User manual ROTEL RSP-1069

[. . . ] Rotel products are designed to comply with international directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with these directives. This symbol means that this unit is double insulated. An earth or ground connection is not required. [. . . ] 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-1069'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 key benefit of Rotel XS is that it works at all times with all multichannel digital signals, even those that might not otherwise activate Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES surround decoding for the center back channel(s). Always available when center back speaker(s) are configured in the system setup, Rotel XS Lution audio can be decoded by the DVD-A player and the resulting analog signals sent to the RSP-1069's MULTI INPUT. sACD®: This is a proprietary high-resolution audio standard for use on SACD compatible disc players. As with high-resolution DVD-A discs, the bandwidth is too high for today's digital connection. Thus, these discs must be decoded by SACD compatible player, with the output sent to the RSP-1069's MULTI INPUTS. MP3: MP3 format recordings, often downloaded from the Internet, can be played on portable MP3 players or some disc players that can read CD-ROM discs. These players can be connected to the RSP-1069's digital inputs, but must output a digital PCM stream. In many cases, the RSP-1069 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. nOTE: A digital signal coming into the RSP-1069 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-1069. For example, you may need to use the DVD's menu system to select the Dolby Digital 5. Manual settings available from the front panel and/or the remote might be used when you want to play: · Decoding of digital sources connected to the digital inputs is generally automatic, with detection triggered by a "flag" embedded in the digital recording telling the RSP-1069 what decoding format is required. Dolby Digital Surround EX recordings also trigger automatic decoding (although not all Surround EX DVDs have the necessary flag and may require manually activating Surround EX decoding). 1 channel systems configured with center back speaker(s) and will ensure proper extended surround decoding of all multichannel digital signals, even those that might not otherwise trigger the proper extended surround mode. 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 RSP-1069 surround modes totally automatic. For example, if you set Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode as the default for all of your video inputs, the RSP-1069 will automatically decode Dolby Digital 5. [. . . ] S-Video and Composite Video TV monitors can only be used with interlaced SD sources. HDMI and Component TV monitors can be used with Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) sources. To activate memorized USER DEFAULT settings: After you have stored a USER DEFAULT configuration file, you can activate those settings at any time by placing the highlight on the USER DEFAULT line using the UP/DOWN buttons. To return to the MAIN menu without activating the USER DEFAULT settings, change the entry to NO and press the ENTER button. [. . . ]
