[. . . ] The RSX-1056 decodes these discs just like a DTS movie soundtrack when played on a CD player or DVD player with a digital output connection. DVD-A music discs: Taking advantage of the increased storage capacity of the DVD disc, new high bit rate multichannel audio recordings are available on DVD-A discs. DVD-A discs may include multiple versions of the recording including standard PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5. 1, DTS 5. 1, and 96kHz/24 bit (or higher) multichannel recordings using MLP compression. Several of these formats (standard PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS 5. 1 can be decoded by the RSX-1056 when the DVD player is connected with a digital cable. However, the existing optical and coax digital connection standard does not provide sufficient bandwidth for multichannel high sampling rate MLP recordings. Therefore, DVD-A discs with these high-resolution audio soundtracks must be decoded by a the DVD player and the resulting analog signals sent to the RSX-1056'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 RSX-1056's MULTI INPUTS. MP3: The RSX-1056 also features a decoder for the digital MP3 (MPEG1- Audio Layer 3) compression format. MP3 format recordings are available on the Internet and can be played on portable MP3 players or some disc players that can read CD-ROM discs connected to the RSX-1056's digital inputs. MPEG Multichannel: The RSX-1056 can decode MPEG Multichannel digital recordings. Widely used in Europe, this format uses MPEG data compression to record up to 5. 1 channels of discrete digital audio, similar in function to the Dolby Digital and DTS formats. Automatic Surround Modes 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 RSX-1056 what decoding format is required. For example, when Dolby Digital 5. 1 or DTS 5. 1 channel surround is detected, the RSX-1056 activates the proper decoding. The unit will also detect DTS-ES Matrix 6. 1 or DTS-ES Discrete 6. 1 discs and activate DTS-ES® Extended Surround decoding. 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). Likewise, a digital input from an HDCD® encoded compact disc, a standard CD, a DTS 96/24 disc, or MP3 player will be auto-detected and properly decoded to 2CH stereo operation. Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Rotel XS processing can be configured to be automatically active in all 6. 1 or 7. 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. In many cases, the RSX-1056 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. the default for all of your video inputs, the RSX-1056 will automatically decode Dolby Digital 5. 1 and DTS soundtracks when they are played and use Pro Logic II matrix decoding for all other recordings. 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. [. . . ] · Make sure that the IR sensor on the front panel is not blocked. · Make sure the sensor is not receiving strong IR light (sunlight, halogen lighting, etc. ) · Unplug the unit from the AC outlet, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in to reset. Troubleshooting The unit does not turn on. · Make sure the power cord is plugged into the rear panel and a live AC wall outlet. · Make sure the rear panel POWER switch is in the ON position. [. . . ]
