Other Connections
AC Input
Your RSX-03 is configured at the factory for the
proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60Hz
AC or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC
line configuration is noted on a decal on the
back of your unit.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit.
NOTE: Memorized settings and video labels
are preserved indefinitely, even if the RSX-03
is disconnected from AC power.
Master Power Switch
The large rocker switch on the rear panel is
a master power switch. When it is in the OFF
position, power to the unit is completely off.
When it is in the ON position, the front panel
STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF but
-
tons can be used to activate the unit or put it
into standby mode.
NOTE: After all connections are completed,
the rear panel master power switch should
be put in the ON position and usually left in
that position.
12V TRIGGER Connections
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turn-
ing them on and off using a 12 volt trigger.
These two connections send a 12 volt trigger
signal from the RSX-03. When the RSX-03 is
activated, a 12 volt DC signal is sent to the
amplifiers to turn them on. When the RSX-03
is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is
interrupted and the amplifiers turn off.
To use the remote turn on feature, connect
one of the RSX-03’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to
the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier,
using a cable with mono 3.5 mm mini-plugs
on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears
at the “tip” connector.
EXT REM IN Jacks
One 3.5 mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN)
receives command codes from an industry-
standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.),
used when the IR signals from a hand held
remote control cannot reach the front panel
IR sensor.
The EXT REM IN jack is used with an out-
board IR receiver to duplicate the front panel
IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit
is installed in a cabinet and the front panel
sensor is blocked.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for
information on external receivers and the
proper wiring of 3.5 mm mini-plugs to fit the
EXT REM IN jack.
Computer I/O
The RSX-03 can be operated from a computer
with audio system control software from third-
party developers. This control is accomplished
by sending operating codes from the computer
via a hard-wired RS-232 serial connection. In
addition, the RSX-03 can be updated using
special software from Rotel.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the neces
-
sary network connections on the rear panel. It
accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs,
such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT
UTP Ethernet cabling.
For additional information on the connections,
cabling, software, and operating codes for
computer control or updating of the RSX-03,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
Making Connections
Turntable
See Figure 7
Connect the left and right analog outputs
from the turntable to the PHONO jacks (left
and right). Connect the ground wire from the
turntable to the ground screw on the back of
the RSX-03.
CD Player
See Figure 7
Connect the left and right analog outputs
from the CD player to the CD jacks (left
and right).
Optional: Connect the digital output of the
CD player to any of the Optical or Coax
digital inputs on the RSX-03, using the INPUT
SETUP screen to assign that digital input to
the CD source.
There are no video connections for a CD
Player.
DVD Player
See Figure 9
DVD connections can be made to the VIDEO
1, 2, 3, or 4 inputs.
Connect a video cable (Composite Video,
S-Video, and/or Component Video from the
output of the DVD player to the appropriate
VIDEO IN 1–4 input. If you intend to use
the progressive scan feature with an HDTV
monitor, you should use Component Video
connections.
Connect the digital output of the DVD player
to any one of the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL
IN digital inputs on the RSX-03. Use the
INPUT SETUP screen to assign that digital
input to the same video input source used
above. For example, if you use the Video 4
inputs above, assign the digital input to the
VIDEO 4 input.
If you want to record the audio signal from the
DVD player, connect the left and right analog
outputs from the DVD player to the left and
right AUDIO IN jacks corresponding to the
VIDEO IN input selected above.
Cable, Satellite, or HDTV Tuner
See Figure 5
TV tuner connections can be made to the
VIDEO 1, 2, 3, or 4 inputs. Connect a video
cable (Composite Video, S-Video, and/or
Component Video) from the output of the TV
tuner to the appropriate VIDEO IN 1–4 input.
For HDTV signals, you should use Component
Video connections.
Connect the left and right analog outputs from
the TV tuner to the left and right AUDIO IN
jacks corresponding to the VIDEO IN input
selected above.
Optional: Connect the digital output of the
TV tuner to any one of the OPTICAL IN or
COAXIAL IN digital inputs on the RSX-03.
Use the INPUT SETUP screen to assign that
digital input to the same video input source
