RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver
NOTE
: DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Dis-
crete 6.1, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital, MP3,
MPEG Multichannel, HDCD (96kHz), and
PCM 2-channel (96kHz) digital signals are
auto-detected and cannot be overridden.
However, you can choose to use Dolby Digi-
tal Surround EX decoding for any Dolby Digi-
tal 5.1 source material. You can also downmix
Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 recordings for
2-channel playback.
• HDCD (non 96kHz) and PCM 2-channel
(non 96kHz) digital signals can be over-
ridden to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Ste-
reo, DTS Neo:6, Music 1 – 4, 5CH Ste-
reo, 7CH Stereo, and Stereo.
• Dolby Digital 2-channel Stereo can be over-
ridden to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Ste-
reo, and Stereo.
The following topics describe in detail the
manual surround mode options available for
each type of recording:
Dolby Digital 5.1 discs
Dolby Digital Surround EX discs
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however, select
a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel record-
ings. In a 6.1ch or 7.1 ch system, you can
also choose Dolby Surround EX, Dolby Pro
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema
(7.1ch only), or Rotel XS processing for cen-
ter back channels.
NOTE
: In addition to the options that follow,
you can press the 2CH button on the front
panel or the remote to toggle between 2-chan-
nel downmix and multichannel playback.
• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then press the +/– but-
tons to change between DD 5.1 channel
or DD 2.0 channel downmix playback.
• On a 6.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then use the +/– but-
tons to step through five options: DD 2.0
channel downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Sur-
round EX center back processing, DD with
Pro Logic IIx Music center back process-
ing or DD with Rotel XS center back pro-
cessing. You should typically select Surround
EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital
Surround EX. For standard 5.1 channel
discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel
XS processing will provide a more diffuse
surround effect than the more highly local-
ized Dolby EX decoding and will probably
be the better 6.1 channel options for non-
Surround EX discs. Selecting DD 5.1 forces
the center back channel processing off for
conventional 5.1 channel playback. You
can also repeatedly press the DOLBY PLII/
3ST button on the front panel until the de-
sired center back channel option is selected.
• On a 7.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then use the +/– but-
tons to step through six optons: DD 2.0
channel downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Sur-
round EX center back processing, DD with
Pro Logic IIx Music center back process-
ing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema back
channel processing, or DD with Rotel XS
center back processing. You should typi-
cally select Surround EX or discs that are
labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. For
standard 5.1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music or Rotel XS processing will pro-
vide a more diffused surround effect than
the more highly localized Dolby EX decod-
ing and may be the better 7.1 channel
options for non-Surround EX discs. Select-
ing DD 5.1 forces the center back chan-
nel processing off for conventional 5.1
channel playback. You can also repeatedly
press the DOLBY PLII/3ST button on the front
panel until the desired center back chan-
nel option is selected.
NOTE
: When playing any Dolby Digital source,
you can select one of three dynamic range
control settings. See the Dynamic Range topic
in the Other Settings section of this manual.
Dolby Digital 2.0 discs
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however, select
2-channel playback, 5.1 channel playback with
Pro Logic II matrix surround, 6.1/7.1 chan-
nel playback with Pro Logic IIx matrix surround,
or Dolby 3-Stereo playback.
• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then use the +/– but-
tons to step through four optons: DD 2.0
channel, DD with Pro Logic II Cinema matrix
surround, DD with Pro Logic II Music ma-
trix surround, or Dolby Digital 3 channel
stereo. You can also repeatedly press the
2CH button on the front panel or the re-
mote to select the same options.
• On a 6.1/7.1 system. Press the SUR+
button on the remote, then use the +/– but-
tons to step through four optons: DD 2.0
channel, DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema
matrix surround, DD with Pro Logic IIx Music
matrix surround, or Dolby Digital 3 chan-
nel stereo. You can also repeatedly press
the 2CH button on the front panel or the
remote to select the same options.
• To select Cinema or Music options
in Pro Logic II or Pro Logic IIx modes.
Press the SUR+ button twice while in Pro
Logic II or Pro Logic IIx modes. Then, use
the +/– buttons to select the Music or Cin-
ema options.

control settings. See the Dynamic Range topic
in the Other Settings section of this manual.
DTS 5.1 discs
DTS 96/24 discs
DTS-ES 6.1 discs
DTS decoding is auto-detected and cannot be
overridden. You may, however, select a 2
channel downmix of 5.1 channel recordings
or add Rotel XS center back processing for
5.1 channel discs.
NOTE
: In addition to the options that follow,
you can press the 2CH button on the remote
to toggle between 2-channel downmix and
multichannel playback.
• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then press the +/– but-
tons to change between DTS 5.1 channel
or DTS 2.0 channel downmix playback.
• On a 6.1/7.1 system with a DTS 5.1
disc. Press the SUR+ button on the remote,
then use the +/– buttons to step through
the optional modes: DTS 2.0 channel down-
mix, DTS 5.1 channel, DTS with Rotel XS
center back processing, DTS with Pro Logic
IIx Music center back processing, or DTS
with Pro Logic IIx Cinema center back pro-
cessing (available only for 7.1 channel
systems). Selecting DTS 5.1 forces the center
back channel processing off for conven-
tional 5.1 channel playback. You can also
repeatedly press the DTS Neo:6 button on
the front panel until the desired option is
selected.
