High Definition TVs:
With a high-definition cable or satellite tuner and an HDTV monitor, you should use Com- ponent Video and/or HDMI video connec- tions from the tuner. If the tuner has a DVI-D output, this can usually be connected to the HDMI input on the RSX-1057 using a DVI- HDMI adapter.
Connect a set of Component Video cables or an HDMI cable from the tuner to the ap- propriate VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 input on the RSX-1057.
Digital Audio connections:
Connect the digital output of the tuner to any one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital input to the same video input source used above. For example, if you use the Video 4 inputs above, assign the digital input to the VIDEO 4 input.
Analog audio connections:
If you want to record the audio signal from the tuner to a VCR or distribute the audio signal to Zone 2, connect the left and right analog outputs from the DVD player to the left and right AUDIO IN jacks corresponding to the VIDEO IN input selected above.
Audio Recorder 
See Figure 11
Connect the left and right analog outputs from an audio tape deck to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled TAPE IN (left and right).
Connect the left/right AUDIO OUT/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 RSX-1057. 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.

VCR or Digital Video Recorder
See Figure 9
VCR connections can be made to the VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3 inputs and outputs. If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all ana- log audio and video connections.
Connect video cables (Composite Video, S-Video, and/or Component Video) from the output of the VCR to the appropriate VIDEO IN 1–3 input.
Connect video cables (Composite Video and/or Component Video) from the VIDEO OUT jacks to the VCR inputs.
Connect the left and right analog outputs from the VCR to one pair of the AUDIO IN jacks labeled VIDEO 1–3.
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks for VIDEO 1–3 to the analog inputs on the VCR.
Optional: For a digital recording device, you can use digital audio connections. Con- nect the digital output of the recorder to one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSX-1057. Use the INPUT SET- UP 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 recording input, connect one of the OPTICAL OUT or CO- AXIAL OUT connections to the digital input of the recorder.
DVD-A or SACD Player 
See Figure 7
To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player, or any external surround decoder, 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 consis- tency, i.e. connect the right front channel to the R FRONT input, etc. Depending on your system configuration, make six connections (FRONT L & R, SURROUND L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER), seven connections (add- ing a CENTER BACK connection), or eight connections (adding two CENTER BACK connections).
English
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 RSX-1057 provides an optional bass redirect feature that duplicates the seven main channels and passes them through an analog 100 Hz low pass filter, 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.
TV Monitor 
See Figure 5
Connect the TV MONITOR output to the cor- responding input on your television monitor, using Composite video, S-Video, Component Video, and/or HDMI cables.
NOTE: The RCA Composite video output only sends signals from RCA Composite video source inputs to the TV monitor. The S-Video output only sends signals from S-Video source inputs to the TV. The HDMI output only sends signals from HMDI source inputs to the TV and cannot display the On Screen Menus. The RSX-1057 upconverts Composite and S-Video signals to Component Video.
When configuring the unit, you must specify either an NTSC or a PAL standard TV moni- tor. See the Other Options menu in the Setup section of this manual.
For HDTV monitors:
To send progressive scanned or high-defi- nition signals to the TV, you must connect it with either a set of three Component Video cables or an HDMI digital cable. Either can provide excellent results, but in general using the HDMI cable is preferable for a monitor that displays digital signals (LCD, plasma, DLP, etc.). Component Video cables would be preferable for CRT-based direct view or rear projection monitors that display ana- log signals.
If you use the HDMI connection, the moni- tor will display video at whatever resolution is sent from the source component. Set the resolution of the source component to match the TV’s native resolution.
