Selecting Inputs

Input Buttons

You can select any of nine source inputs for listening and/or watching: CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VIDEO 5, or MULTI INPUT.

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

NOTE: When the TUNER input source button is pressed, the frequency of the currently tuned station is displayed. Pressing the button again toggles the display to show the word TUNER instead of the frequency display.

All of the source inputs can be customized using the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY configuration menus to accept either analog signals or digital sig- nals from one of the five assignable digital inputs. When a digital input is assigned, the

RSX-1056 checks for the presence of a digi- tal signal at that input. If a digital signal is present when the source is selected, it is automatically activated and the proper surround mode en- abled. If no digital signal is present, the ana- log inputs for that source are selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for digital source inputs such as DVD players. When an ANALOG input is assigned, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may be available at the digital input.

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

CD:	Analog input
Tuner:	Analog (built-in)
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

Each source input should be configured us- ing the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu system to use the desired input type (analog or digital auto-sensing). See the INPUT MENU section for configuration instructions.

NOTE: In addition to selecting analog or digital signals, the configuration options also permit custom labeling and selection of a default sur- round mode for each of the eight inputs.

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

Selecting a Source Input from the Front Panel

To select a source for LISTENING: Press one of the eight INPUT buttons or the MULTI INPUT button.

To select a source for RECORDING: Press the REC button and then press one of the eight INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.

To select a source for Zone 2: Press the ZONE button and then press one of the IN- PUT buttons within 10 seconds.

NOTE: See the section on Zone 2 operations for details of selecting a source for the re- mote zone.

Selecting a Source from the Remote

To select a source for LISTENING in the

main room: press and hold one of the DE- VICE/INPUT buttons for more than one sec- ond. To select the MULTI INPUT, press and hold the EXT button.

NOTE: A short press of a DEVICE/INPUT but- ton changes the remote control device only, but does not change the source input.

To select a source for RECORDING: Press the REC button. Then, press and hold one of the DEVICE/INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.

Alternatively, you can press the REC button and then use the +/– buttons to scroll through the available source options. Select any input (CD, TUNER, TAPE, or VIDEO 1–5). Selecting the SOURCE option links the recording source to the input selected for main room listening. Whatever input is selected for listening is also sent to the record outputs.

To select a source for Zone 2: Press the ZONE button. Then, press and hold one of the DEVICE/INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.

Alternatively, you can press the ZONE button and then use the +/– buttons to scroll through the available source options. Select any input (CD, TUNER, TAPE, or VIDEO 1–5). Select- ing the SOURCE option links the Zone 2 source to the input selected for main room listening. Whatever input is selected for the main room is also sent to the Zone 2 outputs.

Selecting Digital Inputs

A default digital audio input can be specified for each source input using the Input Setup menu. However, you can override the default digital input for the currently selected source by pressing the D-SLT button on the remote. Each press of the button steps to the next digital input in order: OPTICAL 1, OPTICAL 2, CO- AXIAL 1, COAXIAL2, COAXIAL 3. The actual choices you see will be limited to those inputs with an active digital signal connected, so you may not see all of the inputs listed.
