channels and the CENTER BACK channels).

The selected speaker and its current setting

appear brieﬂy in the display.

2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons on the re-

mote to adjust the output level of the se-

lected channel(s).

NOTE: If no level adjustment is made for 10

seconds, the levels revert to the default cali-

brated settings.

As you select a speaker in the above adjust-

ments, you may notice an addition choice,

“group delay”. See the following for an ex-

planation of this feature.

Group Delay

The SPEAKER adjustments (described above)

can also be used to make a temporary ad-

justment to the group delay or “lip-synch”

delay. Group delay delays the overall audio

signal (to all speakers) by a speciﬁed amount

to correct for situations where the video and

audio signals are out of synch. This can oc-

cur with upconverted digital TV signals or

when trying to match a radio broadcast

with the video from a sports event. The set-

tings range from 0 to 500 milliseconds in 5

ms increments.

Like the speaker settings, this is a temporary

adjustment that overrides the permanent de-

fault setting for a video source until a dif-

ferent input source is selected or the unit is

turned off.

To adjust group delay using the re-

mote:

1. Press the C button on the remote twice.

2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons on the re-

mote to adjust the amount of delay ap-

plied to all channels.

Dynamic Range

Dolby Digital recordings 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 dy-

namic range when listening at low volume

levels. This is particularly useful in order to

keep dialog loud enough to be intelligible

while avoiding excessively loud sound ef-

fects. Dolby Digital dynamic compensation

is a sophisticated feature that allows you to

adjust the dynamic range while still preserv-

ing ﬁdelity. The actual amount of compres-

sion relies on instructions embedded in the

Dolby Digital recording and varies to best

suit the speciﬁc program content.

There are three dynamic range settings avail-

able for Dolby Digital recordings:

• MAX: full dynamic range.

• MID: slightly reduced dynamic range,

roughly comparable to the signal from a

compact disc.

• MIN: more heavily reduced dynamic

range, but still comparable to the signal

from a typical VHS Hi-Fi recording.

To adjust dynamic range:

Press the DYN button on the remote repeat-

edly until the desired setting appears in the

front-panel display. This setting remains in

effect for all Dolby Digital program material

until it is changed.

NOTE: The dynamic range compensation fea-

ture is only available in Dolby Digital mode.

The setting is ignored with all other types of

recordings.

Contour/Tone Settings

The contour controls (available on the remote

control) can be used to make a temporary

change to the high or low frequency con-

tent at the frequency extremes. Adjustments

to the contour settings are temporary; they

remain in effect only until a different source

input is selected or the unit is turned off. Per-

manent settings can be made using the Con-

tour Setup menu.

The settings can be adjusted up or down by a

maximum of 6dB. Changing the high frequency

contour (HF) increases or decreases the tre-

ble. Changing the low frequency contour (LF)

increases or decreases the bass content. The

changes affect only the speaker or speaker(s)

selected for adjustment in the Contour Setup

menu. The settings are shown on the front-

panel display as you adjust them.

To adjust the contour settings from

the remote:

1. Press the TONE button on the remote.

Either LF or HF appears in the OSD and

front-panel displays, depending on which

adjustment is currently active. Press the

TONE button again to toggle to the other

adjustment.

2. Press the UP/DOWN buttons on the re-

mote to increase or decrease the setting.

The display will revert to normal operation

following several seconds of inactivity.

NOTE: The tone adjustments are available

for all surround modes and inputs, except the

MULTI input and analog bypass mode.

Cinema EQ

The EQ button (remote only) activates or de-

activates a special CINEMA EQ setting. This

equalization may be desirable for playback of

movie source material to compensate for the

acoustic differences between a commercial

cinema and a home theater environment by

reducing the high-frequency content.

The EQ setting is independent for each source

input. Using the button only changes the set-

ting for the currently active source input.

Tuner Controls

The RSX-1058 features a digital synthesized

AM/FM tuner with RDS capability and 30

station presets. The unit offers a wide range

of tuning options. Here is an overview of

the tuning options (more detailed informa-

tion is provided in subsequent sections of

this manual):

• Manual frequency tuning tunes up

or down to the next station frequency

(when in frequency tuning mode). Press

and release a TUNING button (CH UP/

DOWN on the remote) to tune.

• Direct frequency tuning lets you enter

the desired station frequency digits. Press

the DIRECT button (or the FRQ DIRECT)

button on the remote) and enter the digits

using the NUMERIC buttons.

• Automatic frequency search tun-

ing searches up or down to ﬁnd the next

receivable broadcast signal. Press and

hold a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN

on the remote) for at least one second to

search up or down.

• Station preset tuning lets you directly

enter the number of a memorized station

preset. Enter the number of the memorized

preset using the NUMERIC buttons.

• Preset tuning jumps up/down to the

next memorized station preset. When in

PRESET mode, press a TUNING button
