The Dynamic Range option on the OSD cannot be accessed to change its settings.

Dynamic Range is a feature that is only available for Dolby Digital soundtracks. As such, this setting cannot be accessed or modified unless the unit is in Dolby Digital mode.

Applicable Models:
RSP-1066 | RSP-1068 | RSP-1069 | RSP-1098 | RSP-1570 | RSP-1572 | RSP-1582 | RSX-1055 | RSX-1056 | RSX-1057 | RSX-1058 | RSX-1065 | RSX-1067 | RSX-1550 | RSX-1560 | RSX-1562

The front display of my RLC-1080 displays "Inverter Overload".

An “Inverter Overload” error message is usually caused by a dead battery in the RLC-1080. To test this, power off the RLC-1080, then disconnect the internal battery and power on the unit back on. It should note there is no battery but will work normally otherwise. If this is the case, you need only replace the battery in the unit to resolve this.

Replacement batteries are available from a wide range of suppliers. The battery is an APC brand SKU# RBC63. A search of this SKU should yeild many options to order.

The front panel display of the CD player shows “OVER”

The track display of this CD player can display up to 16 tracks. The OVER display on the front panel of the CD player will appear when discs with more than 16 tracks are loaded into the unit to indicate there are more tracks than are being displayed.

The Internet radio station has stopped playing and the device appears to be "locked up".

Should the Rotel unit lose its internet connection it will automatically try to re-connect but there may be exceptional circumstances when it will be necessary to re-boot the product. To make a complete clean re-boot disconnect the product from the AC and plug it back in again.

Applicable Models:
RCX-1500 | RDG-1520 | RT-09 | RT-12

The RCX-1500 produces a whirring noise on startup - is this normal?

This is normal - this is simply the CD mechanism resetting itself. A software update has reduced this startup noise as well, so updating the software on the device may also help.

RCX-1500

The receiver does not switch into Dolby Digital EX mode for movies with this format.

The RSX-1055 and RSX-1065 surround receivers have 3 different 6.1/7.1 surround formats available for digital sources – Dolby Digital EX, dts ES, and Rotel XS Expanded surround.  For all dts soundtracks dts ES will decode additional surround information for the center back speakers. With Dolby Digital soundtracks however the default setting for the unit is to use Rotel XS Expanded surround for your center back information. To switch the default mode from Rotel XS to Dolby Digital EX, press the ‘+’ button on your remote control to cycle between both surround modes. Changing the mode to DD EX will set this as the default 6.1/7.1surround mode for all future Dolby Digital sources.

The receiver does not switch into Dolby Digital EX or DTS ES modes for movies with this format.

Rotel surround receivers have several different 6.1/7.1 surround formats available for digital sources – Dolby Digital EX, dts ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Rotel XS Expanded surround. The Rotel receiver will "remember" the last used 6.1/7.1 processing mode it was set to and will use that as the default each time the same format is received. For example, when listening to a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack the mode is set to Dolby Digital + PLIIx to use Pro Logic IIx to add the additional rear channels.  The next time a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack is played the receiver will swicth to Dolby Digital + PLIIx automatically. A separate default is remembered for dts soundtracks as well.

To switch the default mode, when listening to a Dolby or DTS 5.1 soundtrack, press the 'SUR+' button, following by the ‘+’ button on your remote control to cycle between the available surround modes. Changing the mode in this way will set this as the default 6.1/7.1surround mode for all future Dolby Digital / dts sources.

Applicable Models:
RSP-1068 | RSP-1069 | RSP-1098 | RSP-1570 | RSP-1572 | RSX-1056 | RSX-1057 | RSX-1058 | RSX-1067 | RSX-1550 | RSX-1560 | RSX-1562

The receiver will not turn off when using the power button.

Rotel receivers offer several different Power options, one of which includes a mode to keep the unit powered on at all times.

To change this back to its default power setting, access the OTHER OPTIONS selection of the Main Menu on the OSD.  Change the POWER selection from ALWAYS ON to STANDBY to set it back to default.

Applicable Models:
RSP-1066 | RSP-1068 | RSP-1069 | RSP-1098 | RSP-1570 | RSP-1572 | RSX-1055 | RSX-1056 | RSX-1057 | RSX-1058 | RSX-1065 | RSX-1067 | RSX-1550 | RSX-1560 | RSX-1562

The RSP-1582 is not sending audio output to the TV when I have set the Audio Mode to “HDMI Audio Output Only”.

Make sure that you have connected the HDMI output from the RSP-1582 to the TV using the HDMI output labeled “ARC/OSD” on the rear panel of the RSP-1582. The secondary HDMI output will only pass video and will not include the audio signal to the TV regardless of the Audio Mode setting.

RSP-1582
