RSX-1067Surround Sound Receiver

Cinema EQ

The EQ button (remote only) activates or de- activates a special CINEMA EQ setting. This equalization may be desirable for playback of movie source material to compensate for the acoustic differences between a commer- cial cinema and a home theater environment by reducing the high-frequency content.

The EQ setting is independent for each source input. Using the button only changes the set- ting for the currently active source input.

Tuner Controls

The RSX-1067 features a digital synthesized AM/FM tuner with RDS capability and 30 station presets. The unit offers a wide range of tuning options. Here is an overview of the tuning options (more detailed information is provided in subsequent sections of this manual):

•Manual frequency tuning tunes up or down to the next station frequency (when in frequency tuning mode). Press and re- lease a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) to tune.

•Direct frequency tuning lets you en- ter the desired station frequency digits. Press the DIRECT button (or the FRQ DIRECT) but- ton on the remote) and enter the digits us- ing the NUMERIC buttons.

•Automatic frequency search tuning searches up or down to find the next re- ceivable broadcast signal. Press and hold a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) for at least one second to search up or down.

•Station preset tuning lets you directly enter the number of a memorized station preset. Enter the number of the memorized preset using the NUMERIC buttons.

•Preset tuning jumps up/down to the next memorized station preset. When in PRE- SET mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) to select the next station preset. Press the PRESET but- ton on the remote to select PRESET tuning mode. Press the TUNE button on the remote to select FREQUENCY tuning mode. Press the P-TUN button on the remote to toggle between preset and frequency tuning modes.

•Preset scan tuning automatically scans through the memorized station presets, playing each for 5 seconds. Press the SCAN button on the remote to begin preset scan- ning. Press the button again to stop the scanning and listen to the desired preset.

•RDS (Europe) or RBDS (USA) tuning provides a range of special tuning and search features based on data codes en- coded with the broadcast signal. See the RDS section of this manual for detailed information.

NOTE: The RSX-1067 comes configured for tun- ing in the market where you purchased it (N. America or Europe). To change this default set- ting, see the information on the DEFAULT SETUP on-screen menu later in this manual.

BAND Buttons

Press the BAND button to toggle between AM and FM reception. An indicator in the front- panel display confirms your choice and the currently tuned station frequency is shown.

TUNING Buttons

The TUNING buttons (labeled CH UP/DOWN on the remote control) provide three different tuning functions, depending on the mode of operation.

In the normal FREQUENCY tuning

mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/ DOWN on the remote) and release to manu- ally jump to the next station frequency, regard- less of whether or not a station is broadcast- ing on that frequency. For auto frequency search tuning, press and hold the TUNING button for approximately one second. An AUTO indicator will appear in the front-panel display and the tuner will begin scanning up or down through the frequencies until the next available signal is detected. If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning.

NOTE: Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by pressing the TUNE button on the remote or toggle between FREQUENCY and PRESET modes by pressing the P-TUN button.

In the PRESET tuning mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the re- mote) and release to jump to the next memo- rized station preset.

NOTE: Select the PRESET tuning mode by press- ing the PRESET button on the remote or toggle between FREQUENCY and PRESET modes by pressing the P-TUN button. A PRESET indica- tor appears in the display when PRESET TUN- ING is activated.

In the RDS PTY search mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the re- mote) to select the desired program type from the scrolling list in the display. See the section on RDS tuning for more details.

NOTE: Several indicators in the front-panel dis- play assist tuning. A large display shows the tuned frequency. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal is received.

MEMORY Button

The MEMORY button is used with the NUMERIC buttons to store memorized station presets. See the next section for detailed instructions.

NUMERIC Buttons:

Station Presets

The RSX-1067 can store up to 30 station pre- sets for recall at any time using the NUMERIC buttons on the front panel. To memorize a sta- tion:

1.Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.

2.Press the MEMORY button on the front- panel. A MEMORY indicator will flash for five seconds in the front-panel display.

3.While the MEMORY indicator is flashing, press the number of the preset where you wish to store the station frequency. For example, to memorize the station as pre- set 3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset 15, press the 1 button followed by the 5 button.

4.A previously stored frequency is erased from memory when a new frequency is memo- rized for the same preset number.

To tune to a previously memorized station, just press the preset number on the NUMERIC buttons. For example, to tune to preset 3, press the 3 button. To tune to preset 15, press the 1 button and then press the 5 button.
