RSX-1057Surround Sound Receiver

Output Conversion: The RSX-1057 converts Composite and S-Video signals to Component Video signals for output to an NTSC or PAL TV monitor. S-Video signals cannot be con- verted to Composite outputs and vice versa. No other video formats can be converted to HDMI signals. For maximum convenience, connect the RSX-1057 to the TV monitor with Component Video connections.

NOTE: When a video input is selected for pro- gressive mode on the Other Options menu, the conversion from Composite or S-Video to Component Video output is not available for this input. The conversion from Composite or S-VIDEO to Component Video output is only available for the other video inputs.

Many digital HDTV monitors adjust scan rates and other video parameters depend- ing on the type of input connection. You may wish to make multiple connections between the RSX-1057 and the TV monitor, switch- ing inputs on the TV to take advantage of these features.

Composite Video Inputs

Five inputs accepts standard Composite video signals from source components using stan- dard 75 ohm RCA video cables.

Composite Video Outputs

Three RCA jacks, labeled COMPOSITE OUT 1–3, provide connections for sending Com- posite 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 RSX-1057 cannot convert S-Video or Component Video to Composite video. There- fore, only signals from 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-Vid- eo 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 RSX-1057 cannot convert Com- posite video or Component Video signals to S-Video. Only signals received at the S-Video inputs are available at these outputs.

Component Video Inputs

Component Video connections split the vid- eo into three signals – luminance (Y) and chrominance (PB and PR) signals, allowing delivery of a reference quality picture with high deﬁnition signals. Component Video connections should be used for progressive scan DVD players and high-deﬁnition televi- sion receivers. Each of these signals is car- ried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors.

Three sets of inputs, labeled COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1–3 accept Component video sig- nals from source components.

NOTE: When using a progressive scan or 1080i HDTV video signal from the Component Video inputs, 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 progressive or HDTV signals. When the main OSD setup menus are displayed, the progressive video signal is interrupted and restored when the OSD menus are cancelled. The temporary OSD information displays (such as volume setting, etc.) are not displayed.

HDMI Inputs

HDMI inputs provide pass-through digital video connections for use with components that have either HDMI outputs or DVI-D out- puts (with an appropriate DVI-HDMI adapt- er). HDMI connection carry video signals in all formats including progressive scan up to 1080p. The implementation of the HDMI

pass-through switching does not support audio signals; thus, a separate audio connection is necessary from an HDMI component.

Two inputs, labeled HDMI VIDEO IN 1–2 ac- cept signals from source components.

NOTE: When using HDMI connections, the TV monitor cannot display the OSD menus and cannot display video from Composite, S-Video, or Component Video sources. When using the HDMI pass-through switching of the RSX-1057, it is usually recommended to also make connections using one of the other video cabling standards.

TV Monitor Outputs

The TV MONITOR outputs of the RSX-1057 send the video signal to your TV monitor. Four types of video output connections are provided – RCA Composite video, S-Video, Component Video, and HDMI digital.

The Composite video output only sends sig- nals from Composite video inputs to the TV monitor. The S-Video output only sends sig- nals from S-Video video inputs to the TV. The HDMI output only sends signals from HDMI video inputs to the TV. The Component Vid- eo outputs convert interlaced signals from S-Video or Composite source inputs to the TV and, therefore, are the most convenient type of connection.

NOTE: When a video input or inputs are se- lected for progressive mode on the Other Options menu, the conversion from Compos- ite or S-Video to Component Video output is not available for those inputs. The conversion from Composite or S-VIDEO to Component Video output is only available for the other video inputs.

If you have connected all of your source com- ponents with the same type of analog video connection (Composite, S-Video, or Compo- nent Video), then you only need to make one video connection from the RSX-1057 to the TV monitor. In a system with only analog video connections, you can connect the RSX-1057 to the TV monitor with only Component Video connections because Composite and S-Video signals are converted to Component Video signals. In a system with HDMI connections, it is also necessary to make an analog video connection to the TV monitor in order to dis- play OSD menus or video signals from non- HDMI source components.
