RSP-1572 SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR
Operating the RSP-1572
Considering its large number of features, settings and options, this Rotel
RSP-1572 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 function of the front panel and
the remote control. Then, we explain the basic operations such as turning
the unit on and off, adjust volume, selecting a source for listening, etc.
Following that is a detailed explanation of surround sound modes and
how to configure the unit for various types of recordings. Finally, there
are instructions for additional features and zone operation. All of these
are features that may be used in normal operation. The last section of
the manual (Configuration) details options that may be selected during
initial setup and configuration of the unit, many of which will be set once
and left untouched.
Throughout this manual, numbers in square boxes refer to the main unit
illustration at the front of this manual. Letters 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
