AM/FM Tuner

See Figure 11

Digital audio connection: If using an

HD Radio or other digital tuner, connect the

digital output of the tuner to any one of the

DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN CO-

AXIAL 1–3 inputs on the RSP-1069.

NOTE: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign

the digital input to TUNER source.

Analog audio connection: If using an

analog AM/FM tuner or if you want to record

the audio signal from the tuner, connect the

left and right analog outputs from the tuner to

the pair of audio input jacks labeled TUNER

on the RSP-1069. Make sure that you connect

the right channel to the R input jack and the

left channel to the L input jack.

There are typically no video connections for

an AM/FM tuner and no video input is as-

signed by default.

Audio Recorder

See Figure 10

Connect the left and right analog outputs

from an audio tape deck to the TAPE IN jacks

(left and right).

Connect the left/right TAPE OUT jacks to the

inputs on the audio tape deck.

Optional: For a digital recording device,

connect the digital output of the recorder to

one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital

inputs on the RSP-1069. Use the INPUT SET-

UP screen to assign that digital input to the

TAPE source. If the recording device accepts

a digital recording input, connect one of the

OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections

to the digital input of the recorder.

No video connections are required for an

audio recording device.

Video Recorder

See Figure 8

VCR connections can be made to the VID-

EO 1 or VIDEO 2. If you choose VIDEO 1,

make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs and

outputs for all analog audio and video con-

nections.

S-Video connections: Connect an S-Vid-

eo cable from the output of the VCR to the S-

VIDEO IN 1 or 2 input. Connect an S-Video

cable from the S-VIDEO OUT 1 or 2 jack to

the VCR inputs.

Composite connections: Connect an

RCA video cable from the output of the VCR

to the COMPOSITE IN 1 or 2 input. Connect

an RCA video cable from the COMPOSITE

OUT 1 or 2 jack to the VCR inputs.

Audio Connections: Connect the left and

right analog outputs from the VCR to either

the VIDEO IN 1 or VIDEO IN 2 audio inputs.

Connect the left and right VIDEO OUT 1 or

VIDEO OUT 2 audio outputs to the analog

inputs on the VCR.

Optional Digital Audio: For a digital

recording device, connect the digital output

of the recorder to one of the OPTICAL IN or

COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSP-1069.

Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that

digital input to the VIDEO source (VIDEO 1,

2, or 3) used for the previous connections.

If the recording device accepts a digital re-

cording input, connect one of the OPTICAL

OUT or COAXIAL OUT connections to the

digital input of the recorder.

DVD-A or SACD Player

See Figure 6

In most cases, DVD-A, SACD, and other ex-

ternal multichannel processors are connect-

ed to the RSP-1069 by sending decoded

analog audio signals using RCA cables. A

DVD-A player with HDMI outputs can send

digital signals directly to the RSP-1069 for

decoding.

Analog Connections:

To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player (or any

external surround decoder) with analog con-

nections, use audio RCA cables to connect the

outputs of the player to the RCA jacks labeled

MULTI INPUT, making sure that you observe

proper channel consistency, i.e. connect the

right front channel to the FRONT R input, etc.

Depending on your system conﬁ guration, make

six connections (FRONT L & R, SURROUND

L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER), seven

connections (adding a CENTER BACK con-

nection), or eight connections (adding two

CENTER BACK connections).

The MULTI inputs are analog bypass inputs,

passing signals directly through to the Vol-

ume Control and preamp outputs, bypassing

all of the digital processing. The RSP-1069

provides an optional bass redirect feature

that duplicates the seven main channels and

passes them through an analog 100 Hz low

pass ﬁ lter, creating a summed mono sub-

woofer output derived from the main chan-

nels. See the INPUT SETUP menu in the Set-

up section of this manual for details on bass

redirect feature.

Digital HDMI Connection:

If the DVD-A player has HDMI outputs, simply

connect an HDMI cable to the output of the

player to one of the HDMI 1–4 inputs on the

RSP-1069. This cable sends the video signal

from the player along with a digital audio

signal. The DVD-A multichannel decoding is

handled by the RSP-1069.

HDTV Monitor

See Figure 4

A key feature of the RSP-1069 is that it can

send a video signal to any HDTV monitor in

exactly the format that best matches the na-

tive mode and resolution of the TV.

Digital HDTVs, such as LCD and plasma ﬂ at-

screens, display digital signals directly. These

TVs should be connected to the RSP-1069 us-

ing the HDMI digital outputs.

Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projec-

tion sets, display analog signals. Although

these can be connected with an HDMI ca-

ble, these TVs should generally be connect-

ed with analog Component Video cables to

avoid an unnecessary digital-to-analog con-

version in the TV.

NOTE: Do not connect HDMI and Component

Video outputs to a monitor simultaneously,

as the two video image signals may affect

each other.;
