RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver
Volume Adjustments
The listening volume of the RSX-1056 can be
adjusted from the front panel or the remote.
Front Panel: Rotate the front panel VOLUME
knob clockwise to increase the volume, coun-
terclockwise to decrease.
Remote: Press the VOL UP button to increase
the volume; press the VOL DOWN button to
decrease.
When you adjust the volume, the setting is
shown on the TV monitor and/or the front panel
display. The current volume setting is also shown
on the SYSTEM STATUS OSD screen.
NOTE
: The VOLUME controls can be used to
change the volume in Zone 2. Press the front-
panel or remote control ZONE button and
adjust the volume. After 10 seconds, the
VOLUME control reverts to normal operation.
Muting the Sound
The volume of the RSX-1056 can be turned
off or muted. Push the MUTE button on the front
panel or the remote once to turn the sound
off. A MUTE indication appears in the OSD
and the front panel displays. Press the MUTE
button again or adjust the volume settings to
restore output levels.
Selecting Inputs
Input Buttons
You can select any of nine source inputs for
listening and/or watching: CD, TUNER, TAPE,
VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VIDEO
5, or MULTI INPUT.
The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN
DISPLAY show the name of the current listen-
ing source selection. The labels for VIDEO
sources can be customized to match your
components.
NOTE
: When the TUNER input source button
is pressed, the frequency of the currently tuned
station is displayed. Pressing the button again
toggles the display to show the word TUNER
instead of the frequency display.
All of the source inputs can be customized using
the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY configuration menus
to accept either analog signals or digital sig-
nals from one of the five assignable digital
inputs. When a digital input is assigned, the
RSX-1056 checks for the presence of a digi-
tal signal at that input. If a digital signal is present
when the source is selected, it is automatically
activated and the proper surround mode en-
abled. If no digital signal is present, the ana-
log inputs for that source are selected. This
auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for
digital source inputs such as DVD players.
When an ANALOG input is assigned, the unit
will not access a digital signal, even though
one may be available at the digital input.
By default, the source input buttons are fac-
tory configured to select the following inputs:
CD: Analog input
Tuner: Analog (built-in)
Tape: Analog input
Video 1: Digital Coaxial 1
Video 2: Digital Coaxial 2
Video 3: Digital Coaxial 3
Video 4: Digital Optical 1
Video 5: Digital Optical 2
Each source input should be configured us-
ing the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu system to
use the desired input type (analog or digital
auto-sensing). See the INPUT MENU section
for configuration instructions.
NOTE
: In addition to selecting analog or digital
signals, the configuration options also permit
custom labeling and selection of a default sur-
round mode for each of the eight inputs.
The input source buttons can also be used (with
the REC button described in the next section)
to select an analog input source signal to be
available at the outputs for recording. Addi-
tionally, the input source buttons can be used
with the ZONE button to select an analog input
source for ZONE 2.
Selecting a Source Input from
the Front Panel
To select a source for LISTENING: Press
one of the eight INPUT buttons or the MULTI

the REC button and then press one of the eight
INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.
To select a source for Zone 2: Press the
ZONE button and then press one of the IN-
PUT buttons within 10 seconds.
NOTE
: See the section on Zone 2 operations
for details of selecting a source for the re-
mote zone.
Selecting a Source from the
Remote
To select a source for LISTENING in the
main room: press and hold one of the DE-
VICE/INPUT buttons for more than one sec-
ond. To select the MULTI INPUT, press and hold
the EXT button.
NOTE
: A short press of a DEVICE/INPUT but-
ton changes the remote control device only,
but does not change the source input.
To select a source for RECORDING: Press
the REC button. Then, press and hold one of
the DEVICE/INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.
Alternatively, you can press the REC button and
then use the +/– buttons to scroll through the
available source options. Select any input (CD,
TUNER, TAPE, or VIDEO 1–5). Selecting the
SOURCE option links the recording source to
the input selected for main room listening.
Whatever input is selected for listening is also
sent to the record outputs.
To select a source for Zone 2: Press the
ZONE button. Then, press and hold one of
the DEVICE/INPUT buttons within 10 seconds.
Alternatively, you can press the ZONE button
and then use the +/– buttons to scroll through
the available source options. Select any input
(CD, TUNER, TAPE, or VIDEO 1–5). Select-
ing the SOURCE option links the Zone 2 source
to the input selected for main room listening.
Whatever input is selected for the main room
is also sent to the Zone 2 outputs.
Selecting Digital Inputs
A default digital audio input can be specified
for each source input using the
Input Setup
menu. However, you can override the default
digital input for the currently selected source
by pressing the D-SLT button on the remote.
Each press of the button steps to the next digital
input in order: OPTICAL 1, OPTICAL 2, CO-
AXIAL 1, COAXIAL2, COAXIAL 3. The actual
choices you see will be limited to those inputs
with an active digital signal connected, so you
may not see all of the inputs listed.
