Connecting video inputs

Connect your video components to the

RVE-1060 using HDMI, Component Video,

S-Video, or Composite Video connections.

Refer to Figures 6 or 7 and the detailed in-

structions in the CONNECTIONS section of

this manual.

Power

Plug the supplied AC cable into the back of

the RVE-1060 and into the AC wall outlet.

Turn the unit on by pressing the STANDBY

button on the front panel.

Conﬁgure the RVE-1060

Use the menus described in the Setup section

of the manual to assign each of the source

components you have connected to one of

the ﬁve available inputs. Conﬁgure the output

of the RVE-1060 to match the native resolu-

tion of your TV set.

Operating the RVE-1060

Press one of the input buttons on the front panel

or remote to select a video input for display

on the TV. Press the OUTPUT button on the

front panel or one of the OUTPUT buttons on

the remote to change the video resolution of

the output signal to the TV.

When connected to a Rotel surround proces-

sor or receiver, operation of the RVE-1060

is totally automatic. When selecting an input

from the surround processor, a command is

sent to the RVE-1060 to switch video sources

accordingly.

NOTE: The RVE-1060 can up-rez video signals

to a higher resolution, but cannot down-rez

video (for example, scaling 720p down to

480i). Therefore, make sure that the output

resolution is equal to or higher than the reso-

lution of all input sources.

NOTE: The RVE-1060 can only output stan-

dard deﬁnition video signals (480i or 576i)

from standard deﬁnition input sources.

NOTE: The RVE-1060 automatically outputs

either NTSC or PAL standard video to match

the video standard of the input source.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the RVE-1060 to your system

is straightforward. Each of the source com-

ponents in the system is connected to the

RVE-1060 video inputs with a digital or analog

video cable. In most systems, each of these

source components will also be connected to

a surround sound processor or A/V receiver

with a digital or analog audio cable.

The video output of the RVE-1060 is then

connected to an HDTV monitor and/or an

standard deﬁnition television, again using a

digital or analog video cable.

In addition, the RVE-1060 has serial and RJ-45

computer I/O connections for integration with

Rotel surround sound processors and/or other

system controllers. Finally, remote IR sensor

inputs are used for transferring infrared remote

control commands to the RVE-1060 and 12V

trigger connections for remote turn-on of the

RVE-1060 by other Rotel components.

NOTE: Do not plug any system component

into an AC source until all connections have

been properly made.

Cable Selection

Video connections to the RVE-1060 can be

made with digital or analog video cables:

Digital

The digital video connections to the RVE-1060

are made using HDMI cables. These multi-pin

connectors are capable of carrying broad-

band digital video signals plus digital audio

signals such as Dolby Digital 5.1

The HDMI connection standard is fully com-

patible with DVI connectors on source com-

ponents and HDTV monitors. Connecting a

DVI-equiped component to the RVE-1060’s

inputs or outputs requires the use of a DVI to

HDMI adaptor or cable.

Analog

Analog video components can be connected

to the RVE-1060 with a choice of three types

of analog video connections: composite video

or S-Video for standard deﬁnition TVs and

source components or Component Video for

high-deﬁnition TVs and components.

Video cables should have a 75 ohm imped-

ance. 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.

Connecting an

HDTV Monitor

A key feature of the RVE-1060 is that it can

send a video signal to any HDTV monitor in

exactly the format that best matches the na-

tive mode and resolution of the TV.

Digital HDTVs, such as LCD and plasma ﬂat-

screens, display digital signals directly. These

TVs should be connected to the RVE-1060

using the HDMI digital outputs.

Analog HDTVs, such as CRT and rear-projec-

tion 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 conver-

sion in the TV.

HDMI digital connection

See Figure 3

Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the

VIDEO OUT HDMI connector on the back of

the RVE-1060. Connect the other end of the

cable to the HDMI input connector on the

back of the HDTV.

Component Video

Analog connection

See Figure 4

A set of three Component Video cables with

RCA plugs is required to make Component

Video Connections between the RVE-1060

and the HDTV monitor:

1. Connect one cable from the VIDEO OUT

connector labeled Y on the RVE-1060 to

the Y input on the TV.

2. Connect a second cable from the VID-

EO OUT connector labeled PB on the

RVE-1060 to the PB input on the TV.

3. Connect a third cable from the VIDEO OUT

connector labeled PR on the RVE-1060 to

the PR input on the TV.

NOTE: The RVE-1060 video output settings

should be conﬁgured to match the resolution

of the HDTV.
