speakers and their ampliﬁers, as they must

play their own normal bass plus the very

demanding LFE bass.

• All SMALL speakers and subwoof-

er. The normal bass from all channels is

redirected to the subwoofer, which also

plays the LFE channel. The subwoofer

handles ALL of the bass in the system.

This conﬁguration provides several ben-

eﬁts: deep bass is played by the speaker

most suited to do so, the main speakers

may play louder with less distortion, and

the need for ampliﬁer power is reduced.

This conﬁguration should be used with

bookshelf-size or smaller main speak-

ers. It should also be considered in some

cases with ﬂoorstanding front speakers.

This conﬁguration is advantageous when

driving the system with moderate power

ampliﬁers.

• LARGE front speakers, SMALL cen-

ter and surround speakers, and a

subwoofer. The normal bass from the

SMALL center and surround speakers is re-

directed to the LARGE front speakers and

the subwoofer. The LARGE front speakers

play their own normal bass plus the redi-

rected bass from the SMALL speakers and

LFE bass. The subwoofer plays the LFE bass

plus the redirected bass from all of the oth-

er channels. This might be an appropriate

conﬁguration with a pair of very capable

front speakers driven by a large power

ampliﬁer. A potential disadvantage with

mixed LARGE and SMALL conﬁgurations is

that the bass response may not be as con-

sistent from channel to channel as it might

be with the all SMALL conﬁguration.

NOTE: As an alternative conﬁguration with a

satellite/subwoofer package as the front speakers,

follow the speaker manufacturer’s instructions,

connecting the high-level inputs of the powered

subwoofer directly to the front speaker outputs

of the RSX-1058 and connecting the satellites

to the subwoofer’s own crossover. In this ar-

rangement, the speakers would be classiﬁed as

LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF

for all surround modes. No information is lost

during playback because the system redirects

bass information to the front LARGE speakers.

While this conﬁguration ensures proper satellite

speaker operation by using the speaker’s own

crossovers, it has some disadvantages in terms

of system calibration and would generally not

be the preferred conﬁguration.

The SPEAKER SETUP menu is used to con-

ﬁgure the RSX-1058 for use with your specif-

ic loudspeakers and to determine the bass

management conﬁguration as described in

the previous overview. The menu is accessed

from the MAIN menu.

The following speaker options are avail-

able:

FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): Use

the LARGE setting to have the front speakers

play low bass (full-range). Use the SMALL

setting to redirect normal bass away from

these speakers to a subwoofer (high-pass

ﬁltered).

CENTER SPEAKER(S) (large/small/

none): Use the LARGE position (not avail-

able with SMALL front speakers) to have the

center speaker play low bass (full-range).

Use the SMALL position if your center chan-

nel speaker has limited low frequency capa-

bility, or if you prefer that the bass be sent to

the subwoofer (high-pass). Select the NONE

setting if your system does not have a center

channel speaker (the surround modes will au-

tomatically divide all center channel informa-

tion equally between the two front speakers,

creating a phantom center channel).

SURROUND SPEAKERS (large/small/

none): Select the LARGE setting (not avail-

able with SMALL front speakers) to have the

surround speakers play low bass (full-range).

If your rear speakers have limited bass capa-

bility or if you would prefer that the bass go

to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (high-

pass). If your system has no rear surround

speakers, select the NONE setting (surround

channels are added to the front speakers so

none of the recording is lost).

CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/

large2/small1/small2/none): Some sys-

tems have one or two additional center back

surround speakers. Select the LARGE settings

(not available with SMALL front speakers) to

have your center back speaker(s) play low

bass. Use LARGE 1 if you have one center

back speaker (6.1) or LARGE 2 (7.1) if you

have two center back speakers (7.1). If your

center back speakers have limited bass ca-

pability or if you would prefer that the bass

go to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting

(SMALL1 for one speaker, SMALL2 for two

speakers). If your system has no center back

speakers, select the NONE setting. With

center back speakers, the Rotel XS eXtended

surround, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby

Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6 or other decoders

will provide center back signals for any sur-

round mode.

SUBWOOFER (yes/no/max): The YES set-

ting is the standard setting if your system has

a subwoofer. If your system does not have a

subwoofer, select NO. Select the MAX setting

for maximum bass output with normal bass

being duplicated by both the subwoofer and

any LARGE speakers in the system.

ADVANCED: Speaker conﬁguration is gen-

erally a global setting for all surround modes

and need only be done once. However, for

special circumstances, the RSX-1058 provides

the option of setting the speaker conﬁgura-

tion independently for each of four surround

modes. Select the ADVANCED line on the

menu and press ENTER to go to the AD-

VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu described

in the following section.

To change a setting on the SPEAKER SETUP

menu, place the highlight on the desired line

using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the

+/– buttons to toggle through the available

settings. To return to the MAIN menu, press

the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD but-

ton on the remote to cancel the display and

return to normal operation.
