ROTEL RSP-1069 - Manuel (Page 38)

38 RSP-1069 Surround Sound Processor
INPUT ATT.: Use this setting to reduce the
volume level of the selected audio input from
0dB (no attenuation) to –6dB. Use this at-
tenuation for louder sources to match them
to quieter sources.
CINEMA EQ: The RSP-1069 includes a CIN-
EMA EQ feature which reduces the high-fre-
quency content of movie soundtracks to simu-
late the frequency response of a large movie
theater and/or eliminate sibilance. You can
turn the CINEMA EQ on or off as the default
setting for the selected input using this menu
choice. In general, this setting should be OFF
for most source inputs, unless you are consis-
tently bothered by excessively bright sound
from movie soundtracks.
12V TRIGGER: The RSP-1069 has six 12V
trigger outputs (labeled 1–6) that supply a
12V DC signal to turn on Rotel components
and other components as needed. This menu
item turns on specific 12V trigger outputs
whenever the indicated source is selected.
For example, set up the VIDEO 1 input to
turn on the 12V trigger for your DVD player.
Any combination of trigger outputs can be
programmed for each source.
1. Press the +/– buttons on the remote to
change the first position from blank to 1
(activating TRIGGER 1 for that source).
2. Press the ENT button on the remote to
move to the next position.
3. Repeat until all six positions are set as
desired. A final press of the ENT button
confirms the selection.
DEFAULT MODE: The DEFAULT MODE
setting allows you to set a default surround
sound mode for each source input. The de-
fault setting will be used unless the source
material triggers automatic decoding of a
particular type or unless the default setting
is temporarily overridden by the front panel
or remote surround mode buttons.
NOTE
: Default surround modes are stored in-
dependently for the analog and digital inputs
for each source.
Options for the default surround modes are:
Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3 Stereo, DSP 1,
DSP 2, DSP 3, DSP 4, 5ch Stereo, 7ch Ste-
reo, PCM 2 Channel, DTS Neo:6, Bypass
(for analog input only), and Stereo.
NOTE
: The following types of digital discs or
source material are generally detected auto-
matically and the proper decoding activated
with no action or setting required: DTS, DTS-ES
Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digi-
tal, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital
2-channel, PCM 2-Channel, PCM 96kHz,
HDCD, and HDCD 96kHz.
Since Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sources are
detected and decoded automatically, the
default setting typically tells the RSP-1069
how to process a 2-channel stereo signal.
For example, you might have your CD input
default to 2-channel stereo, DVD and VCR
inputs default to Dolby Pro Logic II process-
ing for matrix-encoded Dolby surround ma-
terial, and TUNER input default to one of the
DSP modes.
In some cases, the default setting can be
manually overridden by the front panel sur-
round mode buttons or the SUR+ button
on the remote. See the Manually Selecting
Surround Modes section of this manual for
more information on which settings can be
overridden.
Two of the default surround mode settings
available on this menu offer additional
choices. Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers
a choice of CINEMA or MUSIC settings. DTS
Neo:6 decoding offers a choice of CINEMA
or MUSIC settings. When either Dolby Pro
Logic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected with this
menu item, the current setting choice will
also be displayed. In addition, the function
of the ENTER button changes, taking you to
a sub-menu where you can change the set-
tings and/or additional parameters for Dolby
Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 decoding. See the
following section for details.
GROUP DELAY: Also known as “lip-sync”
delay, this setting delays the audio signal for
an input by the specified amount to match
the video input. This feature can be useful
when the video signal is delayed more than
the audio signal as sometimes happens with
upconverted digital TV processors or when
trying to match a radio broadcast with the
video from a sports event.
The range of available settings is from 0ms
to 500ms, in 5ms increments. The setting is
individually stored for each input and is the
default group delay each time that input is
selected. The setting can be temporarily over-
ridden from the front panel or the remote.
To return to the MAIN menu from the INPUT
SETUP menu (except when Dolby Pro Log-
ic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected in the SURR
MODE field), press the ENTER button. Press
the MENU/OSD button on the remote to
cancel the menu display and return to nor-
mal operation.

When the MULTI INPUT source is selected
on the INPUT SETUP menu, the available
options change to reflect the fact that these
inputs are direct analog inputs and bypass
the RSP-1069’s digital processing. The INPUT,
CINEMA EQ, and DEFAULT MODE options
are not available since these are all digitally
implemented features.
The VID INPUT, INPUT LABEL, and 12V TRIG-
GER options are still available and work as
described on the previous menu.
One additional option, LFE REDIRECT, pro-
vides an alternative bass management con-
figuration. Typically, the eight channels of the
MULTI INPUT are configured as pure analog
bypass signals, going straight from the inputs
to the volume control and the preamp outputs,
bypassing all of the digital processing. There
are no crossovers and no bass management;
therefore, whatever signal goes into the sub-
woofer channel will be sent to the subwoofer
preamp output.
