VIDEO 1–3 Audio Outputs
Using standard audio interconnect cables,
connect the left and right channel RCA audio
outputs
from the RSX-1065 to the audio
inputs
on the source component. Make sure that you
are consistent. If you hook up a VCR to the
VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1 out-
puts to the same VCR. Also make sure that the
left channel is connected to the LEFT connec-
tors and the right channel to the RIGHT con-
nectors.
VIDEO 1–3
Composite Video Outputs
If you choose to use the RCA composite video
connections for a source component, use a
75 ohm video interconnect cable to connect
the RSX-1065’s RCA video
output
(labeled
COMPOSITE OUT) to the RCA video
input
on
your VCR.
VIDEO 1–3 S-Video Outputs
If you choose to use S-Video connections for
a source component, use an S-Video cable
to connect the RSX-1065’s S-Video
output
(la-
beled S-VIDEO OUT) to the S-Video
input
on
your source component.
Digital Source Connections
The RSX-1065 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 a digital output for recording.
These digital connections can be used with
any source component that supplies a digital
signal, such as a DVD player or CD player.
NOTE
: A digital connection means that the
D/A converters in the RSX-1065 will be used
to decode the digital signal, rather than the
source component’s internal D/A converters.
In general, you would use digital connections
for a DVD player or other component that
supplies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. How-
ever, if you are connecting a high-end Rotel
CD player with sophisticated internal D/A
converters, you might prefer to use analog
audio connections to the RSX-1065.
Digital Inputs
The RSX-1065 accepts digital input signals from
source components such as CD players, sat-
ellite TV receivers, and 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital, DTS, or 6.1 channel DTS ES signals
from DVD players. The built-in D/A converter
senses and adjusts to 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 MENU screen de-
scribed later in this manual. For example, you
can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital input con-
nector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTI-
CAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.
Connect the appropriate cable (optical or 75
ohm coaxial) from the digital
output
of your
source component to a digital
input
on the
RSX-1065 and then configure that digital in-
put for use with the source component using
the INPUT MENU.
NOTE
: When using digital connections, you
should also make the analog audio input con-
nections described previously. The analog
connection is necessary to record to an ana-
log recorder or for ZONE 2 operation
Digital Outputs
The RSX-1065 has a digital output (with a
choice of coaxial or optical connectors) to send
the digital signal from any of the five digital
inputs to a digital recorder or outboard digi-
tal processor. When a digital input source signal
is selected for listening, that signal is automati-
cally sent to both digital outputs for record-
ing or outboard processing.
NOTE
: Only digital signals from source com-
ponents are available at these outputs. Ana-
log signals cannot be converted and are not
available at the digital outputs.
Connect the digital
output
to the digital
input
of your recorder or processor. You can use
either a 75 ohm coaxial video cable or an
optical cable.
Output Signal Connections
This section of the manual describes the au-
dio and video signal output connections on
the RSX-1065. These are used for routing the
output signals to television monitors, audio am-
plifiers, and recording devices.
TV Monitor Output
The video output of the RSX-1065 sends the
video signal to your TV monitor. Three types
of video output connections are provided –
RCA composite video, S-Video, and Compo-
nent Video. Choose the type of video output
connection that matches the type of video input
connections you have made. Connect the TV
MONITOR
output
, from either RCA compos-
ite or S-Video or Component Video connec-
tor, to the corresponding
input
on your televi-
sion monitor, using appropriate video cables.
NOTE
: The RCA composite video output only
sends signals from RCA composite video
source inputs to the TV monitor. The S-Video
output only sends signals from S-Video video
source inputs to the TV. The Component Video
output only sends signals from Component
Video source inputs to the TV. The ON-
SCREEN DISPLAY system is not available
when using Component Video connections.
Speaker Outputs
The RSX-1065 has five built-in amplifiers, two
for the front (right and left), one for the center
channel, and two for the rear surround speakers
(right and left). There are five pairs of bind-
ing post connections (one pair for each speaker)
which accept bare wire, spade lugs, or ba-
nana plug connectors (in some markets).
Each pair of connectors is color-coded for
polarity: red/blue/green for positive and black
for negative. All speakers and all speaker wire
is also marked for polarity. For proper perfor-
mance, you must maintain this polarity at all
speaker connections. Always connect the
positive terminal of each speaker to the cor-
responding colored (red/blue/green) speaker
terminal on the RSX-1065 and the negative
speaker terminal to the corresponding black
connector on the RSX-1065.
Each pair of connectors is labeled as LEFT
FRONT, LEFT SURROUND, RIGHT FRONT,
RIGHT SURROUND, or CENTER. You must con-
nect each of the five speakers to the proper
terminal on the RSX-1065.
