(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.
