VIDEO 1–5 Audio Inputs 
Five pair of RCA inputs, labeled VIDEO IN 1–5, provide connections for left/right ana- log audio signals from five additional source components. These inputs have correspond- ing video inputs and are used for VCRs, sat- ellite TV tuners, DVD players, etc. However, they may also be used for additional audio only components, simply by omitting the cor- responding video connections.
VIDEO 1–3 Audio Outputs 
Three pair of RCA jacks, labeled VIDEO OUT 1–3, provide connections for sending line level left and right analog audio signals for recording to a VCR. .
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 outputs to the same VCR.
NOTE: There are no analog audio outputs for VIDEO 4 & 5. Therefore, in an elaborate sys- tem, hook up all of the VCRs and recording devices to VIDEO 1–3 and use VIDEO 4 & 5 for playback only components.
NOTE: Video 1–3 can be used for audio-only tape decks, simply omitting the correspond- ing video connections.
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 CENTER BACK (CB) 1 & 2.
These inputs bypass all digital processing in the RSX-1057 and are routed directly to the Volume control and 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 filter 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.

Speaker Outputs 
The RSX-1057 has five built-in amplifiers, two for the front (right and left), one for the center channel, and two for the rear sur- round speakers (right and left). There are five pairs of binding post connections (one pair for each speaker) which accept bare wire, spade lugs, or banana plug connectors (in some markets).
NOTE: The RSX-1057 has a speaker redirect feature which allows you to use the front chan- nel amplifiers to drive center back speakers or remote Zone 2 speakers when a separate power amplifier is used for the front speak- ers. This feature is configured in the Default Setup menu.
Preamp Outputs 
A group of ten RCA analog audio outputs sends the RSX-1057’s line level output signals to external amplifiers and powered subwoof- ers. These outputs are variable level, ad- justed by the RSX-1057 volume control. The ten connectors provide output for: FRONT L
&R, CENTER 1 & 2, SURROUND (REAR) L
&R, CENTER BACK CB1 & CB2, and SUB- WOOFER 1 & 2.
NOTE: Depending on your system configura- 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 Audio Outputs 
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled ZONE OUT, sending analog audio signals to an external amplifier for a remote zone. These outputs can be configured as either fixed or variable level using the ZONE 2 SETUP menu.
NOTE: Only analog input signals are available at the Zone 2 outputs. Source components connected to only the digital inputs are not available in Zone 2.
To configure your system for Zone 2 opera- tion, connect the left and right Zone 2 out- puts on the RSX-1057 to the left and right channel inputs of the amplifier powering the remote speakers, using standard RCA audio cables.

Video Inputs & Outputs
These connections are used for connecting video signals to and from the RSX-1057. See the Making Connections section for specific instructions for each type of component.
The RSX-1057 provides Composite, S-Video, Component Video, and HDMI connections. Composite video connections simplify system configuration; however, S-Video connections typically provide better picture quality. Com- ponent Video or HDMI connections provide the best signal quality and are required for HDTV or progressive scanned DVD video.
NOTE: The HDMI digital connections are compatible with DVI components with an appropriate DVI-D cable adapter.
The RSX-1057 provides pass-through HDMI switching only. It will send an HDMI digital signal from a source component to the TV monitor, but cannot convert any other type of video to HDMI output and cannot display its On Screen Menus on the HDMI output. When using the HDMI connections, it is al- most always necessary to also make connec- tions using one of the other types.
Consider the following implications for your system configuration:
On Screen Display: The RSX-1057 OSD system is available on the TV monitor, when using Composite, S-Video, or Component Video connections from the RSX-1057 outputs to the TV set. The OSD menus cannot be dis- played when using HDMI connections from the RSX-1057 to the TV monitor.
NOTE: When using a progressive scan or 1080i video signal from the Component Video out- puts of the RSX-1057, the TV monitor cannot display the video signal and the OSD menus at the same time. A “progressive” setting in the Other Options setup menu allows the use of the main OSD setup menus, even with progres- sive or HDTV signals. When the main OSD setup menus are activated, the progressive scan video input is interrupted and restored when the OSD menus are cancelled. The temporary OSD information displays (such as volume setting, etc.) are not displayed.
