Connections: Overview
The RSX-1065 connections include standard
RCA audio inputs and outputs, composite video
inputs and outputs, S-Video inputs and outputs,
Component Video inputs, plus coaxial and op-
tical digital inputs and outputs.
The RSX-1065 has RCA preamp audio out-
puts for use with external amplifiers as well
as composite video, S-Video, and Component
Video outputs to connect your TV monitor.
The RSX-1065 also has MULTI input connec-
tions, a remote IR sensor input, and two 12V
trigger connections for remote turn-on of Ro-
tel amplifiers.
NOTE
: Do not plug any system component
into an AC source until all connections have
been properly made.
Video cables should have a 75 ohm imped-
ance rating. The S/PDIF digital audio inter-
face standard also specifies a 75 ohm imped-
ance and all good digital cables adhere to
this requirement. Because the video and
S/PDIF standards are so close, you can use
a video cable for digital audio data transmis-
sion. We strongly advise that you NOT sub-
stitute conventional audio interconnect cables
for digital or video signals. Standard audio
interconnects will pass these signals, but their
limited bandwidth reduce performance.
When making signal connections, connect LEFT
channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT chan-
nels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type
connections on the RSX-1065 follow these stan-
dard color codes:
Left channel audio: white RCA jack
Right channel audio: red RCA jack
Composite video: yellow RCA jack
NOTE
: Each source input must be properly
configured using the INPUT MENU of the
ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. We recom-
mend going to this menu after connecting
each source to configure it as desired. See
the INPUT MENU section for information.
Video Connections
The RSX-1065 provides S-Video and Compo-
nent Video connections for those who wish to
use them. However, standard Composite video
cables provide excellent picture quality in most
systems and their use for all input and output
connections will greatly simplify installation and
configuration of the unit.
If you chose to use S-Video or Component Video
connections, be aware of the following impli-
cations for the configuration of your system:
On Screen Menu Display: The RSX-1065
ON-SCREEN MENU system is available for
all inputs when using a Composite or S-Video
cable from the TV MONITOR outputs to the
TV set. The ON-SCREEN MENU is not avail-
able when using Component video cables.
System Set-Up: System setup should be done
while using a Composite video or S-Video cable
connecting the RSX-1065 TV MONITOR out-
puts to the video inputs of the TV or projec-
tor. Select OSD ( ON-SCREEN MENU) from
the RR-969 remote control to complete system
setup.
NOTE
:
On a PAL standard monitor, the OSD
cannot be displayed until a video signal is
present, irrespective of the type of video
cables in use. For setup, connect the video
output from your DVD player and select its
input on the RSX-1065. The OSD will be dis-
played as an overlay to the video signal from
the DVD player.
Composite and S-Video: With certain ex-
ceptions, a system should be connected with
either all Composite or all S-Video cables.
S-Video signals from sources cannot be sent
to a TV set from the RSX-1065 TV MONITOR
outputs with a Composite video cable. Con-
versely, Composite video signals from sources
cannot be sent to a TV set from the RSX-1065
TV MONITOR outputs with an S-Video cable.
Therefore, Composite and S-Video connections
cannot be “mixed” in a system.
However, both Composite and S-Video cables
may be connected from the RSX-1065 TV MONI-
TOR outputs to both Composite and S-Video in-
puts on a TV or projector. This dual connection
from the RSX-1065 will provide limited S-Video
capability in a system that is predominantly con-
nected with Composite video cables.
When both Composite and S-Video cables are
connected from the same source, only S-Video
will be available at the RSX-1065 S-Video TV
MONITOR outputs. However, the Composite
video REC Out will still be available. This dual
connection can be used to provide video taping
in a system that is predominantly connected
with S-Video cables, but also includes a VCR
with Composite video.
Audio Source Connections
Connect your audio-only source components
to these RCA inputs and outputs:
CD Inputs
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
your CD player to the input jacks labeled CD.
TAPE Inputs and Outputs
The RSX-1065 provides a pair of inputs and
a pair of record outputs for connecting an ana-
log audio tape deck.
The analog source signal available for record-
ing at the TAPE outputs is selected with the REC
button on the front-panel (or the ZONE but-
ton on the remote) and its label appears in
the display. If the TAPE input signal is selected
as the recording source, its signal will not be
available at the TAPE output, but will be avail-
able at the VIDEO outputs for recording.
Connect the left and right analog
outputs
from
an audio tape deck to the TAPE IN jacks.
Connect the TAPE OUT jacks to the
inputs
on
the audio tape deck.
