Rotel Support
We are here to help you with any questions you might have about your Rotel products and devices, or we can offer insight into the world of sound and sound quality.
In some circumstances it may be helpful to perform a factory default reset on the RDV-1092 or RDV-1093. This can be done by selecting the RESTORE DEFAULTS option from the SYSTEM SETUP Menu of the On Screen Display.
You need to press and hold the input you wish to change to for approximately 4 seconds.
The second zone feature requires either an external amplifier to power the speakers in this zone, or if your Rotel receiver offers an amplifier redirect feature, the redirected amplifiers can be used instead. The second zone can only be used with analog signal sources.
There are several different ways to control the remote zone on your Rotel product - from the front panel of the unit, via the remote control, using an external IR remote system, or using an RS232 based control system such as Crestron or Control4. An overview of the various options is provided below, but your authorized dealer would be the best contact for detailed information on this topic to help determine which method would work best for your application.
The zone can be controlled from the front panel of most Rotel products by pressing the ZONE button followed by adjusting the volume or input source. In the case of the RSP-1098, press the PATH button until Zone 2 status information appears on the OSD or TFT. Rotating the RSP-1098 function knob while this is displayed will allow the Zone 2 source to be changed.
The second zone can also be controlled by using the using the ZONE button on the RR-1050, RR-1060 or RR-1061 remote controls.
The third method of controlling the remote zone would involve using the rear 3.5mm IR input labeled ZONE REMOTE IN. This requires the use of an IR repeater system such as those manufactured by Xantech, Niles, and other custom installation manufacturers. This system will allow control of the second zone using a remote in the second zone or an IR-based keypad in the zone.
The final method used for control of the zone is an RS232-based control system such as Crestron or Control4. These systems offer full system automation and often can be programmed to provide detailed feedback such as what the current volume and input the zone is in. This type of control system does require extensive programming, and once again, your authorized Rotel dealer would be the best resource for more information.
Note all of the above also would apply to the third and fourth zone of audio as well for Rotel products that offer this.
The Rotel radios require a UPnP server to stream music from a computer to the system. Unfortunately iTunes is not a UPnP server so if using a Windows PC, Windows Media Player should be configured to monitor your iTunes music library.
Open Windows Media Player and select Tools>Options from the menu bar. Select the Library Tab, then click the Monitor Folders button. Add the folders you want WMP to monitor, including your iTunes Music folder. This will keep WMP in sync with changes in your iTunes library automatically.
You will also need to set up WMP to share your media with the RDG/RCX unit. Go to Library tab>Media Sharing and Allow the Rotel Gateway. See the Owner's Manual for more information.
Open Windows Media Player and select Organize>Manage Libraries>Music from the menu bar. From the Library Locations window select Add to add the folders you want WMP to monitor, including your iTunes Music folder. This will keep WMP in sync with changes in your iTunes library automatically.
You will also need to set up WMP to share your media with the RDG/RCX unit. Go to Stream>More streaming options... and Allow the Rotel Gateway. See the Owner's Manual for more information.
If using a Mac, you will need a UPnP program such as EyeConnect to use the Mac as a UPnP server with the Rotel system. Other UPnP servers may work but have not been tested.
Note the Rotel models are optimized for Windows Media Player 11 and 12.
Rotel amplifiers that do not include signal sense mode will shut down to standby as soon as the 12 volt trigger signal is removed.
Rotel amplifiers that include signal sensing will shut down to standby approximately 5 minutes after no input signal or 12 volt trigger is present.
One exception is the RKB-850/8100 series amplifiers. On the RKB amplifiers, 12 volt trigger shutdown is instant, while signal sense will shut down after 10 minutes of no input signal.
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 On Screen Display (OSD) of the RSP-1582 is only available on this output; the second HDMI output will only display video without any setup menus.
An important step in order for the amplifier redirect feature to be enabled on your Rotel receiver is the receiver must be reset via the FACTORY DEFAULT option immediately after changing the redirect setting. If you leave the menu before performing this default the amplifier redirect setting is not changed.
Please see below for step-by-step details on how to redirect your receivers amplifier channels for either Center Back, Zone 2 or Biamp configurations (not all options apply to every model).
Please note that FACTORY DEFAULT will erase all previously programmed settings so make note of them prior to making this change so you can reprogram them after the reset.
You need to be connected to the internet via your local network to be able to download the registration code. Once you have configured the Rotel to access your network, the code will appear in the display.
The On-Screen menu is available only on the composite and S-video outputs that are labeled "Monitor Out" (or "Mon Out"). Please verify that the composite or S-video cable is connected to the appropriate monitor output connection on the rear panel of the Rotel component. Also verify that the TV is on the correct input as well. Make sure the Rotel remote control is in the AUD mode by pressing the "AUD" button. Then press the Menu/OSD button to activate the on screen menu.
A simple test to verify that the physical connections from the Rotel component to the TV are correct would be to power cycle the Rotel component. When the unit first powers up, a "System Status" screen should appear on the TV for a few seconds, then disappear. If this screen appears, the connections are correct.
