VIDEO 1–3

Component Video Inputs

Component Video connections split the video into three signals – luminance (Y) and sepa- rate chrominance (PB 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.
