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.
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, 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 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.
About the RCD-1570
Simply stated, the RCD-1570 is designed to do one thing·deliver the most
detailed, nuanced sound from every disc. Whether it is a conventional
CD, or an MP3 or WMA encoded disc, the RCD-1570 will faithfully
reproduce all that is recorded on the disc.
While the RCD-1570 was under development. The design team went
far beyond the usual measurable technical performance characteristics.
Listening panels spent hundreds of hours fine tuning the audio performance,
choosing the components that produced the best sound, that would „release
the emotion in the music‰. Whatever the artist and recording engineers
put on the disc, the RCD-1570 will deliver.
That said, the RCD-1570 does feature some impressive hardware. The
digital-to-analogue converter is a state of the art DAC from the world
renowned British manufacturer, Wolfson. This very high performance
stereo DAC is specifically designed for audio applications such as CD,
DVD, and home theatre systems.

AC Power and Control
AC Power Input
]
Your RCD-1570 is configured at the factory for the proper AC voltage in
the country where you purchased it, either 120 volts or 230 volts. The
AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back panel.
Note: Should you move your CD player 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 RCD-1570 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 use only
the cord appropriate for your country/region.
The RCD-1570 should be plugged directly into a 2-pin polarized wall
outlet or into the switched outlet on another component in your audio
system. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of the RCD-1570 is turned
off (in the „out‰ position). Then, connect the supplied power cord to the
AC power receptacle on the rear of the unit and the AC power outlet.
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
your CD player (as well as other audio and video components) while

Using a standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect the RCD-1570Ês
digital output to the digital input connector on the outboard D/A converter.
When playing CD-DA, MP3 and WMA discs the Digital Output provides
a PCM data stream. When a DTS-CD is played a DTS data stream is
provided.
Note: When an HDCD disc is played „HDCD‰ appears in the display.
However the analog output is not HDCD decoded.
12 Volt Trigger Input
[
The RCD-1570 can be activated by a 12 volt trigger signal. The trigger
input accepts any control signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30
volts. When a cable is connected to the 12V input and a trigger signal
is present, the RCD-1570 is activated. When the trigger signal is turned
off, the unit goes into standby mode. The front panel power indicator
remains lit, but the display goes dark and the unit will not operate.
Note: When using the 12V Trigger feature, leave the POWER button
in the ON position.
EXT REMOTE IN Jack
p
This 3.5mm mini-jack receives command codes from industry-standard
infrared receivers via hard-wired connections. This feature could prove
useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is
blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on these
external repeaters and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack
receptacle.
Computer I/O Connector
i
The RCD-1570 can be operated from a personal computer running
audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is
accomplished by sending the operating codes normally sent by the RR-D98
remote control over a hard-wired network connection from the computer.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary connection on the back
panel. It accepts standard DB-9 Male-to-Male plug cable.
For additional information on the connections, software, and operating
codes for computer control of the RCD-1570, contact your authorized
Rotel dealer.
Operation
The RCD-1570 can be operated using its front panel buttons or from
corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Specific
instructions for each of these controls are detailed below. Most of the
buttons are duplicated on the front panel and on the IR remote control.
However, there are a few exceptions where the buttons are only available
on one or the other. These exceptions are noted in the instructions.

them with the TRACK buttons, pressing the PROGRAM button after
each selection.
Once you have memorized a play list, the RCD-1570 remains in PROGRAM
mode until you eject the disc or press the STOP button twice in succession.
If you press the PLAY button, the memorized program will play instead
of the entire disc, starting with the first selection in the memorized list.
When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most functions that would
normally affect the entire disc operate on just the memorized program. For
example, the TRACK buttons advance to the next track in the memorized
program, not the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT button (see
below) continuously plays the memorized program, not the entire disc.
Note: The Random Play feature cannot be used when using the
Programmed Play feature.

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections,
or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area
of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the
fault and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound
from the RCD-1570, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Power Indicator and the basic items in the Display window should
be lit whenever the RCD-1570 is plugged into the wall power outlet and
the Power button is pushed in. If it does not light, test the power outlet
with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet
being used is not controlled by a switch that has been turned off.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, but
the Power Indicator and the Display still will not light when the RCD-1570
is plugged into the wall outlet, it indicates that the internal power fuse may
have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your authorized
Rotel dealer to get the fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the cables between the RCD-1570 and the amplifier inputs to be
sure they are connected properly. Be sure the amplifier input that the
RCD-1570 is selected. Be sure the tape monitor system of the amplifier
has not been activated. Check the wiring between the amplifier and
the speakers.
