    headphones & 1056

    I bought a pair of sennheisser wireless headphones that have rca connections comming out of the wireless base unit. Do I just hook these into the tape out in the back of the 1056?
    Thanks for your help,

    Yup, use your REC OUT selection to choose what source you want on the tape out. You can even have a different source then your main listening room.

    Also remember, for you to get analog out of the tape loop, you have to have analog in for that source. So if your CD/DVD/DSS is only connected with a digital cable, you need to run additional analog RCA's.

      Thanks Kevin!
      One more question. My DVD player is also a DVD Audio player which is hooked up to the multi inputs. Would I be able to listen to this through the headphones or will it not work?

        Unless your player has the ability to down-mix the 5.1 signal into two channels and has additional stereo only outputs, then no.

        Another user recently had the same headphone question and found out his DVD player has the ability to down-mix the SACD's he had. Check your player's manual and see what options you have.

            A lot/most of DVD-A's/SACD's also have 2ch tracks that you could select and listen to without downmixing

              Okay, the headphones are charged so I went and hooked them into the tape out connections in the back. To listen to cd I hit "rec" button on the front panel and then cd. The sound comes into the headphones but still plays through speakers unless I hit mute which mutes the speakers but not the headphones. I am using the volume on the headphones to control the volume which is fine. Does this sound right or am I missing something - should I have to hit mute?

                Yup, if you have CD selected in the main room. The 1056 doesn't have a clue you have headphones on. You could select a different (unused) source so that nothing is playing in the main room.

                Or you could hook it up to the Zone2 outputs. Set ZONE2 volume to FIXED. Select it the same way (ZONE-SOURCE). That way you could even have the main room off and still have the signal playing.

                  by WhiteChocolate
                  I just got a Rotel RSX-1056 and I really like the unit because of the fact that you may send different audio outputs from different audio inputs.

                  I have a 400 cd-dvd Changer with S-video and Optical Audio
                  Also a Direct TV DVR with S-video and Optical Audio

                  RSX-1056: 7.1 analog input for Blu-Ray
                  by fvoelling
                  Hi,

                  I've been running a 1056 with a 7.1 speaker setup for a couple of years now, and started watching Blu-Ray movies from a PS3 80GB model last year. The PS3 is connected to the 1056 with digital coax and component.

                  Since my current setup is limited to 5.1 and 6.1, both...

                  by shadow
                  Does the 1056 allow you to increase the sub output for the five channel analog inputs like the Denon does? I have a Denon 2900 dvd player and even with the adjustments to output set out in the Denon site, I cannot get enough sub output for DVD-A/SACD discs. This is important for me. I do not own...

                  by Vicente
                  I just bought a Musical Fidelity X-Can V3 and Senheisser HD650 headphones that seems to be a winner pair, but I have some problems to find the correct conections.

                  Following the manual I plugged the MFX-Can (line in) to the Tape-Out outputs of the RDX-1056.

                  As it says in...

                  by Bluespower
                  I can't believe I'm having trouble with this and I'm hoping someone can chime in. I have a set of Sony wireless headphones that have been connected to my TV for years and work fine. I just cabled up my 1068 with an analog feed from my PC into the Video 3 Audio Inputs. I'm getting sound to my speakers,...
