Info Sheet

Rotel has over 50 years of experience in designing and
manufacturing high performance electronics for home
entertainment. Our latest advanced component is the
new RSX-1562, a 7.1 channel, surround-sound receiver
that can serve as master control and amplier for all audio
/video sources and speakers in a home theater system.
The RSX-1562 builds upon the excellence established
by its highly acclaimed predecessor, the RSX-1560,
but with the addition of new, improved circuitry and
technologies such as HDMI
®
1.4 with 3D. In addition,
the advent of so many video sources such as a cable
or satellite box, DVRs, DVD players, and WiFi or Ethernet
audio / video feeds from devices such as Apple TV
®
and
Roku
®
etc., have necessitated adding more HDMI inputs.
The RSX-1562 now has six HDMI 1.4 inputs and two
HDMI 1.4 outputs, one with an Audio Return Channel
(ARC). The ARC in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV via a single
HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream” to an A/V
receiver or surround audio controller, increasing user
exibility and eliminating the need for any separate
S/PDIF audio connection.
A USB front input for iPod/iPhone/iPad or other MP3
player use is provided. The USB input provides a digital
connection so that the RSX-1562’s advanced 24Bit/192K
DACs can provide the critical decoding. Additionally,
the receiver incorporates Bluetooth operation so that
a physical connection of portable audio players (which
have this capability), is not required. To provide even
more audio versatility, the preamplier includes a 10
band parametric EQ, and advanced bass management.
Video signals are handled by the latest generation
Faroudja
®
Torino FLI30336 Cortez Advanced Platform
offering the most robust set of Faroudja DCDi Cinema
video processing technologies available. Torino
combines unique analog and digital processing to
drastically reduce video noise without sacricing image
quality and sharpness. It also offers next-generation
Faroudja RealColor, color management technologies.
The Faroudja Torino includes an integrated 3D video
decoder. The RSX-1562 is designed to support 3D
video signals, whether from Blu-ray players or set-top
boxes. The RSX-1562 supports all traditional audio and
video processing features with Dolby
®
TrueHD, Dolby
Digital Plus, DTS
®
HD Master Audio, DTS HD and more.
Dual 32 Bit DSP’s and 24Bit/192K audio DACs ensure
high sound quality and performance.
The ampliers on board the RSX-1562 are ICE
®
Class
D design. The power output of the receiver is 7 x 100
watts into 8 ohms @20Hz - 20kHz and can double that
gure at 4 ohms. Due to their efcient design, the surround
sound receiver runs relatively cool even at higher levels
of operation. As heat is a liability for all electronics, this
feature benets the longevity of the unit. Rotel has one
of the better warranties in the industry for receivers at
5 years parts and labor.
Multi zone outputs provide composite video and analog
audio for 3 zones. Zone control includes source selection,
volume and on/off. The RSX-1562 front panel display
shows current source, volume and DSP mode. The
OSD is available for customer setup using the HDMI
video output.
The RSX-1562 is a superbly engineered, surround-sound
receiver capable of delivering outstanding audio and video
performances from all your music and movie sources.
