MAIN MENU

The SPEAKER SETUP menu is used to con- figure the RSX-1057 for use with your specif- ic loudspeakers and to determine the bass management configuration as described in the previous overview. The menu is accessed from the MAIN menu.

The following speaker options are avail- able:

FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): Use the LARGE setting to have the front speakers play low bass (full-range). Use the SMALL setting to redirect normal bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer (high-pass filtered).

CENTER SPEAKER(S) (large/small/ none): Use the LARGE position (not avail- able with SMALL front speakers) to have the center speaker play low bass (full-range). Use the SMALL position if your center chan- nel speaker has limited low frequency capa- bility, or if you prefer that the bass be sent to the subwoofer (high-pass). Select the NONE setting if your system does not have a center channel speaker (the surround modes will au- tomatically divide all center channel informa- tion 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 speakers, select the NONE setting (surround channels are added to the front speakers so none of the recording is lost).

CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/ large2/small1/small2/none): Some sys- tems 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 center back speakers have limited bass ca- pability 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 eXtended surround, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6 or other decoders will provide center back signals for any sur- round 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-1057 provides the option of setting the speaker configura- tion independently for each of four surround modes. Select the ADVANCED line on the menu and press ENTER to go to the AD- VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu described in the following section.

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 settings. To return to the MAIN menu, press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD but- ton on the remote to cancel the display and return to normal operation.

SPEAKER SETUP MENU

In most cases, the standard speaker config- uration described above is a global setting and can be used for all surround modes. However, the RSX-1057 provides the capa- bility to customize these settings for four dif- ferent 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 Stereo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with or without a subwoofer. In addition, the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to select a customized high-pass crossover frequency for the front, center, sur- round, 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/ center back/subwoofer): Select the set of speakers to be configured with cus- tom settings.

CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/ 100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi- cally, the RSX-1057 uses a single master set- ting for the high-pass and low-pass cross- over 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 access 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 different crossover point. For example, if your master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want your front speakers to crossover to the subwoofer at 60 Hz, you
