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

Unpacking
Remove the unit carefully from its packaging. 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 or with the optionally included rack ears. This will make
initial connection, 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
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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

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-to-
Female 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:

18 RSP-1582 Surround Sound Processor
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

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.
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 aDVD, Blu-ray, Cable,Satellite, GameConsole andHDTV 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.

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).
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.
