Video OUT connections on RSP 1066

[aramb]

I have the Rotel 1066 processor and have a question regarding hooking it up.

According to the manual, the Component Inputs on the processor cannot be assigned, so I have connected Component 1 input to my DVD player and the Component 2 input to my HDTV cable box.

The manual also states that for recording onto a VCR, there are only three video outputs on the 1066. I have connected one VCR up to Video 3 Input/Output. Now the problem is that I also have an 8mm VCR and am getting a DVD recorder. In order to provide video input into these machines, can I use the Video 1 and 2 OUTPUTs on the 1066 for my additional VCRs even though the Video 1 and 2 INPUTS are being used for DVD and HDTV respectively?

Thanks.

I wouldn't think so but I I only have a VCR to contend with for recording video and it gets a direct feed from the DSS receiver (composite) so i by pass the pre amp all together as far as video outs go.

On my RSX972, i use the video 1-3 outputs as extra monitor outputs, and they output the signal from the source selected as rec source independently of what is connected on the video 1-3 inputs, so I would say yes, it should work fine. I would think the same goes for the video 1-3 audio outputs.

I don't think the RSP1066 is any different from the RSX972 in this matter. I just bought an RSX1055, but I haven't hooked it up yet, so I couldn't tell you for sure yet.

Just try, I don't think you can fry anything
