FCC Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Press the R button 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. Use the UP or DOWN buttons remote to adjust the output level of the selected channel(s). 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 a different input or turning the unit off reverts to the default levels. A "D. RANGE" indicator in the front-panel display 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 designed to keep dialog intelligible while adjusting the loudest and softest sounds. Connections: Overview The RSP-1066 connections include standard RCA audio inputs and outputs, composite video inputs and outputs, S-Video inputs and outputs, Component Video inputs, plus coaxial and optical digital inputs and outputs. Surround formats like Dolby Digital and DTS are digital formats and the RSP-1066 can only decode them when a digital input signal is available. For this reason, you should always connect your DVD player's digital outputs to the RSP-1066, using either the optical or coax inputs. NOTE: The RSP-1066 has RCA preamp audio outputs for use with power amplifiers as well as composite video, S-Video, and Component Video outputs to connect your TV monitor. The RSP-1066 also has MULTI input connections, a remote IR sensor input, and two 12V trigger connections for remote turn-on of Rotel amplifiers. NOTE: Do not plug any system component into an AC source until all connections have been properly made. Setting Surround Modes from the Remote SUR+ Button The SUR+ button on the remote selects the surround modes described in the previous section. Each time you press the button, the surround mode cycles to the next setting (2-Stereo > Dolby Pro Logic II > Dolby 3-Stereo > Music 1 ­ 4 > 5CH Stereo > 7CH Stereo > Neo:6 > 2-Stereo) as indicated by the frontpanel display and an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY indicator. Repeatedly press the button until you reach the desired setting. NOTE: The following type of source material are generally detected automatically and the proper decoding activated with no action required: DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6. 1, DTS-ES Discrete 6. 1, Dolby Digital, MP3, HDCD and PCM 2-channel. Some surround modes may not be available for all source material. 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) Video cables should have a 75 ohm impedance rating. The S/PDIF digital audio interface standard also specifies a 75 ohm impedance and all good digital cables adhere to this requirement. Because the video and S/ PDIF standards are so close, you can use a video cable for digital audio data transmission. Do NOT substitute conventional audio interconnect cables for digital or video signals. Standard audio interconnects will pass these signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce performance. RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor 18 When making signal connections, connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT channels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on the RSP-1066 follow these standard color codes: Left channel audio: white RCA jack Right channel audio: red RCA jack Composite video: yellow RCA jack NOTE: On a PAL standard monitor, the OSD cannot be displayed until a video signal is present, irrespective of the type of video cables in use. For setup, connect the video output from your DVD player and select its input on the RSP-1066. [. . . ] The screen will change to a confirmation screen. Press the ENTER button to store the new USER DEFAULT settings. To return to the MAIN menu without saving any changes, change all entries on the screen to NO and press the ENTER button. NOTE: If there is insufficient memory to store a USER DEFAULT configuration file, the USER DEFAULT SET option will not be available. line, thus optimizing system performance when sending a fixed level signal to a preamp or amplifier with its own volume adjustment. VOLUME: In VARIABLE output mode, this line shows the current volume setting for Zone 2. [. . . ]
