NOTE: It is recommended to Reset Factory Defaults after the software 
update is complete.
• PC-USB: This shows current loaded software version for PC-USB processor.
•  SIGNAL SENSE: Check if an audio signal is present on the congured 
Signal Sense input. The RC-1572MKII monitors the data stream to 
determine if there is audio. If there is no audio detected for 10 minutes, 
the RC-1572MKII will enter Signal Sense Power Mode. When in Signal 
Sense Power Mode and the RC-1572MKII detects audio on Signal Sense 
input, the unit will automatically power on. To disable this function, select 
the OFF option which is the factory default setting.
NOTE: When the SIGNAL SENSE function is activated, the RC-1572MKII  
will consume additional power in signal sense standby mode.
NOTE: Due to local power consumption regulations the SIGNAL SENSE 
 function is not available in all markets.
• FACTORY DEFAULT: This sets the unit back to the original state as when 
it left the factory. Press the + button on the front panel or the Right button 
on the remote control to select <YES> then press the ENTER button on the 
front panel or the ENT button on the remote control.
NOTE: All previously configured options will be erased and reset to 
the factory default settings.
Troubleshooting 
Most difculties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, 
or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area 
of the difculty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault 
and make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the 
RC-1572MKII, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions: 
Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated 
The Power Indicator ring around the power button and the basic items in 
the Display window should be illuminated whenever the RC-1572MKII is 
plugged into the wall power outlet and the POWER switch is pushed in. If 
it does not illuminated, test the power outlet with another electrical device, 
such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a 
switch that has been turned off. 
Fuse Replacement 
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, 
but the Power Indicator still will not illuminated when the RC-1572MKII is 
plugged into the wall outlet, it indicates that the internal power fuse may 
have blown. If you believe this has happened, contact your authorized Rotel 
dealer to get the fuse replaced. 
No Sound 
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure the 
cables from the signal source to the RC-1572MKII inputs are connected 
properly. Check all the wiring between the RC-1572MKII and the power 
amplier, and the speakers.
Cannot Connect via Bluetooth
If you cannot pair your Bluetooth enabled device to the RC-1572MKII, delete 
the memory of the previous connection on the RC-1572MKII and on your 
device. On your device this is often listed as “Forget this Device”. Then try 
to make the connection again.
