LISTENING input selected is displayed by a front panel Light Emitting Diode (LED)
and
in the ON SCREEN
display. LISTENING inputs may be chosen by using the front panel buttons or the remote control.
The INPUT LEVEL controls will allow you to match the volume levels of various inputs to the same volume level.
To set these, choose the input you wish to adjust and then push the < or the > button to adjust the level. After you
set the levels, it is easy to memorize these settings for individual inputs. Press the INPUT selector you wish to
memorize and hold it in for more than 2 seconds. The ON SCREEN display will flash the word MEMORIZED.
Changing the level is easy and can be reset to any level from 0 dB to -12 dB. If the INPUT selected is being
overloaded by a strong signal, a small OVERLOAD symbol will be displayed ON SCREEN. This symbol
looks a little like a light bulb with light rays coming from it. The PEAK light on the front panel will flash if the
input level is too high, in addition to the on screen display. Decrease the INPUT LEVEL control until this symbol
turns off.
BASS and TREBLE tone controls are provided to allow you to adjust the tonal balance of your system during
STEREO MODE operation. The tone controls are
defeated
during surround sound or 5.1 INPUT operation.
Turning the knob
clockwise
will
increase
the BASS or TREBLE. Turning the knob
counterclockwise
will
decrease
the BASS or TREBLE. The TONE button is a tone on/tone defeat button, displayed on screen as TONE when you
press it ON. BASS EQ is provided when the BASS EQ button is pushed. This boosts the bass response by 6 dB at
40 Hz. BASS EQ works in all modes of stereo or surround sound operation. BASS EQ will also function during 5.1
INPUT operation.
The 5.1 CH INPUT will select the output signal from the
optional
RDA 980 Digital Adapter for DOLBY DIGITAL
surround sound. When this button is pressed, the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL display will show in the on screen
display with the settings that are ON shown, such as BASS EQ or TONE. When using the 5.1 CH INPUT,
all
SURROUND SOUND MODE selectsrs on the front panel are deactivated. The channel balance, bass
management, dynamic range adjustment and speaker time alignment for Dolby Digital surround sound decoding
are all controlled by the RDA 980 when the 5.1 channel input is chosen.
The MUTE, PEAK and REMOTE lights on the front panel are provided to confirm proper operation or need for
adjustment. The MUTE light will illuminate when the MUTE function is in use. The PEAK level light shows when
the input is being overloaded. This is related to the OVERLOAD indicator light that is displayed on screen and is
controlled by the INPUT LEVEL controls. The REMOTE light flashes to confirm reception of a remote control
command from the remote control handset.
The VOLUME LEVEL display, on the front panel above the VOLUME control, shows a numerical value for the
VOLUME LEVEL setting. This numerical readout is provided as a convenience to show a visual indication of the
relative volume level setting.
If your neighbors complain about The wide dynamic range of your favorite
soundtracks, consider inviting them over to enjoy the movie!
You can ask them to
bring the popcorn!
CONTROLS ON THE RR 936 REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET
The RR 936 remote control
duplicates
the control buttons on the front panel. In
addtion, we have added MUTE. ON SCREEN, TONE IN, BAL-.CHK, INPUT
sensitivity, SUB volume, REAR (Surround) volume, and OUT BAL (output balance)
buttons. The remote control makes it easy to control the- RSP 970 from your favorite
listening place.
SURROUND MODE LED DISPLAY / ON SCREEN DISPLAY
IMPORTANT USER NOTE: The SURROUND MODE and the INPUT selection
can be linked together, if you wish. To link an INPUT to a particular SURROUND
MODE is easy. Choose the INPUT you wish to link to a particular SURROUND
MODE. Press the SURROUND MODE button on the remote control to select the
SURROUND MODE you want. Now, press the selected INPUT button
continuously
until the VOLUME readout display shows two small horizontal bars. The setting has
now been entered into MEMORY.
For example: To link the CD input to STEREO mode,
begin
by choosing CD as the
input.
Next,
choose the STEREO mode with the SURROUND MODE button on the
remote control.
Then,
press the CD mode button until the two small horizontal bars
appear in the VOLUME readout display. Now you will enter STEREO mode when
you select the CD INPUT.
