See Figure 4.

The RSP-1066 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 or CD player.

NOTE: A digital connection means that the digi- tal processors in the RSP-1066 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 supplies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, otherwise the RSP-1066 will not be able to decode these formats.

The RSP-1066 has a digital output (with a choice of coaxial or optical connectors) to send the digital signal from any of the five digital in- puts to a digital recorder or outboard digital processor. When a digital input source sig- nal is selected for listening, that signal is au- tomatically sent to both digital outputs for re- cording or outboard processing.

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.

Connect the digital output to the digital input of your recorder or processor. You can use either a 75 ohm coaxial video cable or an optical cable.

NOTE: The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system is not available when using Component Video con- nections to the TV monitor

Preamp Outputs

There are ten RCA preamp audio outputs: FRONT (LEFT/ RIGHT), CENTER (1/2), SUR-

ROUND REAR (LEFT/RIGHT), CENTER BACK (CB1/CB2), and SUBWOOFER (1/2). Use these outputs to send the RSP-1066’s output signals to powered speakers or external am- plifiers.

NOTE: Depending on your system configura- tion, you may use some or all of these con- nections. For example, if you only have one center channel, you would connect it to the CTR 1 output. If you only have one center back channel, you would connect it to the CB1 output.

Digital Inputs

The RSP-1066 accepts digital input signals from source components such as CD players, sat- ellite TV receivers, and 5.1 channel Dolby Digital, DTS, or 6.1 channel DTS ES signals from DVD players. The built-in D/A converter senses and adjusts to the correct sampling 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 MENU screen de- scribed later in this manual. For example, you can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital input con- nector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTI- CAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.

Connect the appropriate cable (optical or 75 ohm coaxial) from the digital output of your source component to a digital input on the RSP-1066 and then configure that digital in- put for use with the source component using the INPUT MENU.

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 or for ZONE 2 operation

This section of the manual describes the au- dio and video signal output connections on the RSP-1066. These are used for routing the output signals to television monitors, audio am- plifiers, and recording devices.

TV Monitor Output

The video output of the RSP-1066 sends the video signal to your TV monitor. Three types of video output connections are provided – RCA composite video, S-Video, and Compo- nent Video. Choose the type of video output connection that matches the type of video input connections you have made. Connect the TV MONITOR output, from either RCA compos- ite or S-Video or Component Video connec- tor, to the corresponding input on your televi- sion monitor, using appropriate video 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 video source inputs to the TV. The Component Video output only sends signals from Component Video source inputs 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 RSP-1066 to the TV monitor. However, in a mixed system with, for example, some S-Video and some RCA composite inputs, you will

To hook up a powered subwoofer,

connect a standard RCA audio cable from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack to the input on the subwoofer’s power amp.

To hook up the RCA main audio out-

puts, connect an audio cable from each output to the input of the amplifier channel that will power the corresponding speaker. In a full home theater system, you will need to make six dif- ferent connections corresponding to the six speakers (left front, center front, right front, left surround, right surround, and subwoofer).

Make sure that you have each output connected to the correct amplifier channel (front right, left rear, etc.).

Power and Miscellaneous Connections

AC Input

Your RSP-1066 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.
