Each of the five also provides a choice of an RCA composite video input or S-Video input for the video signal from the source component. In addition, two of the video source inputs (Video 1 and Video 2) also feature Component Video input connections as an alternative to the composite video or S-Video connections. VIDEO 1­5 Composite Video Inputs If you use the RCA composite video connections for a source component, connect the RCA video output of the source component to one of the video inputs labeled COMPOSITE IN. Use a standard 75 ohm video cable. Video Source Outputs Three of the available video sources (VIDEO 1, 2 and 3) feature outputs that allow you to send a signal to a VCR or other source component for recording. The recording signal available at all of these outputs is selected globally using the REC button on the front panel or the ZONE button on the remote and is independent of the source selected for listening. NOTE: Recording signals are available at all source outputs, including the source selected for recording. As a general rule, you should not attempt record to the component whose signal has been selected for recording. VIDEO 1­5 S-Video Inputs S-Video signals use a special cable which divides the video signal into several elements carried by separate conductors, providing higher quality than the standard RCA composite cables. If you choose to use an S-Video input connection from a source component, connect the S-Video output of that component to one of the inputs on the RSP-970 labeled S-VIDEO IN using a standard S-Video interconnect cable. There is no need to use more than one type of video connection from a source component, although doing so will cause no harm to the unit. RCA composite and SVideo), the RSP-970 will give priority to the S-Video connection and use that signal. As a general rule, we recommend using S-Video connections whenever possible. NOTE: VIDEO 1­2 Component Video Inputs Component Video connections split the video into three signals ­ luminance (Y) and separate chrominance (CB and CR) elements, allowing delivery of a reference-quality picture. Each of these signals is carried by a separate 75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors. The VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 source inputs provide an option for using Component Video connections. In general, you would use digital connections for a DVD player or other component that supplies a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. However, if you are connecting a high-end Rotel CD player with sophisticated internal D/A converters, you might prefer to use analog audio connections to the RSP-970. NOTE: Connect the digital output to the digital input of your recorder or processor. You can use either a 75 ohm coaxial video cable or an optical cable, choosing between the two connectors using the INPUT MENU described later in this manual. Output Signal Connections This section of the manual describes the audio and video signal output connections on the RSP-970. These are used for routing the output signals to television monitors, audio amplifiers, and recording devices. Power and Miscellaneous Connections AC Input Your RSP-970 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit. Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. NOTE: Memorized settings and video labels will be stored for up to one month if the RSP976 is disconnected from AC power. Digital Inputs The RSP-970 accepts digital input signals from source components such as CD players, satellite TV receivers, and 5. 1 channel Dolby Digital or DTS signals from DVD players. The built-in D/A converter senses and adjusts to the correct sampling 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 MENU screen described later in this manual. For example, you can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital input connector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital input to the VIDEO 3 source. Connect the appropriate cable (optical or 75 ohm coaxial) from the digital output of your source component to a digital input on the RSP-970 and then configure that digital input for use with the source component using the INPUT MENU. TV Monitor Output The video output of the RSP-970 sends the video signal to your TV monitor. [. . . ] You will need to change surround modes using the front panel or remote buttons to adjust a different mode. NOTE: Use the +/­ buttons to adjust the subwoofer level for the current surround mode. Press the MENU key on the remote to cancel the display and return to normal operation.
