• TV monitors with DVI-D connections can usually be connected to
the HDMI output of the processor with the use of an appropriate
24-pin DVI-HDMI adaptor. However, there are occasionally some
incompatibilities with older DVI-D equipped monitors.
• Use the scaler setting of the RSP-1570's 'VIDEO OUT FORMAT' in the
VIDEO/HDMI menu to match the native resolution of the TV monitor.
Standard Definition TV Monitor Outputs
The S-Video or Composite Video TV MONITOR outputs of the processor
send the video signal to a standard definition TV monitor.
These video outputs can only send a 480i/576i standard definition
video signal to a TV. They can only output video signals from a standard
definition 480i/576i component. Signals from progressive scan DVD
players or other high definition sources cannot be downconverted to
standard definition for S-Video or Composite Video.
In most cases, S-Video outputs will provide better picture quality than
Composite Video.
Note: Component Video 480i/576i inputs can be passed to
S-Video and Composite Video outputs.
ZONE 2–4 VIDEO Outputs
a
The ZONE VIDEO outputs of the processor send a Composite or S-Video
signal to a TV monitor in Zone 2, Zone 3, or Zone 4.
Note: Only Composite input signals are available at the ZONE
VIDEO outputs.
Audio Inputs & Outputs
This Rotel processor provides both analog and digital audio connections.
Digital Inputs
w
The RSP-1570 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.
Note: With a digital input connection, the processor 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 processor
will not be able to decode these formats.
There are seven digital inputs on the rear panel, three coaxial and four
optical, as well as the HDMI Audio input that is carried by the HDMI
cables along with the digital video signals. 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 assign the COAXIAL 1
digital input connector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital
input to the VIDEO 3 source. By default, the source input buttons are
factory configured to select the following inputs:
Digital Coaxial 2
CD:
Analog
Tuner:
Digital Coaxial 3
Tape:
HDMI Audio (HDMI 1)
Video 1:
HDMI Audio (HDMI 2)

Note: When using digital connections, you may also want to
make the analog audio input connections described previously.
The analog connection is necessary to record to an analog
recorder in some circumstances or for ZONE 2–4 operation.
Digital Outputs
r
The RSP-1570 has two digital outputs (one coaxial and one optical) to
send the digital signal from any of the digital inputs to a digital 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.
Tuner Inputs
[
A left/right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting an AM/FM
tuner.
CD Inputs
f
A left/right pair of RCA analog audio inputs for connecting a CD player.
TAPE Inputs
h
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled TAPE IN, for connecting the left/right
analog audio signals from an audio tape deck or recording device.
TAPE Outputs
h
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled TAPE OUT, for sending left/right line level
analog audio signals for recording on a tape deck or recording device.
Note: These outputs should be connected to the inputs of the
same tape deck connected to the TAPE IN inputs.
VIDEO 1–5 Audio Inputs
q
Five pairs of RCA inputs (VIDEO IN 1–5) provide 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 1–2 Audio Outputs
e
Two pairs of RCA jacks (VIDEO OUT 1–2) provide connections for
sending line level left and right analog audio signals for recording to a
VCR.
These connections correspond to the VIDEO IN 1–2 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 3, 4, & 5.
Therefore, in an elaborate system, hook up all of the VCRs and
recording devices to VIDEO 1–2 and use VIDEO 3, 4 & 5 for
playback only components.
Note: Video 1–2 can be used for audio-only tape decks, simply
omitting the corresponding video connections.
