VIDEO 1–5
Composite Video Inputs
Five inputs accepts standard composite video
signals from source components using stan-
dard 75 ohm RCA video cables.
VIDEO 1–3
Composite Video Outputs
Three RCA jacks, labeled COMPOSITE OUT
1–3, provide connections for sending compos-
ite 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-1056 cannot convert S-Video
or Component Video to composite video.
Therefore, 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-Video
signals for recording on a VCR or other re-
cording 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-1056 cannot convert compos-
ite video or Component Video signals to
S-Video. Only signals received at the S-Video
inputs are available at these outputs.
VIDEO 1–3
Component Video Inputs
Component Video connections split the video
into three signals – luminance (Y) and chromi-
nance (P
B
and P
R
) signals, allowing delivery
of a reference quality picture with high defi-
nition signals. Component Video connections
should be used for progressive scan DVD play-
ers and high-definition television receivers. Each
of these signals is carried 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 Compo-
nent Video inputs, the TV monitor cannot dis-
play 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 pro-
gressive or HDTV signals. When the main
OSD setup menus are displayed, the progres-
sive video signal is interrupted and restored
when the OSD menus are cancelled. The tem-
porary OSD information displays (such as vol-
ume setting, etc.) are not displayed.
TV Monitor Outputs
The TV MONITOR outputs of the RSX-1056
send the video signal to your TV monitor. Three
types of video output connections are provided
– RCA composite video, S-Video, and Com-
ponent Video.
The composite video output only sends signals
from composite video inputs to the TV moni-
tor. The S-Video output only sends signals from
S-Video video inputs to the TV. The Compo-
nent Video output converts signals from ANY
type of source input to the TV. If you have
connected all of your source components with
the same type of connection, then you only
need to make one connection from the
RSX-1056 to the TV monitor. If you connect
the RSX-1056 to the TV monitor with Compo-
nent Video connections, you also only need
to make one type of connection because com-
posite and S-Video signals are converted to
Component Video.
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.
ZONE OUT Video Output
The ZONE OUT Video output of the RSX-1056
sends a composite video signal to a TV moni-
tor in Zone 2.
NOTE
:
Only composite video input signals are
available at the Zone 2 video output.
Digital Audio
Input & Outputs
The RSX-1056 provides digital connections
which may be used in place of, or in addi-
tion to, the analog audio input and output con-
nections described in the previous sections.
These connections include five digital inputs
and two digital outputs (for recording).
These digital connections can be used with
any source component that supplies a digital
signal, such as a DVD player, CD player, or
satellite TV tuner.
NOTE
:
With a digital connection, the RSX-1056
will be used to decode the signal, rather than
the source component’s internal decoders. In
general, you must use digital connections for
a DVD player or other component that sup-
plies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal; other-
wise the RSX-1056 will not be able to decode
these formats.
Digital Inputs
The RSX-1056 accepts digital inputs from source
components such as CD players, satellite TV
tuners, and DVD players. The built-in digital
processor senses and adjusts to the correct sam-
pling rates.
There are five digital inputs on the rear panel,
three coaxial and two optical. These digital
inputs can be assigned to any of the input
sources using the INPUT SETUP screen during
the setup process. For example, you can as-
sign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector
to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2
digital input to the VIDEO 3 source.
