Analog Connections: To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player (or any
external surround decoder) with analog connections, 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 FRONT R input, etc.
Depending on your system configuration, make six connections
(FRONT L & R, SURROUND 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 processor 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.
HDMI digital connection: If the DVD-A player has HDMI outputs,
simply connect an HDMI cable to the output of the player to one of the
HDMI 1–4 inputs on the processor. This cable sends the video signal from
the player along with a digital audio signal. The DVD-A multichannel
decoding is handled by the processor.

See Figure 4
A key feature of this Rotel processor is that it can send a video signal
to any HDTV monitor in exactly the format that best matches the native
mode and resolution of the TV.
Digital HDTVs, such as LCD and plasma flat-screens, display digital
signals directly. These TVs should be connected to the processor using the
HDMI digital outputs.
Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projection sets, display analog
signals. Although these can be connected with an HDMI cable, these TVs
should generally be connected with analog Component Video cables to
avoid an unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion in the TV.
Note: Do not connect HDMI and Component Video outputs to a
monitor simultaneously, as the two video image signals may affect
each other.
HDMI digital connection: Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the
VIDEO OUT HDMI connector on the back of the processor. Connect the
other end of the cable to the HDMI input connector on the back of the
HDTV.
You can usually connect the HDMI output of the processor to a monitor
with DVI-D inputs by using an appropriate HDMI-DVI adapter.
Note: In order for HDMI signals to be displayed properly, the TV
monitor must be compatible with HDCP copy protection.
Component Video Analog connection: A set of three Component
Video cables with RCA plugs is required to make Component Video
Connections between the processor and the HDTV monitor:

1. Connect one cable from the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
connector labeled Y on the processor to the Y input on the TV.
2. Connect a second cable from the connector labeled P
processor to the P input on the TV.

Note: HDTV Component Video output is subject to HDCP copy
protection. It may not display 720p or 1080i resolution when the
source signal incorporates copy protection. However, when Video
Out is set to 480p/576p in the VIDEO/HDMI menu, all sources
will be available.

See Figure 4
The RSP-1570 can output standard definition video signals (either
Composite Video or S-Video) when the input video source is a standard
resolution (480i or 576i) video signal. When connecting a standard
definition TV, the best picture quality will be achieved using S-Video
cables. If the standard definition TV does not have S-Video connectors,
use a Composite Video connection.
S-Video Analog connection: Connect an S-Video cable to the
S-Video MON OUT output on the back of the processor. Connect the
other end of the cable to the S-Video input on the TV.
Composite Video Analog connection: Connect an RCA video cable
to the COMPOSITE MON OUT output on the back of the processor.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Composite Video input on the
TV.
Note: There are also Composite Video and S-Video outputs for
Zones 2, 3 and 4. See the section Remote Zone Connection for
details.

See Figure 3
The RSP-1570 has preamp outputs for connections to power amplifiers
to drive up to eight speakers in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel surround
sound audio system: right/left front channels, 2 center channels, right/left
surround channels, and two center back channels. In addition, there are
two subwoofer outputs.
To hook up amplifiers, connect an audio cable from each PREOUT jack
to the input of the amplifier channel that will power the corresponding
speaker. For example, connect the FRONT L output to the amplifier
channel driving the front left speaker. In a full home theater system, you
will make up to seven different connections in addition to the subwoofer.
These connections for a 5.1channel system are labeled FRONT L and
FRONT R, CENTER, and REAR L and REAR 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.
Make sure that you have each output connected to the correct amplifier
channel:
