input is assigned, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may be avail- able at the digital input.
By default, the source DEVICE/INPUT buttons are factory configured to select the following inputs:
CD: | Analog input |
Tuner: | Analog input |
Tape: | Analog input |
Video 1: | Digital Coaxial 1 |
Video 2: | Digital Coaxial 2 |
Video 3: | Digital Coaxial 3 |

Muting the Sound 
The volume of the RSP-1098 can be turned off or muted. Push the MUTE button on the front panel or the remote once to turn the sound off. A MUTE indication appears in the OSD and/or TFT displays. Press the MUTE button again to restore previous volume levels.
NOTE: If the TFT screen and TV monitor are turned off, muting the sound gives no visual indication, creating a false impression that the RSP-1098 is not working correctly.
Selecting Inputs
Up to three audio sources and five audio/video sources (Tuner, CD, DVD, VCR, etc.) can be connected to the RSP-1098. Any of these sources can be independently selected for lis- tening/viewing in the main room, for record- ing, or for listening/viewing in a remote Zone 2 location.
The OSD and/or TFT displays show the name of the current source selection as it is made. The labels for all input sources can be custom- ized to match your components.
All of the source inputs can be customized using the OSD configuration menus to accept either analog signals or digital signals from one of the eight assignable digital inputs. When a digital input is assigned, the RSP-1098 checks for the presence of a digital signal at that in- put. If a digital signal is present when the source is selected, it is automatically activated and the proper surround mode enabled. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs for that source are selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for digital source in- puts such as DVD players. When an ANALOG
