RSX-1057Surround Sound Receiver

To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RSX-1057’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.

REM IN Jacks

Two 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled ZONE and EXT) receive command codes from an in- dustry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.), used when the IR signals from a hand held remote control cannot reach the front panel IR sensor.

EXT: The EXT jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the front panel IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked or when IR signals need to be relayed to other components.

ZONE: The ZONE jack is used with IR repeater systems to receiver signals from IR control sys- tems in remote location. For example, remote control signals sent to the ZONE REM IN con- trol the ZONE 2 features of the RSX-1057 and can be relayed to other components.

Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers and the proper wiring of a 3.5 mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN jacks.

NOTE: The IR signals from the EXT REMOTE IN and ZONE REMOTE IN jacks can be re- layed to source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional information.

Computer I/O

The RSX-1057 can be operated from a com- puter with audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending operating codes from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial connection. In addition, the RSX-1057 can be updated using special software from Rotel.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec- essary network connections on the rear pan- el. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10- BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.

For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for computer control or updating of the RSX-1057, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Making Connections

CD Player

See Figure 10

Connect the left and right analog outputs from the CD player to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled CD (left and right).

Optional: Connect the digital output of the CD player to any of the Optical or Coax dig- ital inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital input to the CD source.

There are no video connections for a CD Player.

NOTE: If you plan to distribute video from the DVD player to a TV monitor in Zone 2, you must make a Composite Video connection.

High Definition TVs:

If you intend to use the progressive scan feature with an HDTV monitor, you should use Component Video and/or HDMI video connections from the DVD player. If the DVD player has a DVI-D output, this can usually be connected to the HDMI input on the RSX-1057 using a DVI-HDMI adapter.

Connect set of Component Video cables or an HDMI cable from the DVD player to the appropriate VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 input on the RSX-1057.

Digital Audio connections:

Connect the digital output of the DVD player 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 DVD player 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.

See Figure 8

IR OUT Jacks

The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals re- ceived at the ZONE REM IN or the EXT REM IN jacks to an infrared blaster or emitter placed in front of a source component’s IR sensor. In addition, the IR OUT can be hard- wired to Rotel CD players, DVD players, or tuners with a compatible connector.

These outputs are used to allow IR signals from Zone 2 to be sent to the source com- ponents, or to pass along IR signals from a remote in the main room when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet.

See your authorized Rotel dealer for informa- tion on IR emitters and repeater systems.

DVD Player

See Figure 6

Standard Definition TVs:

In a system with a standard definition TV, DVD connections can be made to the VID- EO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs. You may wish to use VIDEO 4 or VIDEO 5 for DVD players, since these inputs do not have corresponding OUTPUT connections. If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all analog audio and video connections.

Connect a video cable (Composite Video or S-Video) from the output of the DVD player to the appropriate VIDEO IN 1–5 input.

Standard Definition TVs:

In a system with a standard definition TV, cable or satellite tuner connections can be made to the VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs. You may wish to use VIDEO 4 or VIDEO 5, since these inputs do not have corresponding OUTPUT connections. If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all analog audio and video connections.

Connect a video cable (Composite Video or S-Video) from the output of the DVD player to the appropriate VIDEO IN 1–5 input.

NOTE: If you plan to distribute video from the tuner to a TV monitor in Zone 2, you must make a Composite Video connection.
