Contour Setup; Miscellaneous Settings; Other Options - Rotel RSX-1058 Owner's Manual

RSX-1058 Surround Sound Receiver
when the speakers are not all placed at equal
distances from the listener. Increase the delay
to speakers located closer to the seating area
and decrease the delay to speakers located
farther from the seating area.
The RSX-1058 makes setting the delay time for
each speaker very easy. Simply measure the
distance (in feet or meters) from your seating
position to each speaker in your system. Set
the measured distance in the line for each
speaker. The menu provides a line for each
speaker configured in your system and pro-
vides a range of settings up to 99 feet (30
meters) in 1 foot (0.3 m) increments with
each increment equivalent to an additional
delay of 1ms.
To change a setting, place the highlight on
the desired line using the UP/DOWN but-
tons and use the +/– buttons to increase
or decrease the delay setting. To return to
the MAIN menu, press the ENTER button.
Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote
to cancel the display and return to normal
operation.
NOTE: If you have configured your system to
use two center back speakers, there will be an
additional line in the menu, giving you the abil-
ity to independently adjust the CENTER BACK
1 and CENTER BACK 2 speakers.

The CONTOUR SETUP menu allows digital
adjustment of the bass and treble response
of each group of speakers in the system.
For example, if your center channel speaker
sounds too bright, you could roll off the ex-
treme high frequencies.
SPEAKER (front/center/surround/
center back/all): Select which speaker
or group of speakers to adjust. Selecting
ALL allows adjustment of the entire system
as a whole.
DEFEAT (on/off): Selecting the ON setting
defeats the contour adjustment, bypassing the
contour processing entirely for that speaker
or group of speakers.
HF CONTOUR: Adjusts the extreme high
frequency slope over a range of -6dB (MIN)
to +6dB (MAX). Negative number settings
reduce the high frequency output; positive
number settings increase it.
LF CONTOUR: Adjusts the extreme low fre-
quency slope over a range of -6dB (MIN)
to +6dB (MAX). Negative number settings
reduce the low frequency output; positive
number settings increase it.
The contour adjustments are designed to work
at the frequency extremes and be relatively
subtle so that they do not have a negative
impact on midrange sounds. We recom-
mend acclimating to the sound of the sys-
tem with the contour adjustments defeated
and then making adjustments, if necessary,
to address specific speaker response issues
or personal taste.
NOTE: You can also make temporary contour
adjustments using the TONE and UP/DOWN
buttons on the remote. See the Contour/Tone
Settings section of this manual for details.

This OTHER OPTIONS menu, accessed from
the MAIN menu, provides access to several
miscellaneous settings as follows:
RECORD: Select which source signal to be
sent to the recording outputs by choosing one
of the input sources. The options are: CD, TAPE,
TUNER, VIDEO 1–5, and SOURCE. You can
either select a specific component or select
SOURCE which will send the signal to the re-
cord outputs from whatever source is selected
for listening. The default is SOURCE.
44
TURN ON VOL: Specifies a default volume
level to be used each time the RSX-1058 is
activated. You can select LAST to have the
RSX-1058 power up with the last previously
used volume setting. Or, you specify a vol-
ume from MIN (full mute) to MAX, in 1dB
increments. Note that this setting cannot ex-
ceed the MAX VOL established in the next
line of the menu.
MAX VOL: Specifies the maximum volume
level for the RSX-1058. The volume cannot be
adjusted above this level. Settings range from
MIN to MAX, in 1dB increments.
POWER: This setting determines how the
RSX-1058 powers up.
With the default STANDBY setting, the unit
powers up in standby mode when AC is ap-
plied and the rear panel POWER button is
ON. The unit must be activated using the
front panel STANDBY button or the remote
ON/OFF buttons.
With the DIRECT setting, the unit is fully ac-
tivated when AC power is applied and the
rear panel POWER button is ON; however,
it may be put in standby mode using the front
panel STANDBY button or the remote ON/
OFF buttons.
In ALWAYS-ON mode, the unit remains fully
active whenever AC is present and the rear
panel POWER button is ON; the front panel
STANDBY button and the remote ON/OFF
buttons are disabled and the unit cannot be
put in standby mode.
In RESUME mode, the RSX-1058 will return to
the last power condition setting when switched
on. For example, when the AC mains power
is switched OFF during operation, it will return
to operating mode when the mains power is
switched on again.
LANGUAGE: Selects a language for the
On Screen Display.
Change settings on the OTHER OPTIONS
menu by highlighting the desired line using
the UP/DOWN buttons and using the +/– but-
tons to step through the available settings. To
return to the MAIN menu, press the ENTER
button. Press the MENU/OSD button on the
remote to cancel the display and return to
normal operation.
