Movie Filter Q; Tape Monitor Q; Channel Input Q; Rr-930 Remote Control_12 - Rotel RSP-980 Owner's Manual

SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR RSP-980
Movie Filter O
This button activates circuitry that reduces high-frequency re¬
sponse and is particularly useful for removing excessive high
frequency content from olderfilm soundtracks.
Tape Monitor O
This switch overrides the normal Ustening Source Selectors to
listen to whatever source component is connected to the Tape
Monitor Input jacks. A confirming LED will light whenever the
Tape Monitor switch is depressed.
Note: Although you can select any normal input by pressing a
Listenting Source Selector button and get confirmation from the
source LEDs while the Tape Monitor button is depressed, you
will not hear a signal from a normal input until you release the
Tape Monitor button.
5.1 Channel Input O
This button overrides all other input selectors
including the Tape
Monitor Switch
and directly connects an external Dolby Digital/
AC-3 adaptor {such as Rotel's ROA-980) to the RSP-980's master
Volume control. This allows the RSP-980 to remain the central
controller for even the most advanced audio/video systems.
When using the 5.1 CH INPUT, all of the RSP-980's normal sur¬
round modes and system calibration settings are bypassed.
Channel balance, dynamic range, time delay adjustments, etc.
are controlled by the optional RDA-980 Dolby Digital adaptor.
RR-930 Remote Control
The RR-930 remote controller is specifically designed for the
RSP-980. and it's simplified design makes it ideal for day-to-day
use with the RSP-980.
Note: Rotel offers a variety of optional programmable and learn¬
ing remotes that will operate all Rotel remote capable compo¬
nents and most of the RSP-980's functions. See your Rotel audio
specialty dealer for additional information.
You may notice a slight hesitation in the RSP-980's response
when you move from button to button on the RR-930. This is in¬
tentional and gives the microprocessor sufficient time to verify
and process a command before accepting another. If the RSP-
980 does not immediately respond to a remote-generated com¬
mand, simply wait an instant and push the button again.
The following section provides an overview of the controls avail¬
able on the standard RR-930 remote control included with the
RSP-980. Note that first three functions simply duplicate the
RSP-980 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.
Standby Switch

servo-motor will physically turn the volume knob on the RSP-980
front panel.

A row of six buttons (LINE/CD, TUNER/SOBS, LD, VIDEO 1, VIDEO

from the remote control.

ume control LED and On-Screen MASTER LEVEL indicator will
