ROTEL 7.1 Surround Sound Receiver RSX-1067 - Manual (Page 34)

34 RSX-1067 Surround Sound Receiver
(the surround modes will automatically divide
all center channel information equally between
the two front speakers, creating a phantom
center channel).
SURROUND SPEAKERS (large/small/
none): Select the LARGE setting (not avail-
able with SMALL front speakers) to have the
surround speakers play low bass (full-range).
If your rear speakers have limited bass capa-
bility or if you would prefer that the bass go
to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (high-
pass). If your system has no rear surround speak-
ers, select the NONE setting (surround chan-
nels are added to the front speakers so none
of the recording is lost).
CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/
large2/small1/small2/none): Some
systems have one or two additional center back
surround speakers. Select the LARGE settings
(not available with SMALL front speakers) to
have your center back speaker(s) play low bass.
Use LARGE 1 if you have one center back
speaker (6.1) or LARGE 2 (7.1) if you have
two center back speakers (7.1). If your cen-
ter back speakers have limited bass capabil-
ity or if you would prefer that the bass go to
a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (SMALL1
for one speaker, SMALL2 for two speakers).
If your system has no center back speakers,
select the NONE setting. With center back
speakers, the Rotel XS eXtra surround, Dolby
Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS
Neo:6 or other decoders will provide center
back signals for any surround mode.
SUBWOOFER (yes/no/max): The YES set-
ting is the standard setting if your system has
a subwoofer. If your system does not have a
subwoofer, select NO. Select the MAX setting
for maximum bass output with normal bass
being duplicated by both the subwoofer and
any LARGE speakers in the system.
ADVANCED: Speaker configuration is gener-
ally a global setting for all surround modes
and need only be done once. However, for
special circumstances, the RSX-1067 provides
the option of setting the speaker configuration
independently for each of four surround modes.
Select the ADVANCED line on the menu and
press ENTER to go to the ADVANCED SPEAKER
SETUP menu described in the following sec-
tion.
To change a setting on the SPEAKER SETUP
menu, place the highlight on the desired line
using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the +/
– buttons to toggle through the available set-
tings. To return to the MAIN menu, press the
ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button
on the remote to cancel the display and re-
turn to normal operation.

SPEAKER SETUP MENU
In most cases, the standard speaker configu-
ration described above is a global setting and
can be used for all surround modes. However,
the RSX-1067 provides the capability to cus-
tomize these settings for four different surround
modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and Music. For
example, you could set up the Dolby and DTS
modes for 5.1 channel sound, while the Ste-
reo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with
or without a subwoofer. In addition, the AD-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to se-
lect a customized high-pass crossover frequency
for the front, center, surround, and surround
back speakers.
NOTE
: In most systems, the default settings on
this menu will provide the most predictable
results and most users will not need to change
any settings. You should fully understand bass
management and have a specific reason for
needing a custom configuration before chang-
ing these settings. Otherwise, skip to the fol-
lowing topic, SUBWOOFER SETUP.
The available settings on the ADVANCED
SPEAKER SETUP menu are as follows:
SPEAKER (front/center/surround/cen-
ter back/subwoofer): Select the set of
speakers to be configured with custom settings.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi-
cally, the RSX-1067 uses a single master set-
ting for the high-pass and low-pass crossover
point between all SMALL speakers and the
subwoofer. This master crossover point is set
on the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu described
in the following section. When you first ac-
cess the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu,
the current master crossover point will be shown
on this line. Change the value of this line only
if you want the current speaker to have a dif-
ferent crossover point. For example, if your
master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want
your front speakers to crossover to the sub-
woofer at 60 Hz, you would select 60Hz for
the front speakers on this line. This setting ONLY
affects redirected bass and does not affect the
LFE channel in any way. The OFF setting (avail-
able only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range
signal to your subwoofer so that you can use
its built-in low-pass filter.
NOTE : When a speaker is set to LARGE on
the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this MENU,
the crossover setting is not available since,
by definition, a LARGE speaker plays full-
range with no bass redirection to the sub-
woofer and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF
setting for the subwoofer crossover is not avail-
able for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means
that the speaker will redirect its bass below a
given crossover point to the subwoofer. In
addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not avail-
able for the MULTI INPUT.
DOLBY (large/small/none): Sets the
current speaker (shown in the first line) to
LARGE, SMALL, or NONE, overriding the
master setting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu.
This setting will ONLY take effect with Dolby
Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.
DTS (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with DTS and DTS
Neo:6 decoding.
STEREO/MPEG (large/small/none): The
same options described for Dolby above,
except these settings ONLY take effect in STE-
REO surround mode.
MUSIC (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with any of the DSP
MUSIC surround modes.
NOTE : When the front speakers are set to use
the master crossover frequency on the AD-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the surround
mode specific “large/small/none” settings
are not available for the other speakers. These
speakers will use the setting determined in
the basic SPEAKER SETUP menu.
