Rotel RSP-1069 OVERVIEW OF CONNECTIONS

English

Other features

• Zone 2, 3, and 4 outputs with independent

input selection and volume adjustments

for multi-zone custom installations along

with IR-repeater capability for operation

from the remote zone.

• User friendly ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)

menu system with programmable labels

for all inputs. Choice of languages.

• Learning remote control to operate the

RSP-1069 and other components.

• Upgradable microprocessor software to

accommodate future upgrades.

• Assignable 12V trigger outputs for remote

turn-on of power ampliﬁ ers and other com-

ponents.

Unpacking

Remove the unit carefully from its packing.

Find the remote control and other acces-

sories. Save the box as it will protect the

RSP-1069 if you move or need to return it

for maintenance.

Placement

Place the RSP-1069 on a solid, level surface

away from sunlight, heat, moisture, or vibra-

tion. Make sure that the shelf can support the

weight of the unit.

Place the RSP-1069 close to the other compo-

nents in your system and, if possible, on its

own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and

subsequent system changes easier.

The RSP-1069 can generate heat during nor-

mal operation. Do not block ventilation open-

ings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches)

of unobstructed space around the unit. If in-

stalled in a cabinet, make sure that there is

adequate ventilation.

Don’t stack other components or objects on

top of the RSP-1069. Don’t let any liquid fall

into the unit.

OVERVIEW OF

CONNECTIONS

Although the RSP-1069’s rear panel looks

daunting, connecting the unit to your system

is straightforward. Each of the source com-

ponents in the system is connected to the

RSP-1069 inputs with a digital audio cable

(coax or optical) or an analog audio cable

(RCA). Video components are connected with

a digital HDMI cable or analog Component

Video, S-Video, or composite cables.

NOTE: Surround formats like Dolby Digital and

DTS are digital formats and the RSP-1069 can

only decode them when a digital input sig-

nal is available. For this reason, you should

always connect your DVD player’s digital

outputs to the RSP-1069, using either the op-

tical or coax inputs.

The RSP-1069’s audio output signals are sent to

power ampliﬁ er(s) with standard RCA cables

from preamp audio outputs. The video signal

from the RSP-1069 is sent to the TV monitor

using an HDMI digital cable or Component

Video, S-Video, or composite video analog

connections.

In addition, the RSP-1069 has MULTI input con-

nections for a source component that does its

own surround decoding, remote IR sensor in-

puts, and 12V trigger connections for remote

turn-on of other Rotel components.

NOTE: Do not plug any system component

into an AC source until all connections have

been properly made.

Each source input must be properly conﬁ g-

ured using the INPUT SETUP menu of the OSD

menu system. We recommend going to this

menu after connecting each source to con-

ﬁ gure it as desired. See INPUT SETUP of the

Setup section for information.

Cable Selection

Video connections to the RSP-1069 can be

made with digital or analog video cables:

Digital Video

The digital video connections to the RSP-1069

are made using HDMI cables. These multi-pin

connectors are capable of carrying broad-

band digital video signals plus digital audio

signals such as Dolby Digital 5.1®. Compat-

ible with DVI components when used with

HDMI-DVI adapter.

Digital Audio

The digital audio connections to the RSP-1069

are made using either Toslink optical cable

or coax RCA digital cables. Do not substi-

tute audio RCA cables for a proper coax

digital cable.

Analog Video

Analog video components can be connected

to the RSP-1069 with a choice of three types

of analog video connections: composite video

or S-Video for standard deﬁ nition TVs and

source components or Component Video for

high-deﬁ nition TVs and components.

Video cables should have a 75 ohm imped-

ance. Do NOT substitute conventional audio

interconnect cables for digital or video sig-

nals. Standard audio interconnects will pass

these signals, but their limited bandwidth re-

duce performance.

Analog Audio

Analog audio components are connected to

the RSP-1069 standard RCA audio cables.

Use the following color code for analog vid-

eo and audio connections.

Left channel audio: white RCA jack

Right channel audio: red RCA jack

Composite video: yellow RCA jack
