.) are changed.

A more comprehensive ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) menu system is available at any time by pressing the SETUP H button on the remote or the MENU 7 button on the front panel. These OSD menus guide you through the conﬁguration and setup of the RSP-1582. The settings made in the conﬁguration process are memorized as default settings and need not be made again for normal operation of the unit.

The OSD menus can be conﬁgured to display several different languages. The default English version of all main menus are shown at the front of this manual. If your language is available, those menus will be shown in the instructions. If you would like to change from the default English language before proceeding, go to the instructions for the SYSTEM SETUP menu later in this manual. From this menu, you can change the language display.

Menu Basics

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all eight characters have been completed. The ﬁnal press of the ENTER button saves the new label. Or select the “8 “ button on the screen to conrm if you have less than eight characters to enter.

VIDEO INPUT: Selects the video source to be displayed on the TV monitor. Assign the input to a source component you have connected by selecting from HDMI 1–7 and HDMI Front. For audio only sources (such as a CD player), you would typically specify OFF so that no video is displayed. The video source can also be set to “LAST Video Source” so when switching to the specied Video input the previous Video source is not changed. This feature is useful if you want to change only the audio and keep watching whatever was the last displayed video source.

RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor

AUDIO INPUT: Assigns a physical input connection for the source displayed in the ﬁrst line of the menu. Options include Optical 1–3, Coax 1–3, Analog 1-4, HDMI Audio, Tuner, Multi Input, XLR, Phono, CD, Bluetooth, USB or PC-USB.

NOTE: Optical, coaxial,CD and XLR inputs can be assigned to the CD input source or Video 1-8.

NOTE: Audio input is not available to the XLR, PHONO, TUNER, MULTI INPUT, BLUETOOTH or USB input source.

When selecting the input source for “PC-USB”, AUDIO INPUT can be changed to “USB Audio 1.0” or “USB Audio 2.0”. USB Audio Class 2.0 may require installation of the PC driver. For more information please see PC USB section in this manual.

TRIGGER OUTPUT: The RSP-1582 has three 12V trigger outputs (labeled 1 – 3) that supply a 12V DC signal to turn on other components as needed. This menu item turns on speciﬁc 12V trigger outputs whenever the indicated input source is selected. For example, congure the VIDEO 1 input to turn on the 12V trigger for your DVD player. Any combination of trigger outputs can be programmed for each source.

1. Place the highlight on the option “TRIGGER OUTPUT“ and press the ENTER button on the remote control or front panel.

2. Press the Up/Down arrow buttons on the remote control or front panel to change the ﬁrst position from blank to 1 (activating TRIGGER 1 for that source) and use to the Left/Right arrow buttons move to the next position.

In some cases, the default setting can be manually overridden by the SUR+ button on the remote control or front panel, or 2CH, PLCM, BYPASS buttons on the remote control. See the Manually Selecting Surround Modes section of this manual for more information on which settings can be overridden.

Two of the default surround mode settings available on this menu offer additional choices. Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers a choice of Movie, Music or Game settings, etc. DTS Neo:6 decoding also offers a choice of CINEMA or MUSIC settings. When either Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected with this menu item, the current setting choice will also be displayed on the DEFAULT MODE line. To change from MUSIC to other modes enter the sub-menu by pressing ENTER on the remote control or front panel.

AUDIO DELAY: Also known as “lip-sync” delay, this setting delays the audio signal for an input by the speciﬁed amount to match the video input. This feature can be useful when the video signal is delayed more than the audio signal as sometimes happens with upconverted digital TV processors.

The range of available settings is from 0 ms to 500 ms, in 10 ms. The setting is individually stored for each input and is the default Audio Delay each time that input is selected.

LEVEL ADJUST: Use this feature to set the volume level lower than the other inputs. This feature is useful for sources that are consistently higher in volume than other sources in the system.

Press the SETUP button on the remote control or MENU button on the front panel to exit the menu and return to normal operation.

Multi Input Setup

3. Repeat until all three positions are set as desired. The ﬁnal press of the ENTER button conﬁrms the selection.

NOTE: The 12V trigger output 1 is defaulted to be turned on for all input sources. You can turn it off by following the steps as above.

DEFAULT MODE: The DEFAULT MODE setting allows you to set a default surround sound mode for each source input. The default setting will be used unless the source material triggers automatic decoding of a particular type or unless the default setting is temporarily overridden by the front panel or remote surround mode buttons.

Options for the default surround modes are: Dolby PLIIx, Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 channel Stereo, 7 channel Stereo, PCM 2 CH, DTS Neo:6, Analog Bypass (for analog input only) and Source Dependant.

NOTE: The following types of digital discs or source material are generally detected automatically and the proper decoding activated with no action or setting required: DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby Digital 2-channel, PCM 2-Channel, PCM 96kHz and MP3.

Since Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sources are detected and decoded automatically, the default setting typically tells the unit how to process a 2-channel stereo signal. For example, you might have your CD input default to 2-channel stereo, DVD and game console inputs default to Dolby Pro Logic II processing for matrix-encoded Dolby surround material, and TUNER input default to 5 Channel Stereo mode.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIX SETUP

MODE : Movie

OPTIONAL PARAMETER

PANORAMA : Oﬀ

DIMENSION : 3

CENTER WIDTH : 3

BACK

When “Dolby PLIIx ” is selected as the default surround mode on the INPUT SETUP menu, there are additional settings and parameters to optimize the surround decoding for music or movie soundtracks. Dolby Pro Logic II uses

matrix decoding algorithms to derive a center channel and surround channels from 2-channel source material.

The MODE line of the Dolby Pro Logic IIx sub-menu selects “Movie”, “Music”, or “Game”, modes for matrix decoding. Use the Left/Right arrow buttons to select a mode.

• Select “Movie” to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded movie soundtracks including increased surround separation and full-bandwidth surround channel frequency response.

• Select “Game” to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded video games.

• Select “Music” to optimize for musical recordings.

In addition to MODE, three optional parameters will be available on the OSD screen. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons on the remote control or front panel to select a parameter. Use the Left/Right arrow buttons to change the selected parameter as follows:

• PANORAMA: The Panorama option extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for a dramatic “wraparound” effect. The options are OFF or ON.

• DIMENSION: The Dimension option allows you to gradually adjust the soundﬁeld towards the front or towards the rear. There are seven incremental settings from 0 to 6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundﬁeld towards the rear for maximum surround effect. A setting of 6 shifts the soundﬁeld to the front for minimum surround effect. The default setting of 3 provides a “neutral” balance between the two extremes.

• CENTER WIDTH: The Center Width option allows you to spread the signal intended for the center speaker to the left and right front speakers, widening the perceived soundﬁeld. There are eight incremental settings from 0 to 7. With the setting of 0, there is no center width spreading and all of the center channel information is sent to the center speaker. The maximum setting of 7 shifts all of the center channel signal to the left and right speakers, essentially muting the center speaker and maximizing the soundﬁeld width. Other settings provide incremental steps between the two extremes. The factory default is set to 3.

When you have completed all the desired adjustments, select “BACK” on the OSD or press the BACK button to return to the INPUT SETUP menu.

DTS Neo:6

DTS NEO 6 SETUP

MODE : Cinema

BACK

When “DTS Neo:6” is selected as the default surround mode on the INPUT SETUP menu, there are additional option settings and parameters available to optimize the surround decoding for various types of recordings, music or movie soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 uses matrix decoding algorithms to derive a center channel and surround channels from 2-channel source material.

In DTS Neo:6 mode, there will only be one choice available on the submenu: selecting Cinema or Music mode. Use the Left/Right arrow buttons on the remote control or front panel to change the settings.

• Select “Cinema” to optimize the DTS Neo:6 decoding for movie soundtracks.

• Select “Music” to optimize the DTS Neo:6 decoding for musical recordings.

When you have completed the setting, select “BACK” on the OSD or press the BACK button to return to the INPUT SETUP menu.

Conﬁguring Speakers and Audio

This section of the setup process covers items concerning audio reproduction such as the number of speakers, bass management including subwoofer crossovers, establishing equal output levels for all channels, delay settings, and parametric EQ.

Understanding Speaker Conﬁguration

Home theater systems vary in the number of speakers and the bass capabilities of those speakers. This processor offers surround modes tailored to systems with various numbers of speakers and bass management features which send bass information to the speaker(s) best able to handle it – subwoofers and/ or large speakers. For optimum performance, you must tell the processor the number of speakers in your system and how bass should be distributed among them.

The following conﬁguration instructions refer to LARGE and SMALL speakers, referring more to their desired bass conﬁguration than their physical size. Specically, use the LARGE setting for speakers that you want to play deep bass signals. Use the SMALL designation for speakers that would beneﬁt from having their bass sent to more capable speakers. The bass management system redirects bass information away from all SMALL speakers and sends it to the LARGE speakers and/or the SUBWOOFER. It may be useful to think of LARGE as “full-range” and SMALL as “high-pass ﬁltered.”

• Five LARGE speakers and subwoofer: This system requires no bass redirection. All ﬁve speakers play the normal bass recorded in their respective channels. The subwoofer plays the normal channel bass. Meanwhile the normal bass places higher demands on the capabilities of the other speakers and the ampliers driving them.

• LARGE front, center, surround speakers, no subwoofer: The normal bass from the front, center, and surround channels is played in its respective speakers.

• All SMALL speakers and subwoofer: The normal bass from all channels is redirected to the subwoofer. The subwoofer handles ALL of the bass in the system. This conﬁguration provides several beneﬁts: deep bass is played by the speaker most suited to do so, the main speakers may play louder with less distortion, and the need for amplier power is reduced. This conﬁguration should be used with bookshelf-size or smaller main speakers. It should also be considered in some cases with ﬂoorstanding front speakers. This conﬁguration is advantageous when driving the system with moderate power ampliers.

RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor

• LARGE front speakers, SMALL center and surround speakers, and a

subwoofer: The normal bass from the SMALL center and surround

speakers is redirected to the LARGE front speakers and the subwoofer. The LARGE front speakers play their own normal bass plus the redirected bass from the SMALL speakers. The subwoofer plays the redirected bass from all of the other channels. This might be an appropriate conﬁguration with a pair of very capable front speakers driven by a large power amplier. A potential disadvantage with mixed LARGE and SMALL congurations is that the bass response may not be as consistent from channel to channel as it might be with the all SMALL conﬁguration.

NOTE: As an alternative conﬁguration with a satellite/subwoofer package as the front speakers, follow the speaker manufacturer’s instructions, connecting the high-level inputs of the powered subwoofer directly to the front speaker outputs of your amplifier and connecting the satellites to the subwoofer’s own crossover. In this arrangement, the speakers would be classiﬁed as LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF for all surround modes. No information is lost during playback because the system redirects bass information to the front LARGE speakers. While this conﬁguration ensures proper satellite speaker operation by using the speaker’s own crossovers, it has some disadvantages in terms of system calibration and would generally not be the preferred conﬁguration.

SURROUND SPEAKERS (Large/Small/None): Select the “Large” setting (not available with SMALL front speakers) to have the surround speakers play low bass (full-range). If your rear speakers have limited bass capability or if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, select the “Small” setting (high-pass). If your system has no rear surround speakers, select the “None” setting (surround channels are added to the front speakers so none of the recording is lost).

SUBWOOFER (Yes/Max/No): The “Yes” setting is the standard setting if your system has a subwoofer. If your system does not have a subwoofer, select “No”. Select the “Max” setting for maximum bass output with normal bass being duplicated by both the subwoofer and any LARGE speaker in the system.

C-BACK OR F-HEIGHT: The RSP-1582 can connect center back speakers or front height speakers. Use this option to select Center Back speakers or Front Vertical Height speakers in your system.

CENTER BACK (1Large/1Small/2Large/2Small/None): Some systems have one or two additional center back surround speakers. Select the “Large” setting (not available with SMALL front and surround speakers) to have your center back speaker(s) play low bass. Use “1Large” if you have one center back speaker (6.1) or “2Large” (7.1) if you have two center back speakers (7.1). If your center back speakers have limited bass capability or if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the “Small” setting (“1Small” for one speaker, “2Small” for two speakers). If your system has no center back speakers, select the “None” setting. With center back speakers, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6 or other decoders will provide center back signals for any surround mode.

FRONT HEIGHT (Large/Small/None): This setting will be available if the unit is set to F-HEIGHT speakers in a Pro Logic IIz setup. Select the “Large” setting (not available with SMALL front and surround speakers ) to have your vertical height speakers play low bass. If you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the “Small” setting.

The SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu is used to conﬁgure the RSP-1582 for use with your speciﬁc loudspeakers and to determine the bass management conﬁguration as described in the previous overview. The menu is accessed from the MAIN menu.

The following speaker options are available:

FRONT SPEAKERS (Small/Large): Use the “Large” setting to have the front speakers play low bass (full-range). Use the “Small” setting to redirect normal bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer (high-pass ﬁltered).

CENTER SPEAKER(S) (Large/Small/None): Select the “Large” setting (not available with SMALL front speakers) to have the center speaker play low bass (full-range). Select the “Small” setting if your center channel speaker has limited low frequency capability, or if you prefer that the bass be sent to the subwoofer (high-pass). Select the “None” setting if your system does not have a center channel speaker (the surround modes will automatically divide all center channel information equally between the two front speakers, creating a phantom center channel).

ADVANCED: Speaker conﬁguration is generally a global setting for all surround modes and need only be done once. However, for special circumstances, the processor provides the option of setting the speaker conﬁguration independently for each surround mode. Select the ADVANCED SETUP line on the menu and press ENTER to go to the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu described in the following section.

To change a setting on the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu, place the highlight on the desired line using the Up/Down arrow buttons and use the Left/Right arrow buttons to toggle through the available settings. To return to the MAIN menu, select “BACK” on the OSD and press the ENTER button, or press the BACK button. Press the SETUP/MENU button, or select “EXIT” on the OSD to exit setup and return to normal operation.

BACK

In most cases, the standard speaker conﬁguration described above is a global setting and can be used for all surround modes. However, the processor provides the capability to customize these settings for three different modes: Dolby, DTS, and Stereo. For example, you could set up the Dolby and DTS modes for 5.1 channel sound, while the Stereo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with or without a subwoofer. In addition, the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to select a customized high-pass crossover frequency for the front, center, surround, surround back speakers, and the subwoofer.

NOTE: In most systems, the default settings on this menu will provide the most predictable results and most users will not need to change any settings. You should fully understand bass management and have a speciﬁc reason for needing a custom conﬁguration before changing these settings. Otherwise, skip to the following topic, SUBWOOFER SETUP.

The available settings on the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu are as follows:

SPEAKER (Front/Center/Surround/Center back/Front Height/Subwoofer): Select the set of speakers to be conﬁgured with custom settings.

NOTE: “Front Height” will appear as an option when you select “Front Height“ in the C-Back or F-Height setting of SPEAKER SETUP menu and is not available for CROSSOVER, DOLBY, DTS or STEREO setting.

CROSSOVER (40Hz/50Hz/60Hz/70Hz/80Hz/90Hz/100Hz/120Hz/150Hz /200Hz/OFF): This setting for the high-pass and low-pass crossover point is

only active for SMALL speakers settings and the subwoofer. When you ﬁrst access the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the current crossover point will be shown on this line which is set to “100Hz” as the factory default. Change the value of this line only if you want the current speaker to have a different crossover point. This setting ONLY affects redirected bass.

NOTE: The “OFF” setting (available only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range signal to your subwoofer so that you can use its built-in low-pass ﬁlter.

NOTE: When a speaker is set to “Large” on the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this menu, the crossover setting has no effect since, by deﬁnition, a LARGE speaker plays full-range with no bass redirection to the subwoofer and no crossover. Likewise, the “OFF” setting for the subwoofer crossover is not available for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means that the speaker will redirect its bass below a given crossover point to the subwoofer. In addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not available for the MULTI INPUT.

For the subwoofer, the above selections for DOLBY, DTS, and STEREO become “Yes/No/Default”. They will be set to “Default” if the front speakers are set to “Default”, and they would be set to “Yes” if the front speakers are set to “Small”.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to use the default settings on the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the speciﬁc “Large/Small/ None” settings of DOLBY, DTS or STEREO are not available for the other speakers. These speakers will use the default settings.

The options are a range of adjustments from -9 dB to +9 dB and MAX (+10 dB). A setting of 0 dB means that the speciﬁed surround mode will use the master subwoofer level. Any other setting is an offset to the master setting. For example, an adjustment of -2 dB for a particular surround mode means that the subwoofer level will be 2 dB quieter than the master subwoofer level when that surround mode is selected. Use these subwoofer level settings to adjust the relative bass output of various surround modes. Changing the master subwoofer level will increase or decrease the level for all surround modes.

DOLBY (Default/Large/Small/None): Sets the current speaker (shown in the ﬁrst line) to Large, Small, or None, overriding the setting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu. This setting will ONLY take effect with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding. If you want to use the speaker size setting set in the SPEAKER SETUP menu, select “Default”. The “None” setting is not available for FRONT speakers.

DTS (Default/Large/Small/None): The same options described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect with DTS and DTS Neo:6 decoding.

STEREO (Default/Large/Small/None): The same options described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect in STEREO surround mode.

We recommend starting with the settings for all surround modes at the default 0 dB setting during the speaker level calibration of the system and for a period of familiarization after that. As you listen to a variety of source material over time, you may notice that certain surround modes consistently produce too much or too little bass from the subwoofer. If so, then use these menu settings to customize each surround mode. In general, if the master subwoofer level is set properly (i.e. not too loud), individual settings for each surround mode should not be necessary.

To return to the main menu select “BACK” on the OSD or push the BACK button on the remote control or front panel.

NOTE: If you have conﬁgured your system to use two center back speakers, there will be an additional line in the menu, giving you the ability to independently adjust the CENTER BACK LEFT and CENTER BACK RIGHT speakers. If you have selected Front Height speakers in Speaker Configuration, the CENTER BACK speakers option will change to FRONT HEIGHT.

This menu uses ﬁltered pink noise test tones to set equal volume levels for all speakers (FRONT LEFT, CENTER, FRONT RIGHT, SURROUND RIGHT, CENTER BACK/FRONT HEIGHT RIGHT, CENTER BACK/FRONT HEIGHT LEFT, SURROUND LEFT and SUBWOOFER) to ensure proper surround sound reproduction. Setting the output levels using the test procedure provides the most accurate adjustment so that digital surround sound material will be reproduced as it was intended and is a critical step in calibrating the system.

To access this menu and perform the test tone calibration, you can be in any surround mode except BYPASS with any input except MULTI INPUT. Enter the OSD menu system and select SPEAKER LEVEL SETUP from the MAIN MENU to reach this screen.

When you enter the SPEAKER LEVEL SETUP menu, you will hear a test tone coming from the highlighted speaker. Highlight different speakers by moving the cursor to the desired line using the Up/Down arrow buttons. The test tone will shift accordingly to the selected speaker.

Seated in the normal listening location, shift the test tone to the various speakers. Using the one speaker as a reference, listen for any speakers that are noticeably louder or quieter. If so, adjust that speaker’s levels up or down (in 0.5 dB increments) using the Left/Right arrow buttons. Continue switching among the speakers and adjusting until all speakers are the same volume.

To return to the MAIN menu, select “BACK“ on the OSD or press the BACK button. Press the SETUP/MENU button or select “EXIT“ on the OSD to exit setup and return to normal operation.

Set the meter to its 70 dB dial setting with SLOW response and C-weighting, held away from your body at your listening position (mounting the SPL meter on a camera tripod makes this easier). You can point the SPL meter at each speaker as it is being measured; however, positioning the meter in a ﬁxed position pointing at the ceiling is easier and probably produces more consistent results.

Increase the master volume control on the unit until the meter reads 75 dB (+5 dB on the meter scale) when playing the test tone through one of the front speakers. Then, use the individual channel adjustments on the SPEAKER LEVEL SETUP menu to adjust each of the individual speakers, including the subwoofer, to the same 75 dB on the SPL meter.

NOTE: Due to meter weighting curves and room effects, the actual level of the subwoofer may be slightly higher than you measure. To compensate, Dolby suggests setting the subwoofer several dB lower when calibrating with an SPL meter (i.e. set the subwoofer to read 72 dB on the meter instead of 75 dB). Ultimately, the proper subwoofer level must be determined by personal taste and some listeners prefer to set it above 75 dB for ﬁlm soundtracks. Exaggerated bass effects come at the expense of proper blending with the main speakers and place stress on the subwoofer and its amplifier. If you can localize bass from the subwoofer, the subwoofer level may be too high. Music can be useful for ﬁne-tuning the subwoofer level as excessive bass is readily apparent. The proper setting will generally work well for music and movie soundtracks.

Remember the setting of the master volume control used during this calibration. To play a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack at the reference volume level, simply return to that volume setting. Note that most home theater listeners ﬁnd this setting to be excessively loud. Let your own ears be the judge for deciding how loud to playback movie soundtracks and adjust the master volume control accordingly. Regardless of your listening levels, using an SPL meter to calibrate equal levels for all speakers in the system is recommended.

Calibration with an SPL meter:

Calibrating the system with an SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter, rather than by ear, provides more precise results and improves the system’s performance signicantly. Inexpensive SPL meters are widely available and the procedure is quick and easy.

Both Dolby and DTS specify a standard calibration level for all theaters to ensure that soundtracks can be played at the volume level intended by the director of the ﬁlm. This reference level should result in spoken dialog played at a realistic level for normal speech with the loudest peaks in any single channel at about 105 dB. The RSP-1582’s test tones are generated at a precise level (-30 dBFs) relative to the loudest possible digitally recorded sound. At the Dolby or DTS reference level, these test tones should produce a 75 dB reading on an SPL meter.

The SPEAKER DISTANCE SETUP menu, which is reached from the MAIN menu, allows you to set the delay for individual speakers. This ensures that the sound from each speaker arrives simultaneously at the listening position, even when the speakers are not all placed at equal distances from the listener. Increase the delay to speakers located closer to the seating area and decrease the delay to speakers located farther from the seating area.

This Rotel processor makes setting the delay time for each speaker very easy. Simply measure the distance (in feet or meters) from your seating position to each speaker in your system. Set the measured distance in the line for each speaker. The menu provides a line for each speaker conﬁgured in your system and gives a range of settings up to 33 feet (10.6 meters) in 0.25 foot (0.075 m) increments with each increment equivalent to an additional delay of 0.25 ms.

To change a setting, place the highlight on the desired line using the Up/ Down arrow buttons and use the Left/Right arrow buttons to increase or decrease the delay. To return to the MAIN menu, press the BACK button or select “BACK“ on the OSD. Press the SETUP/MENU button or select “EXIT“ on the OSD to exit setup and return to normal operation.
