DVD or Blu-ray player and TV tuner connections can be made using
HDMI, Component 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 signals to Zone 2,3 & 4.
For HDMI connections: Connect an HDMI cable from the output of the
Blu-ray player to one of the HDMI IN 1–6 inputs on the receiver.
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 1–2 inputs on the receiver . 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 Composite Video connections: Connect an RCA-RCA video cable
from the output of the DVD player to one of the COMPOSITE IN 1–2
inputs on the receiver.
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 receiver. 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 1–6 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 receivers
are connected to the receiver by sending decoded analog audio signals
using RCA cables. A DVD-A player with HDMI outputs can send digital
signals directly to the receiver for decoding.
Analog Connections: To hook up a DVD-A, an SACD player (or any external
surround decoder) with analog connections, 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 consistency, i.e. connect
the right front channel to the FRONT R input, etc.
Depending on your system configuration, make six connections (FRONT L
& R, SURROUND L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER), seven connections
(adding a CENTER BACK connection), or eight connections (adding two
CENTER BACK or Vertical Height connections).
The MULTI inputs are analog bypass inputs, passing signals directly
through to the Volume Control and preamp outputs, bypassing all of
the digital processing. The receiver provides an optional bass redirect
feature that duplicates the seven main channels and passes them through
RSX-1562 SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER
an analog 100 Hz low pass filter, creating a summed mono subwoofer
output derived from the main channels. See the INPUT SETUP menu in the
Setup section of this manual for details on bass redirect feature.
HDMI digital connection: If the DVD-A player has HDMI outputs, simply
connect an HDMI cable to the output of the player to one of the HDMI 1–6
inputs on the receiver. This cable sends the video signal from the player
along with a digital audio signal. The DVD-A multichannel decoding is
handled by the receiver.
Connecting Video Recorder
See Figure 7
VCR connections can be made to any VIDEO inputs.
Composite connections: Connect an RCA video cable from the output of
the VCR to the COMPOSITE IN 1 input. Connect an RCA video cable
from the COMPOSITE OUT jack to the VCR inputs.
Audio Connections: Connect the left and right analog outputs from the
VCR to the VIDEO IN 1 audio inputs. Connect the left and right VIDEO
OUT audio outputs to the analog inputs on the VCR.
Optional Digital Audio: 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 receiver. Use the INPUT SETUP 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 COAXIAL OUT connections to the
digital input of the recorder.
Connecting CD Player
See Figure 8
Connect the digital output of the CD player to any of the Optical or Coax
digital inputs on the receiver. Use the INPUT SETUP menu to assign the
digital input to the CD (the default is OPTICAL 1).
Optional: Connect the left and right analog outputs from the CD player
to the AUDIO IN jacks labeled CD (left and right). This option uses the
CD player's D/A converters; however, this may result in an extra A/D
and D/A conversion step.
There are typically no video connections for a CD Player and no video
input is assigned to the CD, as a default setting.
Connecting Audio Recorder
See Figure 9
Connect the left and right analog outputs from an audio tape deck to the
VIDEO IN audio jacks (left and right).
Connect the Left/Right VIDEO 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
receiver. Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital input to an
audio source. If the recording device accepts a digital recording input,
