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 unit's digital processing. The INPUT, CINEMA
EQ, DEFAULT MODE and GROUP DELAY options are not available since
these are all digitally implemented features.
The VID INPUT, INPUT LABEL, INPUT ATT and 12V TRIGGER options are
still available and work as described on the previous menu.
One additional option, LFE REDIRECT, provides an alternative bass
management configuration. 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 subwoofer channel will be sent
to the subwoofer preamp output.
This configuration may not be ideal for multichannel systems configured
with high-pass speakers, redirecting bass to a powered subwoofer . An
option, called LFE REDIRECT, sends the seven main channels directly to
the outputs as usual. In addition, it takes a duplicate copy of these seven
channels, combines them into mono, and routes them through a 100Hz
analog low-pass crossover to the subwoofer preamp output. This creates
a summed mono subwoofer signal, derived from the seven main channels
of the MULTI INPUT.
Use the LFE REDIRECT OFF setting for the pure analog bypass configuration.
Use the LFE REDIRECT ON setting to derive the mono summed subwoofer
output.

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is selected as the default surround mode on
the INPUT SETUP menu, there are additional settings and parameters to
optimize the surround decoding for music or movie soundtracks. Dolby
Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding algorithms to derive a center channel
and surround channels from 2-channel source material.
The first line of the Dolby Pro Logic IIx sub-menu selects CINEMA, MUSIC,
GAME, or PRO LOGIC modes for matrix decoding. Use the LEFT/RIGHT
buttons on the remote to select a mode.

RSP-1580 SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR
Select CINEMA to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded movie soundtracks
including increased surround separation and full-bandwidthsurround
channel frequency response.
Select MUSIC to optimize for musical recordings. When the MUSIC mode is
selected, three additional parameters will be available on the OSD screen.
Use the Up/Down buttons on the remote to select a parameter. Use the
LEFT/RIGHT buttons to change the selected parameter as follows:
The Panorama option extends the front stereo image to
PANORAMA:
include the surround speakers for a dramatic "wraparound" effect.
The options are OFF or ON.
The Dimension option allows you to gradually adjust
DIMENSION:
the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear. There are
seven incremental settings from 0 to 6. A setting of 0 shifts the
soundfield towards the rear for maximum surround effect. A setting
of 6 shifts the soundfield to the front for minimum surround effect.
The default setting of 3 provides a "neutral" balance between the
two extremes.
CENTER WIDTH:
The Center Width option allows you to spread
the signal intended for the center speaker to the left and right
front speakers, widening the perceived soundfield. There are eight
incremental settings from 0 to 7. With the default setting of 3, there is
no center width spreading and all of the center channel information
is sent to the center speaker . The maximum setting of 7 shifts all of
the center channel signal to the left and right speakers, essentially
muting the center speaker and maximizing the soundfield width. Other
settings provide incremental steps between the two extremes.
Select GAME to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded video games.
Select PRO LOGIC for original Dolby Pro Logic decoding. Typically, Pro
Logic II (Cinema or Music modes) will provide better surround performance,
even with older source material. Original Pro Logic mode provides 5.1
channel surround sound, even on 6.1/7.1 channel systems.
When you have completed all the desired adjustments, highlight the INPUT
SETUP MENU line at the bottom of the screen and press the ENTER button
to return to the INPUT SETUP menu (or just press the ENTER button).

DTS Neo:6

When DTS Neo:6 is selected as the default surround mode on the INPUT
SETUP menu, there are additional option settings and parameters available
to optimize the surround decoding for various types of recordings, music
or movie soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 uses matrix decoding algorithms to
derive a center channel and surround channels from 2-channel source
material.
