Rotel RSX-1562 AV Receiver

Rotel has over 50 years of experience in designing and manufacturing high performance electronics for home entertainment. A fine example of this is our RSX-1562, a 7.1 channel surround-sound receiver that can serve as master control and amplifier for all audio/video sources and speakers in a home theatre 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, thereby increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connections.

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 24-bit/192kHz 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 preamplifier includes a 10 band parametric EQ and advanced bass management.

Multizone outputs provide composite video and analogue audio for up to 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.
