[. . . ] In many cases, the RSP-1068 will also recognize a digital signal with Dolby Surround encoding (such as the default soundtrack on many DVDs) and activate Dolby® Pro Logic II® decoding. 2Ch/5Ch/7Ch Stereo Formats The RSP-1068 also provides four modes that disable all surround processing and deliver stereo signals to amplifiers and speakers. There are three options: 2CH Stereo: Turns off the center channel and all surround channels in the system and delivers a conventional 2-channel signal to the front speakers. If the system is configured to route bass signals from the front speakers to the subwoofer, this capability remains in effect. Analog Bypass: For 2-channel analog inputs, there is a special stereo mode that bypasses ALL of the RSP-1068's digital processing. The two front speakers receive pure analog stereo full-range signals with no subwoofer crossover, no delay, no level adjustments, and no contour adjustment. The left channel signal is sent, unchanged, to the front left and surround left speakers. The right channel is sent 27 English A digital signal coming into the RSP-1068 will be recognized and properly decoded. However, on a DVD with multiple soundtracks, you must tell the DVD player which one to send to the RSP-1068. For example, you may need to use the DVD's menu system to select the Dolby Digital 5. 1 or DTS 5. 1 soundtrack rather than the default Dolby Digital 2. 0 Dolby Surround soundtrack. NOTE: · Dolby 3-channel stereo (left/right/center) of 2-channel recordings. · One of four MUSIC modes for DSP concert hall simulation from 2-channel recordings. · Dolby Pro Logic II cinema or music mode matrix decoding of 2-channel recordings. · DTS Neo:6 cinema or music mode matrix decoding of 2-channel recordings. · Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding of Dolby Digital 5. 1 channel recordings or Dolby Digital Surround EX discs that do not trigger automatic decoding. · On a 5. 1 system. Press the SUR+ button on the remote, then press the +/­ buttons to change between DD 5. 1 channel or DD 2. 0 channel downmix playback. Press the SUR+ button on the remote, then use the +/­ buttons to step through five optons: DD 2. 0 channel downmix, DD 5. 1 channel, DD Surround EX center back processing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Music center back processing or DD with Rotel XS center back processing. You should typically select Surround EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard 5. 1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel XS processing will provide a more diffuse surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decoding and will probably be the better 6. 1 channel options for nonSurround EX discs. Selecting DD 5. 1 forces the center back channel processing off for conventional 5. 1 channel playback. You can also repeatedly press the DOLBY PLII/ 3ST button on the front panel until the desired center back channel option is selected. Press the SUR+ button on the remote, then use the +/­ buttons to step through six optons: DD 2. 0 channel downmix, DD 5. 1 channel, DD Surround EX center back processing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Music center back processing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema back channel processing, or DD with Rotel XS center back processing. You should typically select Surround EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard 5. 1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel XS processing will provide a more diffuse surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decoding and may be the better 7. 1 channel options for non-Surround EX discs.
