High Definition TVs:
With a high-definition cable or satellite tuner
and an HDTV monitor, you should use Com
-
ponent Video and/or HDMI video connec
-
tions from the tuner. If the tuner has a DVI-D
output, this can usually be connected to the
HDMI input on the RSX-1057 using a DVI-
HDMI adapter.
Connect a set of Component Video cables
or an HDMI cable from the tuner to the ap-
propriate VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 input on the
RSX-1057.
Digital Audio connections:
Connect the digital output of the tuner to any
one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital
inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SETUP
screen to assign that digital input to the same
video input source used above. For example,
if you use the Video 4 inputs above, assign
the digital input to the VIDEO 4 input.
Analog audio connections:
If you want to record the audio signal from the
tuner to a VCR or distribute the audio signal
to Zone 2, connect the left and right analog
outputs from the DVD player to the left and
right AUDIO IN jacks corresponding to the
VIDEO IN input selected above.
Audio Recorder
See Figure 11
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
an audio tape deck to the AUDIO IN jacks
labeled TAPE IN (left and right).
Connect the left/right AUDIO OUT/TAPE OUT
jacks to the inputs on the audio tape deck.
Optional: For a digital recording device,
connect the digital output of the recorder to
one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital
inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SET
-
UP screen to assign that digital input to the
TAPE source. If the recording device accepts
a digital recording input, connect one of the
OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections
to the digital input of the recorder.
No video connections are required for an
audio recording device.
VCR or Digital Video Recorder
See Figure 9
VCR connections can be made to the VIDEO
1, VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3 inputs and outputs.
If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you
use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all ana
-
log audio and video connections.
Connect video cables (Composite Video,
S-Video, and/or Component Video) from the
output of the VCR to the appropriate VIDEO
IN 1–3 input.
Connect video cables (Composite Video
and/or Component Video) from the VIDEO
OUT jacks to the VCR inputs.
Connect the left and right analog outputs
from the VCR to one pair of the AUDIO IN
jacks labeled VIDEO 1–3.
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT
jacks for VIDEO 1–3 to the analog inputs
on the VCR.
Optional: For a digital recording device,
you can use digital audio connections. Con
-
nect the digital output of the recorder to one
of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital
inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SET
-
UP screen to assign that digital input to the
VIDEO source (VIDEO 1, 2, or 3) used for
the previous connections. If the recording
device accepts a digital recording input,
connect one of the OPTICAL OUT or CO
-
AXIAL OUT connections to the digital input
of the recorder.
DVD-A or SACD Player
See Figure 7
To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player, or any
external surround decoder, 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 consis
-
tency, i.e. connect the right front channel to
the R FRONT input, etc. Depending on your
system configuration, make six connections
(FRONT L & R, SURROUND L & R, CENTER,
and SUBWOOFER), seven connections (add
-
ing 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 Vol
-
ume Control and preamp outputs, bypassing
all of the digital processing. The RSX-1057
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 sub
-
woofer output derived from the main chan
-
nels. See the INPUT SETUP menu in the Set
-
up section of this manual for details on bass
redirect feature.
TV Monitor
See Figure 5
Connect the TV MONITOR output to the cor
-
responding input on your television monitor,
using Composite video, S-Video, Component
Video, and/or HDMI 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 source
inputs to the TV. The HDMI output only sends
signals from HMDI source inputs to the TV
and cannot display the On Screen Menus.
The RSX-1057 upconverts Composite and
S-Video signals to Component Video.
When configuring the unit, you must specify
either an NTSC or a PAL standard TV moni
-
tor. See the Other Options menu in the Setup
section of this manual.
For HDTV monitors:
To send progressive scanned or high-defi
-
nition signals to the TV, you must connect it
with either a set of three Component Video
cables or an HDMI digital cable. Either can
provide excellent results, but in general using
the HDMI cable is preferable for a monitor
that displays digital signals (LCD, plasma,
DLP, etc.). Component Video cables would
be preferable for CRT-based direct view or
rear projection monitors that display ana
-
log signals.
If you use the HDMI connection, the moni
-
tor will display video at whatever resolution
is sent from the source component. Set the
resolution of the source component to match
the TV’s native resolution.
