Note: For proper operation, all HDMI components and TVs connected
to the unit should be compatible with the HDMI Version 1.1 standard
or higher. The HDMI digital connections are usually compatible with
DVI components with an appropriate DVI-D cable adapter. For more
information, see the section HDMI:Frequently Asked Questions, in this
manual.
This Rotel processor provides upscaling and downscaling for the various
video formats. Composite Video or S-Video video signals can be upscaled
to 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p on HDTV Component or HDMI
monitors by choosing the appropriate output setting in the VIDEO/HDMI
menu.
Note: The 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.
Consider the following implications for your system configuration:
On Screen Display: The processor's OSD system is available on the TV
monitor or front panel TFT display or both,depending on your setting.
Output Conversion: The processor converts Composite, S-Video and
Component Video signals to HDMI for output to an HDMI compatible
TV. For maximum convenience, connect the processor to the TV monitor
with HDMI Video connections.
HDMI IN 1–4 Video Inputs
HDMI inputs provide various digital video connections for use with
components that have either HDMI outputs or DVI-D outputs (with an
appropriate DVI-HDMI adapter). HDMI connections carry video signals in
all formats including 3D signals up to 1080p/24Hz. The implementation
of HDMI supports audio signals, or a separate audio connection from
an HDMI component.
Four inputs, labeled HDMI VIDEO IN 1–4, accept signals from source
components.
Note: The TV monitor can display the OSD menus superimposed over
2D video source. With 3D video, the OSD menu will be available ONLY
on the front panel display.
COMPOSITE IN 1–3
[
Three inputs accept standard composite video signals from source
components using standard 75 ohm RCA video cables.
COMPOSITE OUT 1–2
]
Two RCA jacks, labeled COMPOSITE OUT 1–2, provide connections
for sending composite video signals for recording on a VCR or other
recording device.
These connections correspond to the COMPOSITE IN 1-2 connections.
Make sure that you are consistent. If you hook up a particular VCR to
the COMPOSITE 1 inputs, hook up the COMPOSITE 1 output to the
same VCR.

RSP-1580 SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR
Note: The unit cannot convert S-Video, Component Video or HDMI
signals to composite video signals at the record outputs. Therefore, only
signals received at the composite video inputs are available at these
outputs.
S-Video IN 1–3
[
Three inputs, labeled S-VIDEO IN 1–3 accept S-Video signals from
source components.
S-Video OUT 1–2
]
Two S-VIDEO jacks, labeled S-VIDEO OUT 1–2, provide connections
for sending S-Video signals for recording on a VCR or other recording
device.
These connections correspond to the S-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 output to the same VCR.
Note: The unit cannot convert composite video, Component Video, or
HDMI video signals to S-Video at these outputs. Only signals received
at the S-Video inputs are available at these outputs.
COMPONENT VIDEO 1–3
\
Component Video connections split the video into three signals – luminance
(Y) and separate chrominance (PB and PR) signals, allowing delivery of a
reference-quality picture with high definition signals. Component Video
connections should be used for progressive scan DVD players and high-
definition digital television receivers. Each of these signals is carried by
a separate 75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors.
Three sets of inputs, labeled COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1–3, accept
Component video signals from source components.
High Definition TV Monitor Outputs
The TV MONITOR outputs of the unit send the video signal to your TV
monitor. Four types of video output connections are provided – HDMI
digital video, Component Video, S-Video, or RCA composite video.
HDMI or Component Video outputs must be used for connections to an
HDTV in order to view high resolution HDTV video. In most cases, HDMI
or Component Video connections can be the only video connection to
the HDTV.
The HDMI outputs can send all enhanced or high definition video signals
to a high-definition TV 2D (480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and
3D (up to 1080p/24Hz). The Component Video outputs can also send
all of these signals except 1080p 24Hz and 3D signals. 480i/576i
standard definition resolution is not available at the Component Video or
HDMI outputs since the processor is designed to upconvert these signals
to a higher definition resolution.
The output resolution is specified in the VIDEO/HDMI setup menu. All
signals from all video sources (any resolution) are converted to the desired
resolution, except 3D and 1080p 24Hz signals.
Note: 3D and 1080p 24 Hz video signals will be passed through to
the HDMI output without scaling..
