I've got a new 5 x 200w amp I want to use with my RSX-1057. I need to connect the amp to the pre-outs on the 1057 but I cannot figure out if I use just one or both of the outputs on the 1057, they are labeled as L & r. So front L and front R. The RCA inputs on the amp is just one per channel so I am confused about how to wire it. So there is 2 RCA outputs per channel on the 1057 and 1 RCA input per channel on the amp.

There is one set of inputs for a source device (like DVD player). As you look at the back panel, these are in the middle, a bit towards the top. To the right of it it says (vertically) 'multi inputs'. There are 8 RCA's in this grouping. These are NOT what you want. The PRE-OUTS are located to the right of these. There are 10 RCA's in the preout group, and it sits a little below the multi inputs. Teh preouts are just above the computer I/O port and to the left of the speaker binding posts.
In a typical 5.1 set up, you want the left (top row) and right (bootom row) mains (far left side), the center 1 RCA (top row, second from right), the rear channels, left is top row, second from left. The right rear is just underneath it. Your sub will hook into sub1, far right, top row.
Use good quality RCA cables and connect to the corresponding inputs on your amp. The connect your speaker cables.
Hope this helps. -
That does help but what I am still not clear on is that these RCA outlets you are referring to require 2 plugs (I would assume Left and Right) but on the amp there is only 1 RCA outlet so do I use y-Adapters?Originally posted by htsteveComment

windmiller,
There are no inputs or outputs that require 2 plugs. You want to connect one RCA to the front left pre-out. Then connect the other end to the left input on the amp. Then connect an RCA to the right front output on the 1057 and the right front input on the amp, and so on.
Here is a link to the owners manual for the 1057 (in case you don't have it).

You will use 1 RCA cable per channel. Use 1 cable to connect the front, Left output on the 1057 to the front, left input on the amp, and so on.
Are you perhaps looking at the multi input jacks on the 1057? They are just to the left of the outputs. Ignore the inputs.
To connect a 5 channel amp you will use 5 RCA cables.Main System

I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing an A52, and I wanted to ask a question, as I could not find the answer in the owner's manual. I wanted to see if I could have both RCA and XLR inputs connected on the A52. I know that there is a selector switch on the A52 as to what inputs to use, but will... -
I'm a home theatre dealer from Germany and have just received the new heart of my A/v demo system - the RSP-1098 - this Saturday.
Kudos to Geoff Costello for all the time, sweat and effort on behalf of the RSP-1098. Constructive proposals like his are extremely commendable!

Hi,
Can someone please help. If I connect both the rca and xlr inputs on the above amp at the same time how does the unit switch between the two if it recevies a signal from both as there is no switch?
Is this an unwise move? I am trying to fix my no ht bypass on my stereo... -
After having set up my new "toys" (Rotel RSX-1550 receiver, and B&W CM9 pair, and a Panasonic 50" Plasma) last week. I am wondering if there's a way to have the internal speakers of the Panaconic Plasma be the "Center" channel, and the CM9's be true Left and rights.

I was planning on using an RSX1057 as a processor with an RMB1077 hooked up to a pair of B&W 804s and a HTM3s. Orignally I thought I would biamp and biwire the L and R fronts using 4 channels of the RMB1077 while using the remaining 3 channels to drive the center and back surrounds.
