Multi Input Setup

GROUP DELAY: Also known as “lip-sync” delay, this setting delays the audio signal for an input by the speciﬁed amount to match the video input. This feature can be useful when the video signal is delayed more than the audio signal as sometimes happens with upconverted digital TV processors or when trying to match a radio broadcast with the video from a sports event.

The range of available settings is from 0ms to 500ms, in 5ms increments. The setting is individually stored for each input and is the default group delay each time that input is selected. The setting can be temporarily over- ridden from the front panel or the remote.

OPTIONS: This selection is only visible when Pro Logic II or Neo:6 surround mode is se- lected. Highlight this line and press ENTER to go to submenus with additional options for these surround modes. See below.

To return to the MAIN menu from the INPUT SETUP menu (except when Dolby Pro Log- ic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected in the SURR MODE ﬁeld), press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote to cancel the menu display and return to nor- mal operation.

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-1057’s digital processing. The INPUT, CINEMA EQ, and DEFAULT MODE options are not available since these are all digitally implemented features.

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, pro- vides an alternative bass management con- ﬁguration. 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, bypassing all of the digital processing. There are no crossovers and no bass management; therefore, whatever signal goes into the sub- woofer channel will be sent to the subwoofer preamp output.

This conﬁguration may not be ideal for mul- tichannel systems conﬁgured with high-pass speakers, redirecting bass to a powered subwoofer. An option, called LFE REDIRECT, sends the seven main channels directly to the outputs 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 cross- over 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 ana- log bypass conﬁguration. Use the LFE REDI- RECT on setting to derive the mono summed subwoofer output.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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 chan- nels from 2-channel source material.

The ﬁrst line of the Dolby Pro Logic IIx sub- menu selects CINEMA, MUSIC, GAME, or PRO LOGIC modes for matrix decoding. Use the +/– buttons on the remote to select a mode.

Select CINEMA to optimize for Dolby Sur- round encoded movie soundtracks includ- ing increased surround separation and full- bandwidth surround channel frequency re- sponse.

English

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 param- eter as follows:

•PANORAMA: The Panorama option ex- tends 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 sound- ﬁeld towards the front or towards the rear. There are seven incremental settings from 0 to 6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundﬁeld towards 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 op- tion allows you to spread the signal in- tended for the center speaker to the left and right front speakers, widening the perceived soundﬁeld. There are eight in- cremental 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 between the two extremes.

Select GAME to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded video games.

Select PRO LOGIC for original Dolby Pro Logic decoding. Typically, Pro Logic II (Cin- ema or Music modes) will provide better sur- round performance, even with older source material. Original Pro Logic mode provides

5.1channel surround sound, even on 6.1/7.1 channel systems.

When you have completed all the desired ad- justments, 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).
