LISTEN: Multi Input
VID INPUT:Video 1
INPUT LABEL:_______
12V TRIGGER:1
LFE REDIRECT:On
MAIN MENU
When the MULTI INPUT source is selected on
the INPUT SETUP menu, the available options
change to reflect the fact that these inputs are
direct analog inputs and bypass the RSX-1067’s
digital processing. The INPUT, CINEMA EQ,
and DEFAULT MODE options are not available
since these are all digitally implemented fea-
tures.
The VID INPUT, INPUT LABEL, and 12V TRIG-
GER options are still available and work as
described on the previous menu.
One additional option, LFE REDIRECT, provides
an alternative bass management configura-
tion. Typically, the eight channels of the MULTI
INPUT are configured as pure analog bypass
signals, going straight from the inputs to the
volume control and the preamp outputs, by-
passing all of the digital processing. There are
no crossovers and no bass management; there-
fore, whatever signal goes into the subwoofer
channel will be sent to the subwoofer preamp
output.
This configuration may not be ideal for multi-
channel systems configured with high-pass
speakers, redirecting bass to a powered sub-
woofer. An option, called LFE REDIRECT, sends
the seven main channels directly to the out-
puts as usual. In addition, it takes a duplicate
copy of these seven channels, combines them
into mono, and routes them through a 100
Hz analog low-pass crossover to the subwoofer
preamp output. This creates a summed mono
subwoofer signal, derived from the seven main
channels of the MULTI INPUT.
Use the LFE REDIRECT off for the pure analog
bypass configuration. Use the LFE REDIRECT
on setting to derive the mono summed sub-
woofer output.
Dolby Pro Logic II (x)
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(X)
MODE:Music
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
PANORAMA:Off
DIMENSION:3
CENTER WIDTH:0
INPUT SETUP MENU
When Dolby Pro Logic II (x) is selected as the
default surround mode on the INPUT SETUP
menu, there are additional settings and pa-
rameters to optimize the surround decoding
for music or movie soundtracks. Dolby Pro Logic
II uses matrix decoding algorithms to derive
a center channel and surround channels from
2-channel source material.
The first line of the Dolby Pro Logic II (x) sub-
menu selects CINEMA or MUSIC modes for
matrix decoding. Use the +/– buttons on the
remote to select a mode.
Select CINEMA to optimize for Dolby Surround
encoded movie soundtracks including in-
creased surround separation and full-bandwidth
surround channel frequency response.
Select MUSIC to optimize for musical record-
ings. When the MUSIC mode is selected, three
additional parameters will be available on the
OSD screen. Use the UP/DOWN buttons on
the remote to select a parameter. Use the +/
– buttons to change the selected parameter
as follows:
• PANORAMA: The Panorama option
extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for a dramatic “wrap-
around” effect. The options are OFF or ON.
• DIMENSION: The Dimension option al-
lows you to gradually adjust the soundfield
towards the front or towards the rear. There
are seven incremental settings from 0 to
6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundfield to-
wards the rear for maximum surround ef-
fect. A setting of 6 shifts the soundfield to
the front for minimum surround effect. The
default setting of 3 provides a “neutral”
balance between the two extremes.
• CENTER WIDTH: The Center Width option
allows you to spread the signal intended for
the center speaker to the left and right front
speakers, widening the perceived soundfield.
There are eight incremental settings from 0
to 7. With the default setting of 0, there is
no center width spreading and all of the center
channel information is sent to the center
speaker. The maximum setting of 7 shifts all
of the center channel signal to the left and
right speakers, essentially muting the center
speaker and maximizing the soundfield width.
Other settings provide incremental steps be-
tween the two extremes.
When you have completed all the desired
adjustments, highlight the INPUT SETUP MENU
line at the bottom of the screen and press the
ENTER button to return to the INPUT SETUP
menu (or just press the ENTER button).
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6
MODE:Cinema
INPUT SETUP MENU
When DTS Neo:6 is selected as the default
surround mode on the INPUT SETUP menu,
there are additional option settings and pa-
rameters available to optimize the surround
decoding for various types of recordings, music
or movie soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 uses ma-
trix decoding algorithms to derive a center
channel and surround channels from 2-chan-
nel source material.
In DTS Neo:6 surround mode, there will only
be one choice available on the sub-menu:
selecting CINEMA or MUSIC modes. Use the
+/– buttons on the remote to change the set-
tings.
• Select CINEMA to optimize the DTS Neo:6
decoding for movie soundtracks.
• Select MUSIC to optimize the DTS Neo:6
decoding for musical recordings.
When you have completed the setting, high-
light the INPUT SETUP MENU line at the bot-
tom of the screen and press the ENTER but-
ton to return to the INPUT SETUP menu (or just
press the ENTER button).
