ROTEL 7.1 Surround Sound Receiver RSX-1067 - Manual (Page 14)

14 RSX-1067 Surround Sound Receiver
Cable, Satellite, or HDTV Tuner
TV tuner connections can be made to the VIDEO
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs. In elaborate systems,
you may wish to use VIDEO 4 or VIDEO 5
for TV tuners, since these inputs do 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 se-
lected above.
Optional: Connect the digital output of the
TV tuner to any one of the OPTICAL IN or
COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSX-1067.
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.
Audio Recorder
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, con-
nect the digital output of the recorder to one
of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs
on the RSX-1067. Use the INPUT SETUP screen
to assign that digital input to the TAPE source.
If the recording device accepts a digital re-
cording 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.
VCR or Digital Video Recorder
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 ana-
log 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. If you choose S-Video or Com-
ponent Video connections, you should also
make a standard Composite Video connec-
tion so that the TV signals can be displayed
on the RSX-1067 front panel display.
Connect video cables (Composite 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, con-
nect the digital output of the recorder to one
of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs
on the RSX-1067. Use the INPUT SETUP screen
to assign that digital input to the VIDEO source
(VIDEO 1, 2, or 3) used for the previous con-
nections. 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
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 consis-
tency, i.e. connect the right front channel to the
R FRONT input, etc. Depending on your sys-
tem configuration, make six connections (FRONT
L & R, SURROUND L & R, CENTER, and SUB-
WOOFER), seven connections (adding a CEN-
TER 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 RSX-1067 provides
an optional bass redirect feature that dupli-
cates 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
IN-
PUT SETUP menu in the Setup section of this
manual for details on bass redirect feature.
TV Monitor
Connect the TV MONITOR output to the cor-
responding input on your television monitor,
using composite video, S-Video, and/or Com-
ponent 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 RSX-1067 upconverts
composite and S-Video signals to Component
Video signals.
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.
Speakers
The RSX-1067 has built-in amplifiers to power
up to seven speakers in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1
channel surround sound audio system: right/
left front speakers, center channel speaker,
right/left surround speakers, plus one or two
center rear speakers. There are seven pairs
of binding post connections (one pair for each
speaker) which accept bare wire, spade lugs,
or banana plug connectors (in some markets).
NOTE : Speakers should have an impedance
of 4 ohms or higher.
Each pair of connectors is color-coded for
polarity: red for positive and black for nega-
tive. All speakers and all speaker wire is also
marked for polarity. For proper performance,
you must maintain this polarity at all speaker
connections. Always connect the positive ter-
minal of each speaker to the corresponding
red speaker terminal on the RSX-1067 and the
negative speaker terminal to the correspond-
ing black connector on the RSX-1067.
