RSX-1067 Surround Sound Receiver
VIDEO 1–3
Component Video Inputs
Component Video connections split the video
into three signals – luminance (Y) and sepa-
rate chrominance (P
B and PR) signals, allow-
ing delivery of a reference-quality picture with
high definition signals. Component Video con-
nections should be used for progressive scan
DVD players and high-definition digital tele-
vision receivers. Each of these signals is car-
ried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with
RCA connectors.
Three sets of inputs, labeled COMPONENT
VIDEO IN 1–3 accept Component video sig-
nals from source components.
NOTE
: When using a progressive scan or
1080i HDTV video signal from the Compo-
nent Video inputs, the TV monitor cannot dis-
play the video signal and the OSD menus at
the same time. A “progressive” setting in the
Other Options setup menu allows the use of
the main OSD setup menus, even with pro-
gressive or HDTV signals. When the main
OSD setup menus are displayed, the progres-
sive video signal is interrupted and restored
when the OSD menus are cancelled. The tem-
porary OSD information displays (such as vol-
ume setting, etc.) are not displayed.
TV Monitor Outputs
The TV MONITOR outputs of the RSX-1067
send the video signal to your TV monitor. Three
types of video output connections are provided
– RCA composite video, S-Video, and Com-
ponent Video.
The composite video output only sends signals
from composite video inputs to the TV moni-
tor. The S-Video output only sends signals from
S-Video video inputs to the TV. The Compo-
nent Video output converts signals from ANY
type of source input to the TV. If you have
connected all of your source components with
the same type of connection, then you only
need to make one connection from the
RSX-1067 to the TV monitor. If you connect
the RSX-1067 to the TV monitor with Compo-
nent Video connections, you also only need
to make one type of connection because com-
posite and S-Video signals are converted to
Component Video.
NOTE
: When a video input or inputs are se-
lected for progressive mode on the Other
Options menu, the conversion from compos-
ite or S-Video to Component Video output is
not available for those inputs. The conversion
from composite or S-VIDEO to Component
Video output is only available for the other
video inputs.
ZONE OUT Video Output
The ZONE OUT Video output of the RSX-1067
sends a composite video signal to a TV moni-
tor in Zone 2.
NOTE
: Only composite video input signals are
available at the Zone 2 composite video out-
put.
Digital Audio
Input & Outputs
The RSX-1067 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 two digital outputs (for recording).
These digital connections can be used with
any source component that supplies a digital
signal, such as a DVD player, CD player, or
satellite TV tuner.
NOTE
: With a digital connection, the RSX-1067
will be used to decode the signal, rather than
the source component’s internal decoders. In
general, you must use digital connections for
a DVD player or other component that sup-
plies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal; other-
wise the RSX-1067 will not be able to decode
these formats.
Digital Inputs
The RSX-1067 accepts digital inputs from source
components such as CD players, satellite TV
tuners, and DVD players. The built-in digital
processor senses and adjusts to the correct sam-
pling 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 SETUP screen during
the setup process. For example, you can as-
sign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector
to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2
digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.
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 in some circumstances or for
ZONE 2 operation
Digital Outputs
The RSX-1067 has two digital outputs (one
coaxial and one optical) to send the digital
signal from any of the digital inputs to a digi-
tal 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.
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.
Other Connections
AC Input
Your RSX-1067 is configured at the factory for
the proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back
of your unit.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit.
NOTE
: Memorized settings and video labels
are preserved indefinitely, even if the
RSX-1067 is disconnected from AC power.
Master Power Switch
The large rocker switch on the rear panel is a
master power switch. When it is in the OFF
position, power to the unit is completely off.
When it is in the ON position, the front panel
STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF but-
tons can be used to activate the unit or put it
into standby mode.
NOTE
: After all connections are completed,
the rear panel master power switch should
be put in the ON position and usually left in
that position.
