RSP-1069 Surround Sound Processor

Computer I/O

The RSP-1069 can be operated from a com-
puter with audio system control software from
third-party developers. This control is accom-
plished by sending operating codes from the
computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial con-
nection. In addition, the RSP-1069 can be up-
dated using special software from Rotel.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec-
essary network connections on the rear pan-
el. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular
plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-
BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.
For additional information on the connections,
cabling, software, and operating codes for
computer control or updating of the RSP-1069,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Making Connections

CD Player

See Figure 9
Connect the digital output of the CD player
to any of the Optical or Coax digital inputs
on the RSP-1069. Use the INPUT SETUP menu
to assign the digital input to the CD (the de-
fault is COAXIAL 2).
Optional: Connect the left and right analog
outputs from the CD player to the AUDIO IN
jacks labeled CD (left and right). This option
uses the CD player’s D/A converters; howev-
er, this may result in an extra A/D and D/A
conversion step.
There are typically no video connections for
a CD Player and no video input is assigned
to the CD, as a default setting.

DVD Player

See Figure 5
DVD connections can be made using HDMI,
Component Video, S-Video, or Composite
video connections.
NOTE: You must use either HDMI or Compo-
nent Video connections for a progressive
scan or high defi nition player. You must make
a Composite Video connection if you want
to use the DVD’s signal in one of the three
remote zones.
For HDMI connections: Connect an
HDMI cable from the output of the DVD
player to one of the HDMI IN 1–4 inputs on
the RSP-1069.
For Component Video connections:
Connect a set of three Component Video
cables from the output of the DVD player to
one of the COMPONENT VIDEO 1–3 inputs
on the RSP-1069. Make sure to connect the Y
output to the Y input, the PB output to the PB
input, and the PR output to the PR input.
For S-Video connections: Connect an
S-VIDEO cable from the output of the DVD
player to one of the S-VIDEO IN 1–3 inputs
on the RSP-1069.
For Composite Video connections: Con-
nect an RCA-RCA video cable from the output
of the DVD player to one of the COMPOSITE
IN 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1069.
NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to as-
sign the video input you have used to the
DVD source.
Digital audio connection: Connect the
digital output of the DVD player to any one of
the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN
COAXIAL 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1069. An HDMI
cable carries both digital video and digital
audio signals; therefore, no separate digital
audio connection needs to be made.
NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to as-
sign the digital input to the same video input
source used above.
Optional analog audio connection: If
you want to record the audio signal from the
DVD player, connect the left and right ana-
log outputs from the DVD player to one pair
of VIDEO IN 1–5 audio input jacks. Make
sure that you connect the right channel to
the R input jack and the left channel to the
L input jack.

Cable, Satellite, or HDTV Tuner

See Figure 7
TV tuner connections can be made using
HDMI, Component Video, S-Video, or Com-
posite video connections.
NOTE: You must use either HDMI or Compo-
nent Video connections for high defi nition
tuner, satellite, or cable receiver. You must
make a Composite Video connection if you
want to use the signal in one of the three
remote zones.
For HDMI connections: Connect an HDMI
cable from the output of the TV tuner to one of
the HDMI IN 1–4 inputs on the RSP-1069.
For Component Video connections:
Connect a set of three Component Video ca-
bles from the output of the TV tuner to one of
the COMPONENT VIDEO 1–3 inputs on the
RSP-1069. Make sure to connect the Y output
to the Y input, the PB output to the PB input,
and the PR output to the PR input.
For S-Video connections: Connect an
S-VIDEO cable from the output of the TV
tuner to one of the S-VIDEO IN 1–3 inputs
on the RSP-1069.
For Composite Video connections: Con-
nect an RCA-RCA video cable from the output
of the TV tuner to one of the COMPOSITE IN
1–3 inputs on the RSP-1069.
NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to as-
sign the video input you have used to the TV
Tuner source.
Digital audio connection: Connect the
digital output of the TV tuner to any one of the
DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN CO-
AXIAL 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1069. An HDMI
cable carries both digital video and digital
audio signals; therefore, no separate digital
audio connection needs to be made.
NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to as-
sign the digital input to the same video input
source used above.
Optional analog audio connection: If
you want to record the audio signal from the
TV tuner, connect the left and right analog out-
puts from the TV tuner to one pair of VIDEO
IN 1–5 audio input jacks. Make sure that you
connect the right channel to the R input jack
and the left channel to the L input jack.
