VIDEO 1–5 Audio Inputs f
Five pairs of RCA inputs (VIDEO IN 1–5) pro-
vide connections for left/right analog audio
signals from five additional source components.
These inputs have corresponding video inputs
and are used for VCRs, satellite TV tuners,
DVD players, etc. However, they may also be
used for additional audio only components,
simply by omitting the corresponding video
connections.
VIDEO 1–3 Audio Outputs g
Three pairs of RCA jacks (VIDEO OUT 1–3)
provide connections for sending line level left
and right analog audio signals for recording
to a VCR.
These connections correspond to the VIDEO
IN 1-3 connections. Make sure that you are
consistent. If you hook up a particular VCR
to the VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1
outputs to the same VCR.
NOTE: There are no analog audio outputs
for VIDEO 4 & 5. Therefore, in an elabo-
rate system, hook up all of the VCRs and
recording devices to VIDEO 1–3 and use
VIDEO 4 & 5 for playback only compo-
nents.
NOTE: Video 1–3 can be used for audio-
only tape decks, simply omitting the corre-
sponding video connections.
MULTI Inputs r
A set of RCA inputs accept up to 7.1 channels
of analog signals from a DVD-A or SACD
player. There are inputs for FRONT L & R,
CENTER, SUB, REAR L & R, and CENTER
BACK 1 & 2.
These inputs bypass all digital processing in
the RSP-1068 and are routed directly to the
Volume control and preamp outputs.
There are two subwoofer options for the MULTI
input. Normally, the .1 channel input is passed
through directly to the subwoofer output. An
optional bass redirect feature duplicates the
7 main channels, sums them, and sends this
mono signal through a 100 Hz analog low
filter to the subwoofer output. This provides
an unaltered analog bypass for the seven
main channels along with a subwoofer signal
derived from those channels.
Preamp Outputs y
A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs
sends the RSP-1068’s line level output signals
to external amplifiers and powered subwoofers.
These outputs are variable level, adjusted by the
RSP-1068 volume control. The eight connectors
provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER 1
& 2, SURROUND L & R, CENTER BACK CB1
& CB2, and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.
NOTE: Depending on your system configu-
ration, you may use some or all of these
connections. For example, if you only have
one center channel, connect it to the CEN-
TER 1 output. If you only have one center
back channel, connect it to the CB1 output.
ZONE 2 Audio Outputs h
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled AUDIO OUT/
ZONE 2, sending analog audio signals to an
external amplifier for a remote zone. These
outputs can be configured as either fixed or vari-
able level using the ZONE 2 SETUP menu.
NOTE: Only analog input signals are avail-
able at the Zone 2 outputs. Source compo-
nents connected to only the digital inputs
are not available in Zone 2.
To configure your system for Zone 2 operation,
connect the left and right Zone 2 outputs on the
RSP-1068 to the left and right channel inputs
of the amplifier powering the remote speakers,
using standard RCA audio cables.
Video Inputs & Outputs
These connections are used for connecting
video signals to and from the RSP-1068. See
the Making Connections section for specific
instructions for each type of component.
The RSP-1068 provides Composite, S-Video,
and Component Video connections. Composite
video connections simplify system configuration;
however, S-Video connections typically provide
better picture quality. Component Video con-
nections are required for HDTV or progressive
scanned DVD video. Be aware of the following
in the configuration of your system:
On Screen Display: The RSP-1068 OSD
system is available on the TV monitor, regardless
of what type of connection is made from the
TV MONITOR outputs to the TV set.
NOTE: When using a progressive scan or
1080i video signal from the Component
Video inputs, the TV monitor cannot dis-
play the video signal and the OSD menus
at the same time. A “progressive” setting in
the Other Options setup menu allows the
use of the main OSD setup menus, even
with progressive or HDTV signals. When
the main OSD setup menus are activated,
the progressive scan video input is inter-
rupted and restored when the OSD menus
are cancelled. The temporary OSD infor-
mation displays (such as volume setting,
etc.) are not displayed.
Output Conversion: The RSP-1068 converts
composite and S-Video signals to Component
Video signals for output to an NTSC or PAL
standard TV monitor. For maximum conve-
nience, connect the RSP-1068 to the TV monitor
with Component Video connections. S-Video
signals cannot be converted to composite
outputs and vice versa.
NOTE: When a video input or inputs
are selected for progressive mode on the
Other Options menu, the conversion from
composite or S-Video to Component Video
output is not available for those inputs. The
conversion from composite or S-VIDEO to
Component Video output is only available
for the other video inputs.
Many digital HDTV monitors adjust scan rates
and other video parameters depending on the
type of input connection. You may wish to make
multiple connections between the RSP-1068
and the TV monitor, switching inputs on the TV
to take advantage of these features.
VIDEO 1–5
Composite Video Inputs k
Five inputs accepts standard composite video
signals from source components using standard
75 ohm RCA video cables.
VIDEO 1–3
Composite Video Outputs ;
Three RCA jacks, labeled COMPOSITE VIDEO
OUT 1–3, provide connections for sending
composite video signals for recording on a
VCR or other recording device.
These connections correspond to the VIDEO
IN 1-3 connections. Make sure that you are
consistent. If you hook up a particular VCR
to the VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1
output to the same VCR.
