RSP-985

a home theater, you only use two speakers located to the side

of your head. The Timbre Matching filters the information going

to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the

tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front

speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front

and surround speakers.

• Adaptive Decorrelation™: In a movie theater, a large number

of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround

sound experience. In a home theater, there are only two sur-

round speakers which can reduce spatiousness and envelop-

ment. Surround sound can also collapse into the closest

speaker as you move away from the middle seating position.

Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one surround

channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other

surround channel. This expands the listening position and cre-

ates the same spacious surround experience as in a movie

theater.

By pressing the MOVIE FILTER button on the remote control, you

activate the THX technologies described above. Movies that have

been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Stereo, and

Mono can all benefit from activating these THX features. THX

should only be activated for movies that were mixed for playback

in large movie theaters. It need not be activated for music, made

for TV movies, sports, talk shows or other programs mixed for

small rooms.

Note: All of the surround modes described above are selected

with the MODE button (described below) except Dolby Digital ,

DTS, and THX. Dolby Digital and DTS are automatically activated

when special digital codes in the source material are detected.

THX is added to any of the other cinema surround modes using

the MOVIE FILTER button on the remote control or during initial

system setup from the ON-SCREEN MENUS.

Mode Button

The MODE button selects one of the surround modes described

above. To make a selection, press the MODE button (or the SUR-

ROUND + button on the remote). The LED above the button will

light. Each time you press the button while the LED is lit, the sur-

round mode will cycle to the next available setting as indicated by

the SURROUND MODE LEDs. In addition, the surround mode set-

ting may be changed using the ON-SCREEN MENU system.

No selection is required when playing Dolby Digital or DTS source

material. These settings are automatically engaged. THX can be

added to any of the cinema surround modes by pressing the

MOVIE FILTER button on the remote control.

Note: A default MODE selection can be memorized for each input

so that whenever you select that input source, the desired mode

is automatically engaged. The default setting is made from the

ON-SCREEN MENU system during setup of the system described

at the end of this manual.

RR-939 Remote Control

The RSP-985 includes a handheld remote control that does far

more than operate the RSP-985. The RR-939 is a full-function uni-

versal remote control that can operate up to 8 additional audio/

video components.

A separate manual, included with the remote, gives detailed infor-

mation on programming and using the RR-939 to replace all of the

remote controls in your system. This section is intended to provide

only that information which pertains to the use of the RR-939 to

operate the RSP-985.

Note: Many functions duplicate the RSP-985 front panel controls

and are listed here only for your reference. Please refer to the

previous Front Panel Controls section of this manual if you need

additional information.

Programming the RR-939

The RR-939 is preprogrammed from the factory to operate the

RSP-985. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-939 not op-

erate the RSP-985, it’s possible that the programming has been in-

advertently changed. To program the remote to operate the

RSP-985 (AUDIO Button / 3-digit code 002):

Step One: Press the AUDIO button at the top of the remote while

simultaneously pressing the MUTE button and hold both for at

least one second. The AUDIO button will light in red for 20 sec-

onds, indicating that you have entered the program mode. The

next step must be done within this 20 second period, or the RR-939

will revert to its standard operating mode.

Step Two: Use the NUMERIC buttons to enter the 3-digit code

(002) for the RSP-985 – press 0, then 0, then 2. The AUDIO button

will flash each time you enter a digit.

Step Three: Store the code number by pressing the corresponding

AUDIO button again. The button will blink twice to confirm the

storage of the code in memory.

To operate the RSP-985, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active

by pressing it before you start. If it is active, pressing command

keys on the RR-939 will cause the AUDIO button to flash red. Once

the AUDIO mode is active, it will stay active unless you press one

of the other DEVICE buttons to control a different component.

Power Button

Duplicates the function of the STANDBY switch on the front panel.

Press to activate the RSP-985. Press again to deactivate.

Volume Buttons

A pair of buttons which duplicate the function of the front panel

volume control. Press VOLUME UP to increase the volume and

press VOLUME DOWN to decrease the volume. These buttons are

also used to change the current settings for a menu choice in the

ON-SCREEN MENU system.
