RSP-1068 Surround Sound Processor
: The RSP-1068 cannot convert S-Video
NOTE
or Component Video signals to composite
video. Therefore, only signals received at the
composite video inputs are available at these
outputs.
VIDEO 1–5 S-Video Inputs
Five inputs, labeled S-VIDEO IN 1–5 accept
S-Video signals from source components.
VIDEO 1–3 S-Video Outputs
Three S-VIDEO jacks, labeled S-VIDEO OUT
1–3, provide connections for sending S-Video
signals for recording on a VCR or other re-
cording 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.
: The RSP-1068 cannot convert compos-
NOTE
ite video or Component Video signals to
S-Video. Only signals received at the S-Video
inputs are available at these outputs.
VIDEO 1–3
Component Video Inputs
Component Video connections split the video
into three signals – luminance (Y) and sepa-
rate chrominance (P and P ) signals, allow-
B R
ing delivery of a reference-quality picture with
high definition signals. Component Video con-
nections should be used for progressive scan
DVD players and high-definition digital tele-
vision receivers. Each of these signals is car-
ried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with
RCA connectors.
Three sets of inputs, labeled COMPONENT
VIDEO IN 1–3 accept Component video sig-
nals from source components.
: When using a progressive scan or
NOTE
1080i HDTV video signal from the Compo-
nent 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 pro-
gressive or HDTV signals. When the main
OSD setup menus are displayed, the progres-
sive video signal is interrupted and restored
when the OSD menus are cancelled. The tem-
porary OSD information displays (such as vol-
ume setting, etc.) are not displayed.

TV Monitor Outputs

The TV MONITOR outputs of the RSP-1068
send the video signal to your TV monitor. Three
types of video output connections are provided
– RCA composite video, S-Video, and Com-
ponent Video.
The composite video output only sends signals
from composite video inputs to the TV moni-
tor. The S-Video output only sends signals from
S-Video video inputs to the TV. The Compo-
nent Video output converts signals from ANY
type of source input to the TV. If you have
connected all of your source components with
the same type of connection, then you only
need to make one connection from the
RSP-1068 to the TV monitor. If you connect
the RSP-1068 to the TV monitor with Compo-
nent Video connections, you also only need
to make one type of connection because com-
posite and S-Video signals are converted to
Component Video.
: When a video input or inputs are se-
NOTE
lected for progressive mode on the Other
Options menu, the conversion from compos-
ite 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.

ZONE OUT Video Output

The ZONE OUT Video output of the RSP-1068
sends a composite video signal to a TV moni-
tor in Zone 2.
: Only composite video input signals are
NOTE
available at the Zone 2 composite video out-
put.
Digital Audio
Input & Outputs
The RSP-1068 provides digital connections
which may be used in place of, or in addi-
tion to, the analog audio input and output con-
nections described in the previous sections.
These connections include five digital inputs
and two digital outputs (for recording).
These digital connections can be used with
any source component that supplies a digital
signal, such as a DVD player, CD player, or
satellite TV tuner.
18
: With a digital connection, the RSP-1068
NOTE
will be used to decode the signal, rather than
the source component's internal decoders.
You must use digital connections for a DVD
player that supplies a Dolby Digital or DTS
signal; otherwise the RSP-1068 will not be
able to decode these formats.

Digital Inputs

The RSP-1068 accepts digital inputs from source
components such as CD players, satellite TV
tuners, and DVD players. The built-in digital
processor senses the correct sampling rates.
There are five digital inputs on the rear panel,
three coaxial and two optical. These digital
inputs can be assigned to any of the input
sources using the INPUT SETUP screen during
the setup process. For example, you can as-
sign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector
to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2
digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.
: When using digital connections, you
NOTE
should also make the analog audio input con-
nections described previously. The analog
connection is necessary to record to an ana-
log recorder in some circumstances or for
ZONE 2 operation

Digital Outputs

The RSP-1068 has two digital outputs (one
coaxial and one optical) to send the digital
signal from any of the digital inputs to a digi-
tal recorder or outboard digital processor.
When a digital input source signal is selected
for listening, that signal is automatically sent
to both digital outputs for recording.
: Only digital signals from source com-
NOTE
ponents are available at these outputs. Ana-
log signals cannot be converted and are not
available at the digital outputs.

Other Connections

AC Input

Your RSP-1068 is configured at the factory for
the proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC ). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back
of your unit.
