Connecting Monitor
----HDTV Monitor
See Figure 4
A key feature of this Rotel processor is that it can send a video signal
to any HDTV monitor in exactly the format that best matches the native
mode and resolution of the TV.
Digital HDTVs, such as LCD, LED and Plasma flat-screens, display digital
signals directly. These TVs should be connected to the processor using
the HDMI digital outputs.
Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projection sets, display analog
signals. Although these can be connected with an HDMI cable, these TVs
should generally be connected with analog Component Video cables to
avoid an unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion in the TV.
Note: Do not connect HDMI and Component Video outputs to a monitor
simultaneously, as the two video image signals may affect each other.
HDMI digital connection: Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI
OUT connector on the back of the processor. Connect the other end of
the cable to the HDMI input connector on the back of the HDTV.
You can usually connect the HDMI output of the processor to a monitor
with DVI-D inputs by using an appropriate HDMI-DVI adapter.
Note: In order for HDMI signals to be displayed properly, the TV monitor
must be compatible with HDCP copy protection.
Component Video Analog connection: A set of three Component Video
cables with RCA plugs is required to make Component Video Connections
between the processor and the HDTV monitor:
1.
Connect one cable from the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
connector labeled Y on the processor to the Y input on the TV.
2.
Connect a second cable from the connector labeled PB on the
processor to the PB input on the TV.
3.
Connect a third cable from the connector labeled PR on the processor
to the PR input on the TV.
Note: HDTV Component Video output is subject to HDCP copy protection.
It may not display 720p or 1080i resolution when the source signal
incorporates copy protection. However, when Video Out is set to
480p/576p in the VIDEO/HDMI menu, all sources will be available.
----SDTV Monitor
See Figure 4
The RSP-1580 can output standard definition video signals (either
Composite Video or S-Video) when the input video source is a standard
resolution (480i or 576i) video signal.
Note: The Composite and S-Video input signal is bypassed to the
Composite and S-Video output. It is not processed or scaled by the
unit. When possible connect HDMI or at least Component outputs to
your monitor.
S-Video Analog connection: Connect an S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO
OUT output on the back of the processor. Connect the other end of the
cable to the S-Video input on the TV.
Composite Video Analog connection: Connect an RCA video cable to the
COMPOSITE OUT output on the back of the processor. Connect the other
end of the cable to the Composite Video input on the TV.
Connecting DVD, Blu-ray Player and Cable, Satellite, HDTV tuner
See Figure 5
DVD or Blu-ray player and TV tuner connections can be made using HDMI,
Component Video, S-Video, or Composite video connections.
Note: You must use either HDMI or Component Video connections for
a progressive scan or high definition player. You must make an analog
audio connection if you want to send analog signals to MON 2,3 &
4.
For HDMI connections: Connect an HDMI cable from the output of the
Blu-ray player to one of the HDMI IN 1–4 inputs on the processor.
For Component Video connections: Connect a set of three Component Video
cables from the output of the DVD player to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO
1–3 inputs on the processor . Make sure to connect the Y output to the
Y input, the PB output to the PB input, and the PR output to the PR input.
For S-Video connections: Connect an S-Video cable from the output of
the DVD player to one of the S-Video IN 1–3 inputs on the processor
For Composite Video connections: Connect an RCA-RCA video cable
from the output of the DVD player to one of the COMPOSITE IN 1–3
inputs on the processor.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the video input you have
used to the Blu-ray source.
Digital audio connection: Connect the digital output of the DVD player
to any one of the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1–4 or DIGITAL IN COAXIAL
1–3 inputs on the processor. An HDMI cable carries both digital
video and digital audio signals; therefore, no separate digital audio
connection needs to be made.
Note: Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign the digital input to the
same video input source used above.
Optional analog audio connection: If you want to record the audio signal
from the DVD player, connect the left and right analog outputs from the
DVD player to one pair of VIDEO IN 1–5 audio input jacks. Make sure
that you connect the right channel to the R input jack and the left channel
to the L input jack.
Connecting DVD-A or SACD Player
See Figure 6
In most cases, DVD-A, SACD, and other external multichannel processors
are connected to the processor by sending decoded analog audio signals
using RCA cables. A DVD-A player with HDMI outputs can send digital
signals directly to the processor for decoding.
