The RSP-985 accepts both analog and digital signals. The INPUT SETUP menu allows you to configure each input:

INPUT: Select the input you wish to setup by highlighting this line and stepping through the available choices with the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons. You will need to configure each input, repeat- ing the following configuration sequence several times, each time selecting a different input.

INPUT DOMAIN: Select ANALOG or DIGITAL or AUTO depending on the type of signal connection you have made by stepping through the available choices with the VOLUME DOWN/UP but- tons. Using a DIGITAL signal, if available, avoids a D/A conversion in the source component and A/D conversion in the RSP-985. Note that even when using a digital input, you still should make analog connections from the source. These will be used for recording, re- gardless of the setting on this menu. Selecting AUTO for the input will check for the presence of a DIGITAL signal and automatically revert to an ANALOG input if no DIGITAL signal is present. VOLUME OFFSET: This menu item adjusts the volume of each source component so that the volume level remains relatively constant when switching between sources and so that the signal does not overload the RSP-985. Typically, you determine which source has the lowest level and then match the others to that one. Adjust the level using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons. Note that you are matching the perceived level you hear from that source, not the dB readout that appears on-screen.

Note: It is essential not to set the source input levels so high that the signal overloads the RSP-985’s input circuitry. Adjust to match the quietest source, not the loudest.

ANALOG LEVEL: The maximum input level for analog sources is 2V RMS. It is possible that a source with a very high output level, such as some CD players, may overdrive the input. This will be in- dicated with the word CLIP appearing on the screen. Should this occur, change the ANALOG LEVEL menu setting for that source to 4V which will reduce its input level by 6dB.

THX: This setting determines which additional surround circuitry should be activated for the current input. Choices are THX ON, RE-EQ (activated Re-EQ only), and THX OFF.

DEFAULT: This setting specifies the default surround mode for each input. Choices are 2 CH STEREO, MONO, MUSIC 1-4, and PRO-LOGIC. DOLBY DIGITAL are DTS are automatically selected when an appropriate signal is present.

Once you have completed the settings for all of your input sources, return to the MAIN MENU by pressing the BACK button.

This menu, which is reached from the MAIN MENU, provides ac- cess to a wide range of system-wide configuration options.

RECORDING: Select a source for the VIDEO 2, 3, and 4 record out- puts by moving the highlight to this line and then stepping through the six available input choices using the VOLUME DOWN/UP but- tons.

ZONE 2 IN: Select a source for Zone 2 by moving the highlight to this line and then stepping through the six available input choices using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons.

ZONE 2 VOLUME: Set the volume level for Zone 2 by moving the highlight to this line and then adjust the volume up or down using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons.

POWER-ON MODE: This setting determines how the RSP-985 powers up when connected to an AC outlet. In the default STANDBY mode, the unit goes into a standby status when AC is applied and must be fully activated from the front-panel or remote control. In the DIRECT mode, the unit is fully active whenever it is connected to AC. This may be desirable in installations where the RSP-985 is plugged into a switched outlet.

ONE-LINE DISPLAY: This option determines whether a one-line in- formation display appears on the TV screen for 5 seconds every time an RSP-985 setting is changed. Some users prefer to turn it off so that it never appears. Change the setting by highlighting this menu line and using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons to change from ON to OFF or vice versa.

ZONE 2 AUTO-MUTE

Determines whether Zone 2 is automatically muted when the RSP-985 is activated. If auto-mute is YES, the volume of Zone 2 will be muted when the system is turned on. If auto-mute is NO, the volume in Zone 2 will return to its last previous setting when the system is turned on.

FACTORY DEFAULTS: Highlight this option and press the ENTER button on the remote control to go to the FACTORY DEFAULT menu which allows you to return ALL system settings to the factory de- fault settings.

Press the BACK button to return to the MAIN menu.
