Other features

• Multi-zone, multi-source capability with
independent input selection and volume.
• User friendly ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)
menu system with programmable labels for
all inputs. Choice of languages.
• Learning remote control to operate the
RSP-1068 and other components.
• Upgradeable microprocessor software to
accommodate future upgrades.
• Assignable 12V trigger outputs for remote
turn-on of power amplifiers and other
components.

Unpacking

Remove the unit carefully from its packing. Find
the remote control and other accessories. Save
the box as it will protect the RSP-1068 if you
move or need to return it for maintenance.

Placement

Place the RSP-1068 on a solid, level surface
away from sunlight, heat, moisture, or vibra-
tion. Make sure that the shelf can support the
weight of the unit.
Place the RSP-1068 close to the other com-
ponents in your system and, if possible, on its
own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and
subsequent system changes easier.
The RSP-1068 can generate heat during normal
operation. Do not block ventilation openings.
Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) of un-
obstructed space around the unit. If installed
in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate
ventilation.
Don't stack other components or objects on
top of the RSP-1068. Don't let any liquid fall
into the unit.

CONNECTIONS

Although the RSP-1068's rear panel looks
daunting, connecting the unit to your system is
straightforward. Each of the source components
in the system are connected to the RSP-1068
inputs with a pair of standard RCA cables for
analog audio, a video connection (composite,
S-Video, or Component Video), and an optional
digital audio cable (coax or optical).
NOTE: Surround formats like Dolby Digi-
tal and DTS are digital formats and the
RSP-1068 can only decode them when
a digital input signal is available. For
this reason, you should always connect
your DVD player's digital outputs to the
RSP-1068, using either the optical or coax
inputs.
The outputs of RSP-1068 are sent to power
amplifier(s) with standard RCA cables from
preamp audio outputs. The video signal from
the RSP-1068 is sent to the TV monitor using
composite video, S-Video, or Component
Video connections.
In addition, the RSP-1068 has MULTI input
connections for a source component that does
its own surround decoding, remote IR sensor
inputs, and 12V trigger connections for remote
turn-on of other Rotel components.
NOTE: Do not plug any system compo-
nent into an AC source until all connections
have been properly made.
Video cables should have a 75 ohm impedance.
The S/PDIF digital audio interface standard
also specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all
good digital cables adhere to this require-
ment. Do NOT substitute conventional audio
interconnect cables for digital or video signals.
Standard audio interconnects will pass these
signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce
performance.
When making signal connections, connect
LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and
RIGHT channels to RIGHT channel jacks. All
RCA-type connections on the RSP-1068 follow
these standard color codes:
Left channel audio: white RCA jack
Right channel audio: red RCA jack
Composite video: yellow RCA jack
NOTE: Each source input must be properly
configured using the Input Setup menu of
the OSD menu system. We recommend
going to this menu after connecting each
source to configure it as desired. See Input
Setup of the Setup section for information.
Analog Audio Inputs &
Outputs
The following connections are used for con-
necting analog audio signals to and from the
RSP-1068. See the Making Connections topic
for specific instructions on connecting each
type of component.
NOTE: Normally, the RSP-1068 converts
analog inputs to digital signals. All of the
digital processing is available including
bass management, digital crossovers,
speaker level and delay settings, and a
number surround mode options. Alterna-
tively, there is an analog bypass surround
mode that routes 2-ch and Multi Input ana-
log signals directly to the Volume control
and preamp outputs, bypassing the digital
processing entirely for pure analog stereo.

Tuner Inputs

a
A left/right pair of RCA analog audio inputs
for connecting an AM/FM tuner.

CD Inputs

s
A left/right pair of RCA analog audio inputs
for connecting a CD player.

TAPE Inputs

d
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled TAPE IN, for con-
necting the left/right analog audio signals from
an audio tape deck or recording device.

TAPE Outputs

d
A pair of RCA inputs, labeled TAPE OUT,
for sending left/right line level analog audio
signals for recording on a tape deck or re-
cording device.
NOTE: These outputs should be connected
to the inputs of the same tape deck con-
nected to the TAPE IN inputs.
