not have corresponding OUTPUT connections.
If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you
use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all analog
audio and video connections.
Connect a video cable (Composite Video,
S-Video, and/or Component Video) from the
output of the TV tuner to the appropriate VIDEO
IN 1–5 input. For HDTV signals, you should
use Component Video connections.
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
the TV tuner to the left and right AUDIO IN
jacks corresponding to the VIDEO IN input
selected above.
Optional: Connect the digital output of the
TV tuner to any one of the OPTICAL IN or
COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSP-1068.
Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that
digital input to the same video input source
used above. For example, if you use the Video
4 inputs above, assign the digital input to the
VIDEO 4 input.
AM/FM Tuner a
See Figure 6
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
the tuner to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled TUNER
(left and right).
There are no digital connections or video con-
nections for an AM/FM tuner.
Audio Recorder etd
See Figure 7
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
an audio tape deck to the AUDIO IN jacks
labeled TAPE IN (left and right).
Connect the left/right AUDIO OUT/TAPE OUT
jacks to the inputs on the audio tape deck.
Optional: For a digital recording device,
connect the digital output of the recorder to
one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital
inputs on the RSP-1068. Use the INPUT SETUP
screen to assign that digital input to the TAPE
source. If the recording device accepts a digital
recording input, connect one of the OPTICAL
OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections to the
digital input of the recorder.
No video connections are required for an
audio recording device.
Video Recorder
etfgkl;'
See Figure 8
VCR connections can be made to the VIDEO
1, VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3 inputs and outputs.
If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you
use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all analog
audio and video connections.
Connect video cables (Composite Video,
S-Video, and/or Component Video) from the
output of the VCR to the appropriate VIDEO
IN 1–3 input.
Connect video cables (Composite Video,
S-Video, and/or Component Video) from the
VIDEO OUT jacks to the VCR inputs.
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
the VCR to one pair of the AUDIO IN jacks
labeled VIDEO 1–3.
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks for
VIDEO 1–3 to the analog inputs on the VCR.
Optional: For a digital recording device,
connect the digital output of the recorder to
one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital
inputs on the RSP-1068. Use the INPUT SETUP
screen to assign that digital input to the VIDEO
source (VIDEO 1, 2, or 3) used for the previous
connections. If the recording device accepts
a digital recording input, connect one of the
OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections
to the digital input of the recorder.
DVD-A or SACD Player r
See Figure 9
To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player (or any
external surround decoder), use audio RCA
cables to connect the outputs of the player to the
RCA jacks labeled MULTI INPUT, making sure
that you observe proper channel consistency, i.e.
connect the right front channel to the R FRONT
input, etc. Depending on your system configura-
tion, make six connections (FRONT L & R, SUR-
ROUND L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER),
seven connections (adding a CENTER BACK
connection), or eight connections (adding two
CENTER BACK connections).
The MULTI inputs are analog bypass inputs,
passing signals directly through to the Volume
Control and preamp outputs, bypassing all of
the digital processing. The RSP-1068 provides
an optional bass redirect feature that duplicates
the seven main channels and passes them
through an analog 100 Hz low pass filter,
creating a summed mono subwoofer output
derived from the main channels. See the INPUT
SETUP menu in the Setup section of this manual
for details on bass redirect feature.
TV Monitor ]z
See Figure 10
Connect the TV MONITOR output to the cor-
responding input on your television monitor,
using composite video, S-Video, and/or
Component Video cables.
NOTE: The RCA composite video output
only sends signals from RCA composite
video source inputs to the TV monitor.
The S-Video output only sends signals
from S-Video source inputs to the TV. The
RSP-1068 upconverts composite and
S-Video signals to Component Video
signals. Therefore, the Component Video
output sends signals from any source input
to the TV.
When configuring the unit, you must specify
either an NTSC or a PAL standard TV moni-
tor. See the Other Options menu in the Setup
section of this manual.
Connecting Amplifiers y
See Figure 11
The RSP-1068 has preamp outputs for connec-
tions to power amplifiers to drive up to seven
speakers in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel surround
sound audio system: right/left front channels,
center channel, right/left surround channels,
plus one or two center back channels.
To hook up amplifiers, connect an audio cable
from each PREOUT jack to the input of the am-
plifier channel that will power the corresponding
speaker. In a full home theater system, you
will make up to seven different connections in
addition to the subwoofer. These connections
are labeled FRONT L & R, CENTER, and REAR
L & R. There are two CENTER jacks, use either
jack for a single center channel or both if
you have two center channels. In six or seven
channel systems, make one or two additional
connections for center back channels(s). These
jacks are labeled CB1 and CB2. Use CB1 for
a single center back channel.
