When hooking up a progressive scan DVD player, the RSP-1066, and a digital tevevision with composite video: Do you just do composite video from the DVD, to the 1066, then composite to the TV? What are you all doing for this onfiguration? Thanks in advance

Composite Video Connection:
Single RCA composite video cable to V1...V5 Composite In of RSP-1066
Single RCA coaxial or single fiberoptic toslinc cable to Digital In 1..3 (coaxial) or digital in 1 or 2 (toslink)of RSP-1066 for sound
Single RCA composite video cable from Monitor Out of RSP-1066 to your monitor
Component Video Connection:
3 RCA (Cr,Cb,Y) cable to Component Video In 1 or 2
Single RCA coaxial or single fiberoptic toslinc cable to Digital In 1..3 (coaxial) or digital in 1 or 2 (toslink)of RSP-1066 for sound
3 RCA (Cr,Cb,Y) cable from Component Video Monitor Out to your monitor
Also instead of Digital audio connection, you can use Multi Input (5.1 or 6 cables) connection between your DVD and RSP-1066 if your DVD has 5.1 analog output. There is the issue of bass doubling with this connection which you can read about in this forum. I would just go with digital connection for audio since it will give you more freedom in setup.
Finally some people belive that it is better to connect the DVD directly to you TV monitor without going through the Pre-Pro. This is due to the fact that some Pre-Pros would degrade the video signal and introduce noise.
I hope this helped,

I've just got to point out here that COMPOSITE cable will give you one of the lowest quality pictures available to you. If at all possible, you definitely want to connect via the next step up at least, which is S-video, using the same connections. Even better is to use the COMPONENT connections (note that it's the three cable version different than the single composite cable--typically misunderstood) to give even better picture quality.

Oh, and I re-read your post and saw that you were talking about a progressive scan DVD player and a digital TV. In that case, you DEFINITELY want to use your higher-end connections, and of course I recommend component video. Come to think of it, I don't even know if composite will carry a progressive scan image. (entering High Definition TV range) But if you're going for a better image, then why not use your better connectors too?

You can't transmit a progressive signal over a single composite video connection. It doesn't transmit enough lines of resolution. Only component will carry HDTV. I am pretty sure, that's the case with progressive scan as well, not even S-video will carry it.

Actually, I looked it up, Lex, and I think you're right. S-video and composite video seem to be capped at 30MHz bandwidth from what I've seen on current processors, and ONLY component video is going above that, up to 200-300 MHz.

Why do the manufactures still bother putting all those unused composite and S-video connectors on the back of the receivers and preamps? I can't remember when I had to use anything less than component.
My current setup only uses digital video: cable box, dvd player and PC.

Hi guys,
I just replaced my Denon 3802 with a Rotel 1066 yesterday, hooked up to a Rotel 1075 amp. I haven't had much of a chance to listen to it yet but so far it sounds awesome.
I have a problem with my video connections though. I had no problems with the Denon 3802 so... -
I'm getting my 1098 tomorrow, but downloaded the manual from Rotel's website. I have a question on the conversion from composite or SVideo to Component. I hope one of you can help me!
My ideal setup is:
VIDEO 1: S-VHS player (with S-video cable)
VIDEO 2: Hi-8 player (with... -
I posted this over at Home Theater Forum, but figured this was a better place. Sorry for the redundancy if any of you follow both forums!
I just hooked up my new 1098 over the weekend. I haven't had any time yet to do any calibration and/or tweaking. I can't really comment on the 1098... -
Hey all,
Have you ever ordered something on line and get something somewhat different than ordered when delivered?. I want to use my headphones via my headphone amp to listen to BD and DVD movies and since my Rotel does not pass digital signals to it's analog out's, I was forced to buy...
