Rotel RSP-1069 Other Connections

English

MULTI Inputs

A set of RCA inputs accept up to 7.1 chan-

nels of analog signals from a DVD-A or

SACD player. There are inputs for FRONT L

& R, CENTER, SUB, REAR L & R, and CEN-

TER BACK 1 & 2.

These inputs bypass all digital processing in

the RSP-1069 and are routed directly to the

Volume control and preamp outputs.

There are two subwoofer options for the MULTI

input. Normally, the .1 channel input is passed

through directly to the subwoofer output. An

optional bass redirect feature duplicates the

7 main channels, sums them, and sends this

mono signal through a 100 Hz analog low

ﬁ lter to the subwoofer output. This provides

an unaltered analog bypass for the seven

main channels along with a subwoofer sig-

nal derived from those channels.

Preamp Outputs

A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs

sends the RSP-1069’s line level output signals to

external ampliﬁ ers and powered subwoofers.

These outputs are variable level, adjusted by

the RSP-1069 volume control. The eight connec-

tors provide output for: FRONT L & R, CENTER

1 & 2, SURROUND L & R, CENTER BACK CB1

& CB2, and SUBWOOFER 1 & 2.

NOTE: Depending on your system conﬁ gura-

tion, you may use some or all of these con-

nections. For example, if you only have one

center channel, connect it to the CENTER 1

output. If you only have one center back chan-

nel, connect it to the CB1 output.

ZONE 2–4 Audio Outputs

Three pair of RCA jacks, labeled ZONE OUT

send analog audio signals to audio systems

in up to three remote zones. These outputs

can be conﬁ gured as either ﬁ xed or variable

level using the ZONE SETUP menu.

NOTE: Only analog input signals are available

at the Zone 2, 3, and 4 outputs. Source com-

ponents connected to only the digital inputs

are not available in the remote zones.

To conﬁ gure your system for remote zone op-

eration, connect the left and right Zone 2 , 3,

or 4 outputs on the RSP-1069 to the left and

right channel inputs of the ampliﬁ er power-

ing the remote zone speakers, using standard

RCA audio cables. There are also composite

video outputs for each of the zones.

Other Connections

AC Input

Your RSP-1069 is conﬁ gured at the factory

for the proper AC line voltage in the coun-

try where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/

60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC ). The

AC line conﬁ guration is noted on a decal on

the back of your unit.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT re-

ceptacle on the back of the unit.

NOTE: Memorized settings and video labels

are preserved indeﬁ nitely, even if the RSP-1069

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.

12V TRIGGER Connections

Many Rotel ampliﬁ ers offer the option of turn-

ing them on and off using a 12 volt trigger.

These six connections provide this 12 volt

trigger signal from the RSP-1069. When the

RSP-1069 is activated, a 12 volt DC signal

is sent from these jacks to the ampliﬁ ers to

turn them on. When the RSP-1069 is put in

STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is inter-

rupted and the ampliﬁ ers turn off.

To use the remote turn on feature, connect

one of the RSP-1069’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to

the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel ampliﬁ er,

using a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs

on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears

at the “tip” connector.

NOTE: The 12V Trigger outputs are conﬁ gured

to turn on in various combinations only when

speciﬁ c input sources are activated. See the

INPUT SETUP and ZONE 2–4 SETUP menus in

the Setup section of this manual for details.

REM IN Jacks

Four 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled EXT, ZONE

2, ZONE 3, and ZONE 4) receive command

codes from a third-party infrared receiver or

Rotel remote zone keypad, These remote IR

inputs are 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 2, 3, or 4 jacks are used

with IR repeater systems to receive signals

from IR control systems in remote locations.

For example, remote control signals sent to

the ZONE 2 jack control the ZONE 2 fea-

tures of the RSP-1069 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 ﬁ t

the REM IN jacks.

NOTE: The IR signals from the EXT IN and

ZONE IN jacks can be relayed to source

components using external IR emitters or

hard-wired connections from the IR OUT

jacks. See the following section for additional

information.

IR OUT Jacks

The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals received

at the REM IN ZONE 2–4 jacks or the REM

IN EXT jack 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 the three remote zones to be sent to the

source components, or to pass along IR sig-

nals 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.
