About Rotel

Our story began nearly 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.

Rotel’s 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 Rotel’s own factory.

We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more electronics are produced and later discarded, it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum negative impact on 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.

Getting Started

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

The RC-1580 has a superb phono preamp stage, derived from Rotel’s finest phono preamplifier, the RHQ 10. The preamp stage can be used with either a moving magnet (MM) or a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge. This shows our commitment to phono sound quality and our interest in the recreation of fine music. The RC-1580 is straightforward in its installation and operation. If you have experience with other stereo systems, you shouldn’t find anything perplexing. Simply plug in the associated components and enjoy.

A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. It provides complete information on how to incorporate the RC-1580 into your system as well as general information that will help you get optimum sound performance. Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments. Save the RC-1580 shipping carton and all enclosed packing material for future use. Shipping or moving the RC-1580 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage to your amplifier. Fill out and send in the owner’s registration card packed with the RC-1580. Also, be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required.

Placement
Like all audio components that handle low-level signals, the RC-1580 can be affected by its environment. Do not stack the RC-1580 on top of a power amplifier. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference. We recommend installing the RC-1580 in furniture designed to house audio components. Such furniture is designed to reduce or suppress vibration which can adversely affect sound quality. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about component furniture and proper installation of audio components.

Cables
Be sure to keep the power cords, digital signal cables and regular audio signal cables in your installation away from each other. This will minimize the chance of the regular audio signal cables picking up noise or interference from the power cords or digital cables. Using only high-quality, shielded cables will also help to prevent noise or interference from degrading the sound quality of your system. If you have any questions see your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about the best cable to use with your system.

RR-AT97 Remote Control

The RC-1580 includes a full-function remote control that performs most of the functions of the front panel controls. In addition, it can operate many of the controls on other Rotel components. See the “Controlling Other Components” section of this manual for more information. Most of the RR-AT97 functions duplicate the front panel controls. In this manual, the remote control functions are covered in the same section as the front panel control operation. Numbers in boxes such as 1 indicate items on the front and rear panel control and connection illustrations. See Figure 1 on page 3. Letters in circles such as A indicate items on the RR-AT97 illustration. See Figure 2 on page 3.

Remote Sensor
The Remote Sensor picks up the infrared signals from the remote control. Do not cover or block the sensor. It must be clear of obstructions or the remote control will not work properly. The operation of the Remote Sensor can also be affected if it is exposed to bright light, particularly sunlight. In addition, remote control functions may not work reliably if the batteries in the RR-AT97 are weak.

AC Power and Control
AC Power Input

Note : Be sure to set the Volume control to the minimum (full counterclockwise) position before connecting the power cord.

Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Input receptacle on the rear panel. Do not connect the power cord to the power outlet until all the audio input and output connections have been made.
It is usually best to plug the RC-1580 directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use of extension cords. A heavy-duty multi-tap power outlet strip may be used if it (and the wall outlet) is rated to handle the current demanded by the components connected to it. Your RC-1580 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the rear panel.

Note : Should you move your RC-1580 amplifier to another country, it is possible to reconfigure your amplifier for use on a different line voltage. Do not attempt to perform this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the RC-1580 exposes you to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Rotel factory service department for information. 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 amplifier (as well as other audio and video components) while you are away.

STANDBY Switch

Remote OFF/ON Switch A
STANDBY Indicator
The STANDBY switch and STANDBY indicator 1 is located on the left side of the front panel. To use the RC-1580, press the STANDBY switch. The switch button will remain in its IN position and the ring around the Standby switch will light. In addition, the indicators above the selected Listening and Recording input buttons 89 will light. When the STANDBY switch is pushed in, you can turn the RC-1580 on, or put it in Standby mode, with the ON and OFF buttons A of the RR-AT97 remote control. If you will not be using the RC-1580 for a long period of time, press the front panel STANDBY switch to turn it Off. The button will return to its Out position and all the front panel indicator lights will turn off (except ring around the Standby switch).

Note : Be sure to set the Volume control to the minimum (full counterclockwise) position before you push in the STANDBY switch.

Input Signal Connections w and e

[See Figure 3.] The RC-1580 has conventional RCA-type connectors for all inputs.

ROTEL-RC-1580-Stereo-Control-Amplifie-FIG-4

Note : To prevent loud noises that neither you nor your speakers will appreciate, make sure the system is turned off when you make any signal connections.

Line Level Inputs
The CD, Tuner, and Aux inputs of the RC-1580 are “line level” inputs. These are for connecting the analog outputs from components such as CD players, DVD players, video disc recorders, tuners for audio or video, or VCRs. The Left and Right channels are clearly labeled and should be connected to the corresponding channels of the source component. The Left RCA connectors are white, the Right connectors are red. Use high-quality RCA cables for connecting input source components to the RC-1580. Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for advice about cables.

Phono Input Selector Switch
The Phono input is for a moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) phono cartridge only and is incompatible with line-level components. Set the Phono Input Selector Switch as appropriate for the phono cartridge you are using. Leave the switch button in the out position for a moving magnet cartridge; push the switch in for a moving coil cartridge.

Some high output moving coil cartridges are designed to operate
in the moving magnet position. If you are in doubt about the correct setting, check the instruction manual for your phono cartridge for information regarding its output voltage and the expected input impedance. The Phono input has 47 kOhms input impedance and 2.5 mV sensitivity in the MM position and 100 Ohms input impedance and 0.25 mV sensitivity in the MC position. If you still have questions about the proper setting of the phono input selector switch, consult your authorized Rotel dealer.

Phono Input w and Ground Connection
Plug the cable from the turntable into the appropriate left and right phono inputs. If the turntable has a “ground” wire connect it to the screw terminal to the left of the Phono inputs. It will help prevent hum and noise.

Recorder Connections
Tape 1 input/outputs and Tape 2 outputs can be connected to any playback/record device, Tape 2 inputs are reserved for Theater Bypass Mode, refer to bypass section. When connecting a recorder to the RC-1580, remember that the outputs of the recorder must be connected to the tape inputs of the RC-1580. Similarly the tape outputs of the RC-1580 must be connected to the inputs of the recorder. As with other sources be sure to connect the Left and Right channels of each device to the proper channels on the associated components. Use high quality connecting cables to prevent loss of sound quality.

Output Connections
Most RCA-type output connectors are compatible with most power amplifiers. As always, use high quality cables and be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the RC-1580 to the correct channels of the amplifier.

Note : There are two sets of RCA outputs on the RC-1580. The second set of outputs may be used in custom system configurations to drive a second power amplifier or to supply a signal to a special signal processor.

Theater By-pass Mode

BYPASS indicator
The input marked Tape 2 r has been set to provide a by-pass mode for users requiring a unity gain stage through which they can use their surround sound processor. This input will only function in a by-pass mode so do not connect a tape recording unit to this input.

To use the By-pass mode, plug the front channel output of the surround sound processor into the Tape 2 inputs. When the Tape 2 input B8 is selected, the signal from the processor is sent directly through the preamplifier and bypasses the tone and volume functions. Once made a by-pass mode, the BYPASSindicator of the front panel is turned on. Setting a system up this way provides a way to integrate a stereo amplifier to be used as the front channels of a surround sound system. Only the Tape 2 input can provide the by- pass function. It requires no additional setup, making it easy to switch between normal stereo mode and surround sound mode by using the input selector.

Note : Rotel uses the same operating IR codes for all its audio products. That means that in a situation where the operator will use a remote control then it is recommended that the codes for the RR-AT97 and the RC-1580 be changed. To change the IR code of the RR-AT97, press the Phono button and the 2 buttons at the same time. To change the IR code of the RC-1580, point the RR-AT97 at the RC-1580 and press and hold the 2 button for 5 seconds. The LED in the volume control will flash to indicate the IR code has changed. It’s is probably easiest to choose a third party learning remote control and teach the new source selection codes and those of the surround sound processor into it. Alternatively, you can use the two remote controls to operate the different systems.

Note :
After changing the remote codes for the remote control and the preamplifier as described above, the remote control will no longer operate the Rotel tuners. To return the RR-AT97 IR code to the default setting, press the Phono button and the 1 button at the same time. To return the IR code of the RC-1580 to the default setting, point the RR-AT97 at the RC-1580 and press and hold the 1 button for 5 seconds. The LED in the volume control will flash to indicate the IR code has changed.

IR Inputs and Outputs
External Remote Input u
This 3.5 mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN) receives command codes from industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) located in the main listening room. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.

IR Output
The IR OUT 1 and 2 jacks send IR signals received at the EXTERNAL REM IN jack to an infrared emitter placed in front of a source component or to other Rotel components with compatible rear panel IR input connectors.This output is used to allow IR signals to pass along IR signals from the remote control when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for information on IR repeater systems.

NOTE : The EXT REM IN jack located next to these jacks is for use with an external IR sensor duplicating the front-panel IR sensor and located in the primary zone.

12V Trigger Connections
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using a 12-volt trigger signal sent to them. The RC-1580 provides two 12 volt trigger outputs. When the RC-1580 is turned on, a 12 volt DC signal is sent to the amplifiers to turn them on. When the RC-1580 is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifiers turn off. To use the remote turn-on feature, connect one of the RC-1580 12V TRIGGER OUT jacks to the 12-volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.

Note : The number “1” 12V trigger signal is turned off when headphones are plugged into the front panel headphone outlet. See the Phones Output section.

Computer I/O Connector
The RC-1580 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-AT97 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 RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling. For additional information on the connections, software, and operating codes for computer control of the RC-1580, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Phones Output
The Phones output allows you to connect headphones for private listening. This output accommodates standard 1/8” stereo mini plugs. If your headphones have a 1/4” plug you will need an adapter plug. Contact your authorized Rotel dealer, to get the correct adapter plug.

Note : Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs. The power amplifier will continue to receive a signal and the speakers will continue to play. However, when headphones are plugged in, the 12V turn-on signal from the number “1” 12V Trigger Output is cut off. (The number “2” 12V Trigger output remains on.) So if your system is configured to use the number “1” 12V Trigger Output to turn the amplifier on and off, plugging in headphones will automatically turn off the power amplifier.

Media Player Input
A 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo input socket for a “Media Player” is provided on the front of the RC-1580 and is selected by pressing the AUX 3 Listening input buttons. Any portable stereo cassette, compact disc player or hard disc playback device can be connected via this input. If the Media Player input is connected to the headphone outputs of the player note that you may need to adjust the volume control on the player for sound to be heard. If the sound is loud and distorted turn down the volume on the player. If the sound is not loud enough, even when the RC-1580 volume control is turned up fairly high, then carefully turn up the volume control on the player.

Note : When the 3.5mm (mini jack) is inserted into the Media Player socket the rear input called AUX3 is disconnected. Removing the 3.5mm plug from the Media player socket will allow the rear AUX3 input to function.

Audio Controls

Volume Controls 7 and C The front panel Volume control 7 increases or decreases the volume in both channels at the same time. Turn it clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease the volume. On the RR-AT97 remote use the Volume + and – buttons C to increase or decrease the volume level.

Mute Button E
Remote Only Push the MUTE button on the remote once to turn the sound off. Press the button again to restore previous volume levels. The LED in the volume control will flash when the unit is muted.

Note : Pressing the volume buttons on the remote also cancels the muting function.

Balance Control
The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right balance of the sound output. Normally the control should be in the center position. In some situations, typically when the main listening position is not ideally centered between the speakers, it may be necessary to adjust the control to achieve proper left-to- right balance. Turning the control counter-clockwise shifts the sound balance to the left. Turning the control clockwise shifts the sound balance to the right.

Tone On/Off Switch
When the Tone Switch is in the Off (out) position the Bass and Treble Control circuits are bypassed to ensure the purest possible sound. Leave the Tone Switch in the Off position unless you want to use the Tone Controls. Push in the Tone Switch if you want to adjust the Tone Controls.

Bass and Treble Controls
When the Tone Switch is pushed in, turning the Bass and Treble Controls adjust the tone balance of the sound. Turn the Controls clockwise to increase the bass or treble output. Turn the Controls counterclockwise to decrease the bass or treble output. A properly set up high-performance audio system produces the most natural sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these controls sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up (clockwise). This increases the power output in the bass or treble range, increasing the load on the amplifier and speakers.

Listening to Selector Buttons
Press one of the Listening Selector Buttons to select the input signals that goes to the main outputs and to the power amplifier – or, more simply, which source is heard.

Recording Selector Buttons
Press one of the Recording Selector Buttons to select the input signal that goes to the record outputs. When you are not recording, press the Off button. This minimizes the chance of interference from other components in the system. Having a separate Recording and Listening selector adds a significant degree of flexibility in how you can use the RC-1580. For example by selecting CD with the Record Selector and selecting Tuner with the Listening Selector you can record a CD onto a tape while listening to the tuner. If you have a three- head recorder or a DAT recorder that allows simultaneous read and write operation, you can monitor your recording by pressing the TAPE 1 LISTENING button.

Note : The TAPE 2 input is a dedicated Theater By-Pass input. See the information in the Theater Bypass Mode section on the preceding page.

Controlling Other Components
In addition to operating many of the controls of the RC-1580, the RR-AT97 remote control can operate basic features of some Rotel CD players, DVD players, and AM/FM tuners.

CD Functions
The / PLAY, . STOP, , PAUSE, { } TRACK and, RANDOM buttons, and NUMERIC buttons (0 – +10) operate many Rotel CD players after the CD Listening button on the remote has been pressed.

DVD Functions
The / PLAY, . STOP, , PAUSE, { } TRACK and RANDOM buttons operate Rotel DVD players, after the AUX1 Listening button on the remote has been pressed.

Tuner Functions
The BAND, TUNING < >, and additional tuning feature buttons (PTY, TA, TP, etc.) operate Rotel tuners, after the TUNER listening button on the remote has been pressed.

Note : By default, the RR-AT97 operates the Rotel RT-1080/RT-1082/RT-1084 tuners. The remote can be reprogrammed to operate the RT-940AX tuner. This programming only needs to be done once:

  • To program for the RT-940AX: press the ON button and the 2 buttons simultaneously.
  • To program for the RT-1080/RT-1082/RT-1084: press the ON button and the 1 button simultaneously.

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 RC-1580, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:

Standby Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Standby Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RC-1580 is plugged into the wall power outlet. 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, and the Standby Indicator still will not light when the RC-1580 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 signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure the cables from the signal source to the RC-1580 inputs are connected properly. Be sure the Listening Selector is set to the proper input. Check the power amplifier for power and proper operation. Check all the wiring between the RC-1580 and the power amplifier, and the power amplifier and speakers.

Resetting the IR Code
If you reset the RC-1580 IR code to use the Bypass function, you can reset it to the default code using the procedure described in the Note in the Bypass Function section of this manual. Or you can use the front panel buttons. While RC-1580 is turned on, press and hold the Recording Off button 9 for 5 seconds. The LED for the Listening CD button 8 will turn On to indicate the IR code is reset. If the Bypass LED is lit it will turn Off.
