When making signal connections, connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT chan- nels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on the RSP-1066 follow these stan- dard color codes:
Left channel audio: white RCA jack
Right channel audio: red RCA jack
Composite video: yellow RCA jack
NOTE: Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT MENU of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. We recom- mend going to this menu after connecting each source to configure it as desired. See the INPUT MENU topic of the On-Screen Dis- play/Configuration section for information.
Video Connections
The RSP-1066 provides S-Video and Compo- nent Video connections for those who wish to use them. However, standard Composite video cables provide excellent picture quality in most systems and their use for all input and output connections will simplify installation and con- figuration of the unit.
If you choose to use S-Video or Component Video connections, be aware of the follow- ing implications for the configuration of your system:
On Screen Menu Display: The RSP-1066ON-SCREEN MENU system is available for all inputs when using a Composite or S-Video cable from the TV MONITOR outputs to the TV set. The ON-SCREEN MENU is not avail- able when using Component video cables.
System Set-Up:System setup should be done while using a Composite video or S-Video cable connecting the RSP-1066 TV MONITOR out- puts to the video inputs of the TV or projec- tor. Select OSD ( ON-SCREEN MENU) from the RR-969 remote control to complete system setup.
NOTE: On a PAL standard monitor, the OSD cannot be displayed until a video signal is present, irrespective of the type of video cables in use. For setup, connect the video output from your DVD player and select its input on the RSP-1066. The OSD will be dis- played as an overlay to the video signal from the DVD player.
Composite and S-Video: With certain ex- ceptions, a system should be connected with either all Composite or all S-Video cables. S-Video signals from sources cannot be sent to a TV set from the RSP-1066 TV MONITOR outputs with a Composite video cable. Con- versely, Composite video signals from sources cannot be sent to a TV set from the RSP-1066 TV MONITOR outputs with an S-Video cable. Therefore, Composite and S-Video connections cannot be “mixed” in a system.
However, both Composite and S-Video cables may be connected from the RSP-1066 TV MONI- TOR outputs to both Composite and S-Video in- puts on a TV or projector. This dual connection from the RSP-1066 will provide limited S-Video capability in a system that is predominantly con- nected with Composite video cables.
When both Composite and S-Video cables are connected from the same source, both Com- posite and S-Video signals are available at the RSP-1066’s TV MONITOR outputs, allowing the selection of the desired signal with the TV input selector. The Composite video signal is available at the REC Out for recording. This dual connection can be used to provide video taping in a system that is predominantly con- nected with S-Video cables, but also includes a VCR with Composite video.
Component Video: Component Video connections can significantly improve the pic- ture quality when using a digital “high-defini- tion” television monitor and a DVD player’s progressive scanning feature. They provide little benefit with standard analog TV monitors. Their use will almost certainly require running mul- tiple outputs to the TV and switching between the TV’s various inputs when changing sources.
Audio Source Connections
See Figure 4.
Connect your audio-only source components to these RCA inputs and outputs:
CD Inputs 
Connect the left and right analog outputs from your CD player to the input jacks labeled CD.
TUNER Inputs 
Connect the left and right analog outputs from your tuner to the input jacks labeled TUNER.
TAPE Inputs and Outputs 
The RSP-1066 provides a pair of inputs and a pair of record outputs for connecting an ana- log audio tape deck.
The analog source signal available for record- ing at the TAPE outputs is selected with the REC button on the front-panel (or the ZONE but- ton on the remote) and its label appears in the display. If the TAPE input signal is selected as the recording source, its signal will not be available at the TAPE output, but will be avail- able at the VIDEO outputs for recording.
Connect the left and right analog outputs from an audio tape deck to the TAPE IN jacks. Connect the TAPE OUT jacks to the inputs on the audio tape deck.
Video Source Inputs
See Figure 4.
There are input connections for five video source components. Each of the five provides a pair of RCA inputs for analog audio signals. Each of the five also provides a choice of an RCA composite video input or S-Video input for the video signal from the source component. In addition, two of the video source inputs (Video 1 and Video 2) also feature Component Video input connections as an alternative to the com- posite video or S-Video connections.
NOTE: There is no need to use more than one type of video connection from a source com- ponent. We recommend selecting one type of video connection and using it for all video inputs and outputs. As a general rule, using RCA composite video connections will sim- plify system setup and operation.
