Video Source Inputs

There are input connections for five video source

components. Each of the five provides a pair

of RCA inputs for analog audio signals. Each

of the five also provides a choice of an RCA

composite video input or S-Video input for the

video signal from the source component. In

addition, two of the video source inputs (Video

1 and Video 2) also feature Component Video

input connections as an alternative to the com-

posite video or S-Video connections.

NOTE

: There is no need to use more than one

type of video connection from a source com-

ponent, although doing so will cause no harm

to the unit. If you make multiple connections

to a single source (i.e. RCA composite and S-

Video), the RSP-976 will give priority to the

S-Video connection and use that signal. As a

general rule, we recommend using S-Video

connections whenever possible.

There are also video record outputs (described

in a following section) which correspond to

three of the video source inputs – Video 1, 2,

and 3). For this reason, you should plan ahead

and designate each source component as

Video 1, Video 2, etc. All connections (both

input and output) from a source component

must be made consistently to the same set of

connections. For example, all input and out-

put connections to a particular VCR could be

made to Video 1 connectors.

Also, be sure that the channels are connected

consistently, i.e. left channel signals connected

to left channel inputs/outputs and right chan-

nel signals connected to right channel inputs/

outputs.

NOTE

: These video source inputs can also be

used for additional audio-only sources, omit-

ting the video signal connections.

VIDEO 1–5 Audio Inputs

Using standard audio interconnect cables,

connect the left and right channel analog au-

dio

outputs

of VCRs or other source compo-

nents to the VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5

inputs

using

standard RCA audio cables.

VIDEO 1–5

Composite Video Inputs

If you use the RCA composite video connec-

tions for a source component, connect the RCA

video

output

of the source component to one

of the video

inputs

labeled COMPOSITE IN.

Use a standard 75 ohm video cable.

VIDEO 1–5 S-Video Inputs

S-Video signals use a special cable which di-

vides the video signal into several elements

carried by separate conductors, providing

higher quality than the standard RCA composite

cables. If you choose to use an S-Video input

connection from a source component, connect

the S-Video

output

of that component to one

of the

inputs

on the RSP-976 labeled S-VIDEO

IN using a standard S-Video interconnect cable.

VIDEO 1–2

Component Video Inputs

Component Video connections split the video

into three signals – luminance (Y) and sepa-

rate chrominance (CB and CR) elements, al-

lowing delivery of a reference-quality picture.

Each of these signals is carried by a separate

75 ohm video cable with RCA connectors.

The VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 source inputs pro-

vide an option for using Component Video con-

nections. If you choose to use Component Video

input connection from a source component,

connect the three Component Video

outputs

of that component to the corresponding

inputs

on the RSP-976 labeled COMPONENT VIDEO

IN. Make sure that you connect each of the

three cables to the proper connector (Y to Y,

CB to CB, and CR to CR) and that you use

standard 75 ohm video interconnect cables.

5.1 Channel Audio Inputs

A set of RCA inputs accepts six channels of

analog signals from a 5.1 channel processor

or source component. When selected with the

front-panel 5.1CH button or remote EXT IN

button, this input overrides any other audio

input signal.

Use audio interconnect cables to connect the

six outputs of the source component to the RCA

jacks labeled 5.1 CH INPUT, making sure that

you observe proper channel consistency, i.e.

connect the right front channel to the R FRONT

input, etc. You will make six connections

(FRONT RIGHT/FRONT LEFT/REAR RIGHT/

REAR LEFT/CENTER/SUBWOOFER).

Video Source Outputs

Three of the available video sources (VIDEO

1, 2 and 3) feature outputs that allow you to

send a signal to a VCR or other source com-

ponent for recording. The recording signal avail-

able at all of these outputs is selected globally

using the REC button on the front panel or the

ZONE button on the remote and is indepen-

dent of the source selected for listening.

NOTE

: Recording signals are available at all

source outputs, including the source selected

for recording. As a general rule, you should

not attempt record to the component whose

signal has been selected for recording.

The record outputs for VIDEO 1, 2, and 3

include a pair of RCA analog audio outputs

plus a choice of composite video or S-Video

output. To hook up a video component for re-

cording, you will need to connect it to both

analog audio outputs and to your choice of

video outputs.

NOTE

: All connections (both input and output)

from a source component be made consis-

tently to the same set of connections. For ex-

ample, if you designate a VCR as VIDEO 1,

you must connect all of its input and output

signals to the VIDEO 1 connectors.

VIDEO 1–3 Audio Outputs

Using standard audio interconnect cables,

connect the left and right channel RCA audio

outputs

from the RSP-976 to the audio

inputs

on the source component. Make sure that you

are consistent. If you hook up a VCR to the

VIDEO 1 inputs, hook up the VIDEO 1 out-

puts to the same VCR. Also make sure that the

Left channel is connected to the LEFT connec-

tors and the right channel to the RIGHT con-

nectors.

VIDEO 1–3

Composite Video Outputs

If you choose to use the RCA composite video

connections for a source component, use a

75 ohm video interconnect cable to connect

the RSP-976’s RCA video

output

(labeled COM-

POSITE OUT) to the RCA video

input

on your

VCR.
