Tone Controls

The front-panel BASS and TREBLE controls increase or decrease the audio signal’s low and high frequency content respectively and allow you to tailor the sound to your own preferences. Rotate clockwise to increase the bass or treble and counterclockwise to reduce. The front-panel display and ON-SCREEN DISPLAY show tone control settings as you adjust them.

Bass an treble adjustments can also be made from the remote control:

1.Press the SHIFT button to select BASS or TREBLE mode, pressing it again to toggle between the two.

2.Press the UP/DOWN buttons to ad- just the bass or treble.

FILTER Button

The FILTER button (remote only) activates or deactivates 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.

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

MENU Button

The MENU button is used to access the ON- SCREEN DISPLAY system used in configuring the RSP-1066. Push the MENU button on the remote to turn on the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu system. If the menu system is already visible, push this button to cancel the display.

The front panel FL display can be turned off by pressing and holding the MENU button on the remote for three seconds. Briefly press the MENU button again to turn the display back on. The display also turns back on whenever the POWER button on the front-panel or re- mote is pressed.

ENTER Button

The ENTER button is used to confirm and memorize various settings in the setup and operation of the RSP-1066. Its use is described in detail in the relevant sections.

Input Controls

Input Source Buttons

The RSP-1066 can be used with up to eight source components. Press any of the eight front- panel buttons to select an audio or video in- put source (TUNER, CD, VCR, etc.) for listen- ing. You will hear this source and, if you have selected a video source, see its picture on your TV monitor.

The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY on the TV will show the name of the current listening source selection. The labels for VIDEO sources can be customized to match your components.

All of the inputs (the five video inputs, the CD input, the TUNER input, and the TAPE input) can accept either analog signals or digital sig- nals from one of the five assignable digital inputs. When a digital input is assigned dur- ing system configuration, the RSP-1066 checks for the presence of a digital signal at that in- put. If a digital signal is present when the source is selected, it is automatically activated and the proper surround mode enabled. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs for that source are activated. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for digital source in- puts such as DVD players. When an ANALOG input is assigned, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may be avail- able at the digital input.

By default, the source input buttons are fac- tory configured to select the following inputs:

CD:	Analog input
Tuner:	Analog input
Tape:	Analog input
Video 1:	Digital Coaxial 1
Video 2:	Digital Coaxial 2
Video 3:	Digital Coaxial 3
Video 4:	Digital Optical 1
Video 5:	Digital Optical 2

NOTE: See the INPUT MENU topic in the On- Screen Display/Configuration section of this manual for details about configuring inputs.

The input source buttons can also be used with the REC button (described in the next sec- tion) to select an analog input source signal to be available at the outputs for recording. Additionally, the input source buttons can be used with the ZONE button to select an analog input source for ZONE 2.

REC Button

ZONE Button

The RSP-1066 can record from any analog source to a VCR or other recorder connected to the VIDEO 1, 2 or 3 outputs or the TAPE outputs, even while you are listening to a dif- ferent input source. To select an input source for recording, press the REC button on the front- panel (or the equivalent ZONE button on the remote). Then, press one of the INPUT SOURCE buttons within 5 seconds to select the signal you wish to record. After making your selec- tion (or if more than five seconds passes), the input source buttons return to their normal function, selecting a listening source.

Remember, this selection is independent of the listening source. While recording, you may still select a different source for listening. The record selection appears in the display to the right of the listening selection.

NOTE: The RECORD function requires analog signals. If you use a digital connection from a CD player or DVD for listening, you should also connect an analog signal for recording.

MULTI Input

EXT IN

The RSP-1066 can accept 6.1 channel discrete analog signals from an outboard digital pro- cessor, thus allowing compatibility with future surround sound formats.

Press the MULTI INPUT button (or the EXT IN button on the remote) to override any other audio input (both analog and digital) and select the audio signal from an external digital adaptor.

NOTE: Temporary adjustments in the levels for all channels of the MULTI Input can be made with the remote control. See the Speaker Level Adjustment instructions in the following Sur- round Sound Controls section. In addition, the subwoofer default level for the MULTI Input can be set using the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system.

This input only changes the audio signal; the video signal from the currently selected input remains in use. When activated, the RSP-1066’s digital processing is bypassed. An indicator appears in the front-panel display.

NOTE: When the MULTI CH input is selected, the CB output is available only at the CB1 PREOUT connector. No signal is available at the CB2 PREOUT connector.
