[. . . ] For stereo inputs such as CD and Tuner, you could select STEREO mode as the default for 2-channel playback or Dolby Pro Logic II music mode if you prefer to hear music sources in surround sound. Manually Selecting Surround Modes As described in the previous section, the combination of auto-detection of Dolby Digital and DTS recordings and setting default surround modes for each input during the setup of the RSX-1056 makes operation of surround modes totally automatic. For many users, this automatic surround mode selection will meet all of their listening needs. For users who prefer a more active role in setting surround modes, buttons on the remote and the front panel provide manual selection of surround mode that are not automatically detected or, in some cases, to override an automatic setting. Manual settings available from the front panel and/or the remote might be used when you want to play: · Standard 2-channel stereo (left/right speakers only) with no surround processing. · Downmixed 2-channel playback of Dolby Digital 5. 1 or DTS recordings. · 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. A digital signal coming into the RSX-1056 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 RSX-1056. 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: Additionally, you can configure a default surround mode for each input using the INPUT SETUP menu (see the Setup section of this manual). Combined with the auto-detection of Dolby Digital 5. 1 and DTS, this default surround setting makes operation of the RSX-1056 surround modes totally automatic. For example, if you set Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode as RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver 28 DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6. 1, DTS-ES Discrete 6. 1, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital, MP3, MPEG Multichannel, HDCD (96kHz), and PCM 2-channel (96kHz) digital signals are auto-detected and cannot be overridden. However, you can choose to use Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding for any Dolby Digital 5. 1 source material. You can also downmix Dolby Digital 5. 1 or DTS 5. 1 recordings for 2-channel playback. NOTE: 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 diffused surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decoding and may be the better 7. 1 channel options for non-Surround EX discs. Selecting DD 5. 1 forces the center back channel processing off for conventional 5. 1 channel playback. [. . . ] · In some PAL systems, the menus may not be displayed unless there is an active video signal. · When using progressive scan video signals, make sure that the progressive mode is selected for that video input in the OTHER OPTIONS setup menu. This allows the display of the main setup OSD menus on the TV monitor by interrupting the progressive scan video signal and restoring it after the OSD menus are cancelled. The temporary information screens (such as volume, etc. ) cannot be displayed on the TV monitor when progressive scan signals are being used. [. . . ]
