On the RSP-1098’s front panel, you’ll nd an integral LCD color
monitor anked by just a power switch, two knobs, and six miniature
pushbuttons. These elements let even technophobes enjoy the
RSP-1098’s exceptional performance, yet allow more sophisticated
users a level of control, system customization, and convenience.
The RSP-1098 contains a power supply built around Rotel-made
dual toroidal transformers and special low-ESR storage capacitors
for a rock-solid source of operating current and superb isolation
between digital and analog sections. The RSP-1098 uses modular
construction borrowed from the computer industry which provides
performance free of the crosstalk and noise inevitable with more
crowded designs.
We’ve included eight assignable digital audio inputs (ve
coaxial and three optical) in addition to eight A/V analog
inputs, each with composite and S-video capability. Outputs
include eight main audio outputs, four digital audio (two
coaxial, two optical), one tape out, zone 2 out( with video), and
three A/V outputs all with composite and S-video connections.
The world of high denition video won’t challenge the RSP-
1098’s four component video inputs, signal paths, and
switching ICs. In addition, composite and S-video input signals
can be processed through a transcoder circuit to output
all Component Video signals. The result is superb system
exibilty and outstanding performance.
