VIDEO 1–5
Composite Video Inputs 
Five inputs accepts standard composite video signals from source components using stan- dard 75 ohm RCA video cables.
VIDEO 1–3
Composite Video Outputs 
Three RCA jacks, labeled COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT 1–3, provide connections for sending composite video signals for recording on a VCR or other recording device.
These connections correspond to the VIDEO IN 1-3 connections. Make sure that you are consistent. If you hook up a particular VCR to the VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1 output to the same VCR.
NOTE: The RSP-1098 cannot convert S-Video or Component Video signals to composite video. Therefore, only signals received at the composite video inputs are available at these outputs.
VIDEO 1–5 S-Video Inputs 
Five inputs, labeled S-VIDEO IN 1–5 accept S-Video signals from source components.
VIDEO 1–3 S-Video Outputs 
Three S-VIDEO jacks, labeled S-VIDEO OUT 1–3, provide connections for sending S-Video signals for recording on a VCR or other re- cording device.
These connections correspond to the VIDEO IN 1-3 connections. Make sure that you are consistent. If you hook up a particular VCR to the VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1 output to the same VCR.
NOTE: The RSP-1098 cannot convert compos- ite video or Component Video signals to S-Video. Only signals received at the S-Video inputs are available at these outputs.
VIDEO 1–4
Component Video Inputs 
Component Video connections split the video into three signals – luminance (Y) and sepa- rate chrominance (CB and CR) signals, allowing delivery of a reference-quality picture with high definition signals. Component Video connec- tions should be used for progressive scan DVD players and high-definition digital television
15
receivers. Each of these signals is carried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors.
NOTE: In progressive scan mode, a DVD player may not be able to output a usable video signal on its composite video outputs. In this case, the TFT screen will not be able to dis- play video from the DVD player, even with a composite video input.
Four sets of inputs, labeled COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1–4 accept Component video sig- nals from source components.
NOTE: When using a progressive scan or 1080i HDTV video signal from the Compo- nent Video inputs, the TV monitor cannot dis- play the video signal and the OSD menus at the same time. A “progressive” setting in the Display Options setup menu allows the use of the main OSD setup menus, even with pro- gressive or HDTV signals. When the main OSD setup menus are displayed, the progres- sive video signal is interrupted and restored when the OSD menus are cancelled. The tem- porary OSD information displays (such as vol- ume setting, etc.) are not displayed.
TV Monitor Outputs 
The TV MONITOR outputs of the RSP-1098 send the video signal to your TV monitor. Three types of video output connections are provided
–RCA composite video, S-Video, and Com- ponent Video.
The composite video output only sends signals from composite video inputs to the TV moni- tor. The S-Video output only sends signals from S-Video video inputs to the TV. The Compo- nent Video output converts signals from ANY type of source input 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-1098 to the TV monitor. If you connect the RSP-1098 to the TV monitor with Compo- nent Video connections, you also only need to make one type of connection because com- posite and S-Video signals are converted to Component Video.
NOTE: When the progressive mode is set to YES in the DISPLAY OPTIONS setup menu, the conversion from composite or S-Video to Com- ponent Video output is only available for the VIDEO 5 input, not for the VIDEO 1–4 inputs.

ZONE 2 Video Outputs 
The ZONE 2 Video outputs of the RSP-1098 send the video signal to a TV monitor in the remote zone. Two types of video output con- nections are provided – RCA composite video and S-Video.
NOTE: Only composite video input signals are available at the Zone 2 composite video out- puts. Only S-Video input signals are avail- able at the Zone 2 S-Video video outputs.
Digital Audio
Input & Outputs
The RSP-1098 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 eight digital inputs and four digital outputs for recording.
These digital connections can be used with any source component that supplies a digital signal, such as a DVD player, CD player, or satellite TV tuner.
NOTE: With a digital connection, the RSP-1098 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 sup- plies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal; other- wise the RSP-1098 will not be able to decode these formats.
Digital Inputs 
The RSP-1098 accepts digital inputs from source components such as CD players, satellite TV tuners, and DVD players. The built-in digital processor senses and adjusts to the correct sam- pling rates.
There are eight digital inputs on the rear panel, five coaxial and three optical. These digital inputs can be assigned to any of the input sources using the INPUT SETUP screen during the setup process. For example, you can as- sign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.
