Analog Stereo
This type of recording includes any conven-
tional stereo signal from the RSP-1098’s ana-
log inputs, including analog audio from CD
players, FM tuners, VCRs, tape decks, etc.
Analog stereo inputs require a fundamental
choice about how the signal is routed through
the RSP-1098. One option is the analog by-
pass mode. In this mode, the stereo signal is
routed directly to the volume control and the
outputs. It is pure 2-channel stereo, bypass-
ing all of the digital circuitry. None of the bass
management features, speaker level settings,
contour settings, or delay settings are active.
There is no subwoofer output. A full-range signal
is sent directly to two speakers.
The other option converts the analog inputs
to digital signals, passing them through the
digital processors in the RSP-1098. This op-
tion allows all of the features to be active in-
cluding bass management settings, crossovers,
subwoofer outputs, contour settings, etc. In this
mode, you can select several surround modes
including 2-CH Stereo, Dolby 3-Stereo, 5-CH
Stereo, 7-CH Stereo modes. You can also use
Dolby Pro Logic II surround, DTS Neo:6 sur-
round, or one of the MUSIC 1-4 DSP modes.
NOTE
: In addition to the options that follow,
you can select Pro Logic II Cinema, Pro Logic
II Music, 5-channel stereo, or 7-channel ste-
reo by pressing one of the surround mode
buttons on the remote (PLC, PLM, 5CH, 7CH).

mode for 2-channel analog record-
ings. Press the 2CH button on the remote

cessing) or Analog Bypass (no digital pro-
cessing) modes.

nel analog recordings. Repeatedly

desired mode is displayed. On the front

log Bypass).
