Important Safety Instructions WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 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. [. . . ] The right channel is sent to the front right and surround right speakers. A mono sum of the two channels is sent to the center channel speaker. 7CH Stereo: This mode is the same as 5CH Stereo described above except that it also distributes stereo signals to center back speaker(s) installed in the system. Rotel XS 6. 1 and 7. 1 Channel Surround The RSX-1067 also features Rotel XS (eXtra Surround) processing provides extended surround performance on 6. 1 and 7. 1 channel systems. 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 decodes the surround channels and distributes the extended surround channels to the center back speaker(s) in a way that tends to create a diffuse surround effect. Rotel XS works with matrix-encoded surround signals (such as nonflagged DTS-ES and Dolby Surround EX discs) as well as digital source material that is not Dolby Surround EX encoded (such as DTS 5. 1, Dolby Digital 5. 1, and even Dolby Pro Logic II decoded Dolby Digital 2. 0 recordings). DSP Music Modes Unlike all of the formats mentioned above, the RSX-1067 offers four surround modes that are not part of a specific recording/playback system. These modes (MUSIC 1­4) use digital signal processing that adds special acoustic effects to any signal. DSP processing can be used with Dolby Surround recordings, Dolby Digital recordings, CDs, radio broadcasts, or any other source material; however, typically DSP settings would be used with source material for which there is no specific surround decoder. Other Digital Formats Several other digital formats are not surround sound formats at all, but rather systems for digital 2-channel recordings. PCM 2-channel: This is an uncompressed 2-channel digital signal such as that used for standard CD recordings and some DVD recordings, particularly of older films. 27 English 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-1067 what decoding format is required. For example, when Dolby Digital 5. 1 or DTS 5. 1 channel surround is detected, the RSX-1067 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-1067 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-1067 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. NOTE: 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. 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-1067 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. [. . . ] · During switching, it may take a split second for digital signals to be recognized and properly decoded. Rapid repeated switching between inputs or settings can result in clicks or pops from the speakers as the unit attempts to lock on to the rapidly changing signals. · Make sure that fresh batteries are installed in the remote. · Make sure that the IR sensor on the front panel is not blocked.
