Tone Controls

The front-panel BASS and TREBLE controls

increase or decrease the audio signal’s low and

high frequency content respectively and allow

you to tailor the sound to your own preferences.

Rotate clockwise to increase the bass or treble

and counterclockwise to reduce. The front-panel

display and ON-SCREEN DISPLAY show tone

control settings as you adjust them.

Bass and treble adjustments can also be made

from the remote control:

1. Press the SHIFT button

to select BASS

or TREBLE mode, pressing it again to toggle

between the two.

2. Press the UP/DOWN buttons

to ad-

just the bass or treble.

FILTER Button

The FILTER button (remote only) activates or

deactivates a special CINEMA EQ setting. This

equalization may be desirable for playback

of movie source material to compensate for

the acoustic differences between a commer-

cial cinema and a home theater environment.

The FILTER setting is independent for each source

input. Using the button only changes the set-

ting for the currently active source input.

MENU Button

The MENU button is used to access the ON-

SCREEN DISPLAY system used in configuring

the RSP-1066. Push the MENU button on the

remote to turn on the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY

menu system. If the menu system is already

visible, push this button to cancel the display.

The front panel FL display can be turned off

by pressing and holding the MENU button on

the remote for three seconds. Briefly press the

MENU button again to turn the display back

on. The display also turns back on whenever

the POWER button on the front-panel or re-

mote is pressed.

ENTER Button

The ENTER button is used to confirm and

memorize various settings in the setup and

operation of the RSP-1066. Its use is described

in detail in the relevant sections.

Input Controls

Input Source Buttons

The RSP-1066 can be used with up to eight

source components. Press any of the eight front-

panel buttons to select an audio or video in-

put source (TUNER, CD, VCR, etc.) for listen-

ing. You will hear this source and, if you have

selected a video source, see its picture on your

TV monitor.

The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN

DISPLAY on the TV will show the name of the

current listening source selection. The labels

for VIDEO sources can be customized to match

your components.

All of the inputs (the five video inputs, the CD

input, the TUNER input, and the TAPE input)

can accept either analog signals or digital sig-

nals from one of the five assignable digital

inputs. When a digital input is assigned dur-

ing system configuration, the RSP-1066 checks

for the presence of a digital signal at that in-

put. If a digital signal is present when the source

is selected, it is automatically activated and

the proper surround mode enabled. If no digital

signal is present, the analog inputs for that

source are activated. This auto-sensing is the

preferred configuration for digital source in-

puts such as DVD players. When an ANALOG

input is assigned, the unit will not access a

digital signal, even though one may be avail-

able at the digital input.

By default, the source input buttons are fac-

tory configured to select the following inputs:

CD: Analog input

Tuner: Analog input

Tape: Analog input

Video 1: Digital Coaxial 1

Video 2: Digital Coaxial 2

Video 3: Digital Coaxial 3

Video 4: Digital Optical 1

Video 5: Digital Optical 2

NOTE

: See the INPUT MENU topic in the On-

Screen Display/Configuration section of this

manual for details about configuring inputs.

The input source buttons can also be used with

the REC button

(described in the next sec-

tion) to select an analog input source signal

to be available at the outputs for recording.

Additionally, the input source buttons can be

used with the ZONE button

to select an

analog input source for ZONE 2.

REC Button

ZONE Button

The RSP-1066 can record from any analog

source to a VCR or other recorder connected

to the VIDEO 1, 2 or 3 outputs or the TAPE

outputs, even while you are listening to a dif-

ferent input source. To select an input source

for recording, press the REC button on the front-

panel (or the equivalent ZONE button on the

remote). Then, press one of the INPUT SOURCE

buttons within 5 seconds to select the signal

you wish to record. After making your selec-

tion (or if more than five seconds passes), the

input source buttons return to their normal

function, selecting a listening source.

Remember, this selection is independent of the

listening source. While recording, you may

still select a different source for listening. The

record selection appears in the display to the

right of the listening selection.

NOTE

: The RECORD function requires analog

signals. If you use a digital connection from

a CD player or DVD for listening, you should

also connect an analog signal for recording.

MULTI Input

EXT IN

The RSP-1066 can accept 6.1 channel discrete

analog signals from an outboard digital pro-

cessor, thus allowing compatibility with future

surround sound formats.

Press the MULTI INPUT button (or the EXT IN

button on the remote) to override any other audio

input (both analog and digital) and select the

audio signal from an external digital adaptor.

NOTE

: Temporary adjustments in the levels for

all channels of the MULTI Input can be made

with the remote control. See the Speaker Level

Adjustment instructions in the following Sur-

round Sound Controls section. In addition, the

subwoofer default level for the MULTI Input can

be set using the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu

of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system.

This input only changes the audio signal; the

video signal from the currently selected input

remains in use. When activated, the RSP-1066’s

digital processing is bypassed. An indicator

appears in the front-panel display.

NOTE

: When the MULTI CH input is selected,

the CB output is available only at the CB1

PREOUT connector. No signal is available at

the CB2 PREOUT connector.
