Input Controls

Input Source Buttons

Press any of the eight front-panel buttons to select an audio or video input source (the built- in tuner, CD, VCR, etc.) for listening. You will hear this source and, if you have selected a video source, see its picture on your TV monitor.

REC Button

ZONE Button

The RSX-1065 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

MUTE Button

Push the MUTE button once to turn the sound off. An indication appears in the front-panel and on-screen displays. Press the button again to restore previous volume levels.

Tone Controls

BASS and TREBLE controls increase or decrease the audio signal’s low and high frequency content respectively. Rotate clockwise to increase out- put and counterclockwise to reduce. The front- panel display and ON-SCREEN DISPLAY show tone control settings as you adjust them.

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.

MENU Button

Push this 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. The display is turned back on when any button on the re- mote or the front-panel is pressed.

ENTER Button

The ENTER button is used to confirm and memorize various settings in the setup and operation of the RSX-1065. Its use is described in detail in the relevant sections.

The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY will show the name of the current lis- tening source selection. The labels for VIDEO sources can be customized to match your com- ponents.

All of the inputs (the five video inputs, the CD input, and the TAPE input) can accept either analog signals or digital signals from one of the five assignable digital inputs. When a digital input is assigned, the RSX-1065 checks for the presence of a digital signal at that input. 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 selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for digital source in- puts such as DVD players. When an ANA- LOG 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 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

Each source input button can be configured using the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu system to use a different input (analog or digital). See the INPUT MENU section for configuration in- structions.

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.

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 example, the built-in tuner) for listening. The record selec- tion 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 MULTI CH button (or the EXT IN button on the remote) overrides all other audio inputs (both analog and digital) and selects the au- dio signal from an external digital adaptor. This input only changes the audio signal; the video signal from the currently selected input remains in use. When activated, the RSX-1065’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 when the MULTI CH input is selected.
