12V TRIGGER Connections

Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using a 12 volt trigger. These three connections provide this 12 volt trigger signal from the RSX-1067. When the RSX-1067 is activated, a 12 volt DC signal is sent to the amplifiers to turn them on. When the RSX-1067 is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifiers turn off.

To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RSX-1067’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, us- ing a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.

NOTE: The 12V Trigger outputs can be config- ured to turn on only when specific input sources are activated. See the Input Setup and Zone 2 Setup menus in the Setup section of this manual for details.

REM IN Jacks

Two 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled ZONE and EXT) receive command codes from an indus- try-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.), used when the IR signals from a hand held remote control cannot reach the front panel IR sensor.

EXT: The EXT jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the front panel IR sen- sor. This feature is useful when the unit is in- stalled in a cabinet and the front panel sen- sor is blocked or when IR signals need to be relayed to other components.

ZONE: The ZONE jack is used with IR repeater systems to receiver signals from IR control sys- tems in remote location. For example, remote control signals sent to the ZONE REM IN control the ZONE 2 features of the RSX-1067 and can be relayed to other components.

Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for in- formation on external receivers and the proper wiring of a 3.5 mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN jacks.

NOTE: The IR signals from the EXT REMOTE IN and ZONE REMOTE IN jacks can be re- layed to source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional information.

IR OUT Jacks

The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals re- ceived at the ZONE REM IN or the EXT REM IN jacks to an infrared blaster or emitter placed in front of a source component’s IR sensor. In addition, the IR OUT can be hard-wired to Rotel CD players, DVD players, or tuners with a com- patible connector.

These outputs are used to allow IR signals from Zone 2 to be sent to the source components, or to pass along IR signals from a remote in the main room when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet.

See your authorized Rotel dealer for information on IR emitters and repeater systems.

Computer I/O

The RSX-1067 can be operated from a com- puter with audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accom- plished by sending operating codes from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial con- nection. In addition, the RSX-1067 can be up- dated using special software from Rotel.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec- essary network connections on the rear panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.

For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for com- puter control or updating of the RSX-1067, con- tact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Making Connections

CD Player

Connect the left and right analog outputs from the CD player to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled CD (left and right).

Optional: Connect the digital output of the CD player to any of the Optical or Coax digital inputs on the RSX-1067. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital input to the CD source.

There are no video connections for a CD Player.

DVD Player

DVD connections can be made to the VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs. In elaborate systems, you may wish to use VIDEO 4 or VIDEO 5 for DVD players, since these inputs do not have corresponding OUTPUT connections. If you choose VIDEO 1, make sure that you use VIDEO 1 inputs and outputs for all analog audio and video connections.

Connect a video cable (Composite Video, S-Video, and/or Component Video from the output of the DVD player to the appropriate VIDEO IN 1–5 input. If you intend to use the progressive scan feature with an HDTV moni- tor, you should use Component Video connec- tions.

Connect the digital output of the DVD player to any one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSX-1067. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital in- put 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.

If you want to record the audio signal from the DVD player, 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.
