User manual ROTEL RCD-965BX

[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. [. . . ] In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. A stereo indicator will light in the front panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal. Home theater speaker systems vary considerably in their size and performance, particularly in their bass output. For this reason, today's surround sound processors feature elaborate logic which can send thunderous bass information from movie soundtracks to the speaker(s) best able to handle it ­ subwoofers and/or large speakers. For optimum surround sound performance, it is necessary to tell the RCD-965BX what speakers your system includes and what type they are. The following configuration instructions refer to LARGE and SMALL speakers. The size refers more to the bass performance of the speaker than its physical size. A full-range speaker that has extended bass response is considered LARGE. A compact minispeaker with limited bass response or power handling is considered SMALL. While understanding the terms LARGE and SMALL is useful, it is probably more important to understand what these different speaker types mean in terms of system performance. This will help determine how you should configure your system. One is the On-Screen menu system (described later in this manual). The other method uses the front panel SPEAKER MODE button: 1. Select the Dolby Pro Logic surround mode with the front panel buttons or by playing a Dolby Digital or DTS digital source. Press and hold the SPEAKER MODE button for at least 2 seconds to activate the FRONT speaker configuration. An indicator will appear in the front panel display. Quickly press the SPEAKER MODE button in succession to toggle through the available options for the FRONT speakers (large/small). The selection will appear on front panel display. When the correct size configuration for your FRONT speakers appears, press the MEMORY button to store the setting. This will automatically take you to the configuration options for the next type of speaker, for example, the CENTER speaker. Repeat steps 3 and 4, pressing the SPEAKER MODE button quickly in succession until you reach the desired setting and then confirm the selection by pressing the MEMORY button. Continue until you have set the proper configuration for all speakers. [. . . ] Cancel the On-Screen Display by pressing MENU. This menu duplicates the functions of the front panel TREBLE, BASS, and BALANCE controls and provides a method of changing them with the remote control. Select a line in the menu using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote or the NUMERIC Keypad front panel buttons ( ), then adjust the setting using the VOL UP/ DOWN remote buttons. Return to the MAIN menu by pressing the BACK button. Cancel the On-Screen Display by pressing MENU.
