Remote OFF/ON Switch A

STANDBY Indicator

The STANDBY switch and STANDBY indicator
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
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
RR-AT97 remote control. Also, turn it on with the Listening input button
when the unit is in Standby mode.
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.
Note: Be sure to set the Volume control to the minimum (full
counterclockwise) position before you push in the STANDBY switch.
Input Signal Connections
[See Figure 3.]
The RC-1580 has conventional RCA-type connectors for all inputs.
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

e
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.

RC-1580 Stereo Control Amplifier
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

and Ground Connection
w
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.
