RSX-1065Surround Sound Receiver 16

SUR+ Button

The SUR+ button on the remote selects the sur- round modes described in the previous sec- tion. Each time you press the button, the sur- round mode cycles to the next setting (Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo, Music 1 – 4, 5CH Stereo, 7CH Stereo, and Stereo) as indicated by the front-panel display and an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY indicator. Repeatedly press the but- ton until you reach the desired setting.

NOTE: These surround modes may not be avail- able for all source material. Many types of digital sources automatically trigger a spe- cific type of surround decoding, which can- not be overridden.

Speaker Level Adjustment

Selection Buttons

UP/DOWN Buttons

The levels of all channels should be calibrated using test tones with an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu during the initial setup of the RSX-1065. You can also make a temporary change in the relative volume of the center, rear, or sub- woofer channels using buttons on the remote control:

1.Press one of the selection buttons on the remote to select a channel (or pair of chan- nels) for adjustment. Press the C button to adjust the CENTER channel. Press the S button to adjust the SUBWOOFER channel. Press the R button to adjust the rear SURROUND or CENTER BACK channels (each press of the R button toggles between the SURROUND channels and the CENTER BACK channels). The selected speaker and its current setting appear briefly in the display.

2.Use the UP or DOWN buttons on the remote to adjust the output level of the se- lected channel(s).

3.Repeat the procedure for each channel.

If no level adjustment is made for 5 seconds after pressing one of the selection buttons, the levels revert to the default calibrated settings.

NOTE: This adjustment is temporary. Selecting

adifferent input or turning the unit off and one will cause the settings to revert to the default levels.

NOTE: The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY calibration permits independent adjustment of each sur- round channel. The adjustment procedure de- scribed here only allows changing the relative volume of all surround channels in unison.

DYNAMIC RANGE Button DWN Button

Digital sources are capable of wide dynamic range (the difference between the softest and loudest sounds). In some cases, this may tax amplifiers and/or speakers. In other cases, you may want to reduce the dynamic range when listening at low volume levels. Pressing the front-panel DYNAMIC RANGE button (or the DWN button on the remote) steps through the three dynamic range settings:

•MAX (no compression/full dynamic range)

•MID (moderate compression)

•MIN (full compression/minimum dynamic range)

A “D. RANGE” indicator in the front-panel dis- play lights when the dynamic range is not set to the MAX setting. The new dynamic range setting appears briefly in the alphanumeric display when the setting is changed.

NOTE: The DYNAMIC RANGE feature is only available in Dolby Digital mode. It is inactive at all other times.

Tuner Controls

The RSX-1065 features a digital synthesized AM/FM tuner with RDS capability and 30 station presets. The unit offers a wide range of tuning options. Here is an overview of the tuning options (more detailed information is provided in subsequent sections of this manual):

•Manual frequency tuning tunes up or down to the next station frequency (when in frequency tuning mode). Press and re- lease a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) to tune.

•Direct frequency tuning lets you en- ter the desired station frequency digits. Press the DIRECT button and enter the digits us- ing the NUMERIC buttons.

•Automatic frequency search tuning searches up or down to find the next re- ceivable broadcast signal. Press and hold a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) for at least one second to search up or down.

•Station preset tuning lets you directly enter the number of a memorized station preset. Enter the number of the memorized preset using the NUMERIC buttons.

•Preset search tuning jumps up/down to the next memorized station preset. When in PRESET mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote) to select the next station preset. Press the PRESET button on the remote to toggle between preset and frequency tuning modes.

•RDS (Europe) or RBDS (USA) tuning provides a range of special tuning and search features based on data codes en- coded with the broadcast signal. See the RDS section of this manual for detailed information.

NOTE: The RSX-1065 comes preconfigured for tuning in the market where you purchased it (N. America or Europe). To change this default setting, see the information on the DEFAULT SETUP on-screen menu later in this manual.
