RSP-1068 Surround Sound Processor
Make sure that you have each output connected
to the correct amplifier channel:
1. Connect the front right amplifier to the
FRONT R jack
2. Connect the front left amplifier to the FRONT
L jack.
3. Connect the center channel amplifier to the
CENTER 1 or CENTER 2 jack.
4. Connect the surround right amplifier to the
REAR R jack.
5. Connect the surround left amplifier to the
REAR L jack.
6. Connect the center back right amplifier to
the CB2 jack.
7. Connect the center back left amplifier to
the CB1 jack.
After you have connected the preamp outputs,
you need to configure the RSP-1068 for the
size and style of speakers in your system and
calibrate the relative volume levels of the
speakers using the built-in test tones. See the
Setup section of this manual.

Connecting a Subwoofer

See Figure 11
To hook up a powered subwoofer, connect a
standard RCA audio cable from either of the
two PREOUT jacks labeled SUB to the input on
the subwoofer's power amp. Both SUB outputs
provide the same signal. Use either connnection
for a single subwoofer. Use both connections
to hook up two subwoofers.
After you have connected the subwoofer, you
need to configure the RSP-1068 to use the sub-
woofer and calibrate the relative volume level
of the subwoofer using the built-in test tones.
See the Setup section of this manual.

Zone 2 Connections

See Figure 12
For audio connections to a remote
zone, connect the left and right ZONE OUT
jacks to the left and right channels of a remote
zone amplifier with an RCA audio cable.
For video connections to a remote
zone, connect the ZONE VIDEO OUT jack
to the input of a TV in the remote zone using
a composite video cable.
OPERATING
THE RSP-1068
Considering its large number of features,
settings, and options, the RSP-1068 is remark-
ably easy to operate. The key to operating
the RSP-1068 is its system of On-Screen
Displays (OSD) which guide you through
various choices.
The RSP-1068 can be operated from the
front panel or the remote control. Front panel
controls are unusually simple to use, with just
a few knobs and buttons to guide you through
OSD menu options. The remote control provides
more complete control options.
To guide you through the operation of the
RSP-1068, this section of the manual starts with
explaining the basic layout and function of the
front panel and the remote control. Then, we
explain the basic operations such as turning
the unit on and off, adjusting volume, select-
ing a source for listening, etc. Following that
is a detailed explanation of surround sound
modes and how to configure the RSP-1068 for
y various types of recordings. Finally, there are
instructions for additional features and Zone
2 operations. All of these are features that
may be used in normal use. The last section
of the manual (Configuration) details options
that may be selected during initial setup and
configuration of the unit, many of which will
be set once and left untouched.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes
refer to the RSP-1068 illustration at the front of
this manual. Letters refer to the RR-1050 remote
illustration. When both appear, the function is
found on both the RSP-1068 and the remote.
When only one appears, that function is found
only on the RSP-1068 or the remote.

Front Panel Overview

The following is a brief overview of the control
and features on the front panel of the RSP-1068.
Details concerning the use of these controls are
provided in subsequent sections of this manual
describing various tasks.

Front-panel Display

The fluorescent (FL) display on the front panel
of the RSP-1068 provides information useful
for operating the unit. The main portion of
the display has two rows of alpha-numeric
text displays. The top line shows the currently
selected source input on the left and the volume
setting on the right. The second line shows
the current surround mode or other settings
as they are changed (record source selec-
tion, Zone 2 source selection, dynamic range
settings, etc.)
Icons along the left side of the display show
the current surround mode. Icons along the
bottom left of the display show the current
digital input. Icons along the right bottom of
the display show individual surround channels
when configuring the system.
The FL display can be turned off, if desired. See
the MENU button section for instructions.

Remote Sensor

This sensor receives IR signals from the remote
control. Do not block this sensor.
NOTE: The remainder of the buttons and
controls on the front panel are described
in the Overview of Buttons and Controls
section.

Remote Control Overview

The RSP-1068 includes a full-function learning
remote control that can operate the RSP-1068
plus nine other audio/video components.
A separate manual gives detailed instructions
on programming and using the RR-1050 to
replace all of the remote controls in your sys-
tem. The RR-1050 manual covers many extra
features (such as custom labeling of remote
buttons that appear in its LCD display). To avoid
duplication, we provide only basic informa-
tion about using the RR-1050 to operate the
RSP-1068 in this manual.
Many of the RR-1050 functions duplicate
the front panel controls. For that reason,
we cover the controls on the remote under
appropriate topics throughout this manual.
Letters in gray boxes next to the name of a
function refers to the labeled illustration of
the remote at the front of this manual.
