7. Connect the center back right speaker (or vertical height right

speaker) to the binding posts labeled “CENTER BACK/VERTICAL

HEIGHT/ZONE/FRONT” 2/RIGHT.

Note: Be sure that no loose wire strands can touch adjacent wires

or connectors. After you have connected the speakers, you need to

configure the receiver 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.

Redirect Feature

This Rotel receiver has a “redirect” feature that allows you to use the

Front left and Front right or the Center Back ampliﬁer channels to

power remote Zone speakers, or use the Center Back channels for bi-

amping the Front speakers in the main room.

For example, you might use a separate Rotel stereo power ampliﬁer

to drive the front speakers and then redirect the unused ampliﬁer

channels in the receiver to power two speakers in a remote location.

If your system does not have center back speakers, you can redirect

the built-in Center Back channel ampliﬁers to drive a pair of speaker in

Zone 2, 3 or 4. Alternatively, if you wish to bi-amp the front speakers

in the main room, you can redirect the Center Back channels to “Front”

to provide the necessary two additional front power channels.

This feature is conﬁgured using the Default Setup menu in the On-

Screen Display system. See the Setup section in this manual.

Note: If you wish to use REDIRECT, you must make this selection

before making any other speaker setup decisions, as the system will be

reset to the factory defaults. Any setup programming carried out prior

to selecting the REDIRECT will be lost. See Default Setup in the Setup

section of this manual.

Connecting a Subwoofer n

See Figure 3

To hook up a powered subwoofer, connect a standard RCA audio cable

from either of the two PREOUT 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 hook

up 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 Setup section of this manual.

Ampliﬁers n

To hook up optional power ampliﬁers, connect an audio cable from

each PREOUT jack to the input of the ampliﬁer channel that will power

the corresponding speaker. In a full home theater system, you will

need to make as many as seven different connections in addition to

the subwoofer. These connections are labeled FRONT L&R, CENTER,

and REAR L&R. There are two CENTER jacks, use either jack for a

single center channel or both if you have two center channels. In

six or seven channel systems, you will make one or two additional

connections for center back speaker(s). These jacks are labeled CB1/

LVH and CB2/RVH, for either center back channels or vertical height

channels.

AM Antenna o

See Figure 10

The receiver includes a plastic loop antenna to receive AM radio

signals. Remove this antenna from the box and locate it near the

receiver. It can be tacked to a wall, using the mounting tab provided.

Alternatively, you can fold the center portion of the antenna to form a

tabletop stand.

Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from the loop antenna to

the push terminals, labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each

terminal. It does not matter which wire attaches to which terminal, but

make sure that the connections are solid and that the two wires do not

touch.

You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient the antenna to ﬁnd the

best position.

Note: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 300 ohm twin-

conductor wire to the terminals in place of the loop antenna.

FM Antenna i

See Figure 10

The receiver is supplied with a T-shaped indoor FM antenna. Connect

the coax F-type plug to the FM antenna connector of the receiver. For

best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna. Eyelets at both ends of

the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment with

positioning for best reception.

Connecting Monitor

----HDTV Monitor/Video Recording

See Figure 4

A key feature of this Rotel receiver is that it can send a video signal to

any HDTV monitor in exactly the format that best matches the native mode

and resolution of the TV.

Digital HDTVs, such as LCD, LED and Plasma ﬂat-screens, display digital

signals directly. These TVs should be connected to the receiver using the

HDMI digital outputs.

The component outputs of the RSX-1562 can be connected to an analog

HDTV display, but no OSD menu will be available.

HDMI digital connection: Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI

OUT connector on the back of the receiver. Connect the other end of the

cable to the HDMI input connector on the back of the HDTV.

You can usually connect the HDMI output of the receiver to a monitor with

DVI-D inputs by using an appropriate HDMI-DVI adapter.

Note: In order for HDMI signals to be displayed properly, the TV monitor

must be compatible with HDCP copy protection.
