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-1590, 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-1590 is plugged
into the wall power outlet and the POWER switch is pushed in. If it does not
light, 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 light when the RC-1590 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-1590 inputs are connected properly.
Check all the wiring between the RC-1590 and the power amplier, and
the speakers.
