Connecting a Blu-ray or DVD Player

See Figure 5
In some cases DVD, SACD, and other external multichannel processors are
connected to the processor by sending decoded analog audio signals using
RCA cables. A player with HDMI outputs can send digital signals directly
to the processor for decoding.
Analog Connections: To connect a Blu-ray or DVD player (or any device
that decodes multi-channel audio) with analog connections, use audio RCA
cables to connect the outputs of the player to the RCA jacks labeled MULTI
INPUT on the RSP-1576MKII. Make 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, REAR L & R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER), seven connections (adding
a CENTER BACK connection), or eight connections (adding two CENTER
BACK connections).
The MULTI inputs are analog bypass inputs, passing signals directly to the
Volume Control and preamp outputs, bypassing all of the digital processing.
HDMI digital connection: If the player has HDMI outputs, simply connect
an HDMI cable from the output of the player to one of the HDMI inputs
on the processor. This cable sends the video signal from the player along
with a digital audio signal. Using HDMI for audio and video allows the
multichannel decoding to be handled by the processor.

Connecting a Display

See Figure 10
Connect one of the HDMI outputs of the RSP-1576MKII to the HDMI input
of your TV or projector. The RSP-1576MKII has two HDMI outputs. Only
one HDMI output will display the OSD and is ARC enabled. This output is
labeled on the rear panel with ARC/OSD.

Connecting a CD Player or XLR Source

See Figure 7
Digital audio connection: Connect the digital output of the CD player to the
Optical or Coax digital inputs on the RSP-1576MKII. Use the INPUT SETUP
menu to assign the audio input to the CD (the default is CD).
Analogue audio connections:
Option 1: 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 converter. Depending on the selected DSP mode this connection
method may require the analog signal to be converted to a digital signal
for processing.
Option 2: If your CD Player (or another source) has XLR output connectors,
you can use the XLR inputs on the RSP-1576MKII for this connection.
Connect the left and right XLR outputs from the source to the jacks labeled
BALANCED INPUT (left and right). This option uses the CD player's D/A
converter. Depending on the selected DSP mode this connection method may
require the analog signal to be converted to a digital signal for processing.
Although there are typically no video connections for a CD Player, the
RSP-1576MKII can assign another video input to the CD or XLR input. The
Video choices are HDMI 1-7 (Front), Last Video Source, or Off. HDMI 1
video input is assigned to CD and XLR as the default setting.

Connecting a Tuner

See Figure 8
Digital audio connection: If using an HD Radio or other digital tuner, connect
the digital output of the tuner to the Optical or Coax digital inputs on the
RSP-1576MKII. Use the INPUT SETUP menu to assign the audio input to the
TUNER source (the default is TUNER analog input jacks).
Analog audio connection:
Option 1: If using an analog tuner, connect the left and right analog outputs
from the tuner to the pair of analog input jacks labeled TUNER on the
RSP-1576MKII. Make sure that you connect the right channel to the R input
jack and the left channel to the L input jack.
Option 2: If your Tuner has XLR output connectors, you can use the XLR inputs
on the RSP-1576MKII for this connection. Connect the left and right XLR
outputs from the source to the jacks labeled BALANCED INPUT (left and right).
Although there are typically no video connections for a Tuner, the
RSP-1576MKII can assign another video input to the Tuner input. The Video
choices are HDMI 1 - 7 (Front), Last Video Source, or Off. HDMI 1 video
input is assigned to the Tuner input as a default setting.

Connecting an iPod/iPhone

See Figure 6
Connect the iPod/iPhone to the front USB socket.
NOTE: The audio inputs CD, PHONO, XLR, MULTI, USB, PC-USB,
BLUETOOTH, and TUNER are set to HDMI 1 video input as the factory
default. Video input can be changed to HDMI 1-7 (Front), Last Video
Source, or Off.

Front Panel Overview

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

Front Panel Display
