RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver
NOTE
: Several indicators in the front-panel dis-
play assist tuning. A large display shows the
tuned frequency. A TUNED indicator lights
when a sufficiently strong signal is received.
A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal
is received.
MEMORY Button
The MEMORY button is used with the NUMERIC
buttons to store memorized station presets. See
the next section for detailed instructions.
NUMERIC Buttons:
Station Presets
The RSX-1056 can store up to 30 station pre-
sets for recall at any time using the NUMERIC
buttons on the front panel. To memorize a sta-
tion:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front-
panel. A MEMORY indicator will flash for
five seconds in the front-panel display.
3. While the MEMORY indicator is flashing,
press the number of the preset where you
wish to store the station frequency. For
example, to memorize the station as pre-
set 3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset
15, press the 1 button followed by the 5
button.
4. A previously stored frequency is erased from
memory when a new frequency is memo-
rized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station, just
press the preset number on the NUMERIC
buttons. For example, to tune to preset 3, press
the 3 button. To tune to preset 15, press the 1
button and then press the 5 button.
NOTE
: If the TUNER is not already the selected
input, pressing a NUMERIC button on the front-
panel activates the TUNER. If using the NU-
MERIC buttons on the remote, first manually
select the tuner input, if not already active.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for
direct access tuning (see next section).
DIRECT Button
FRQ DIRECT Button
If you know the frequency of the desired sta-
tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT
button and the NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the DIRECT button on the front panel
or the FRQ DIRECT button on the remote
to change the NUMERIC buttons from sta-
tion preset to Direct Access mode. The sta-
tion frequency in the front-panel display will
change to a series of four bars, represent-
ing the digits of a station frequency, with
the first bar flashing.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency
using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will
appear in the frequency display and the
second bar will flash. Enter the remaining
digits of the frequency. When all of the
necessary digits have been entered, the
receiver will tune to the displayed station
frequency. Note that entering a station fre-
quency is slightly different for the USA and
Europe:
In the USA:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9
AM1410kHz Press: 1>4>1
In Europe:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5>0
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9>0
AM1413kHz Press: 1>4>1>3
MONO Button
FM MONO Button
The MONO button on the front panel or the
FM MONO button on the remote change the
FM mode from stereo reception to mono re-
ception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will
be heard if the station is broadcasting a ste-
reo signal and there is sufficient signal strength.
An ST indicator will light in the front-panel
display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be
heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo
signal.
NOTE
: Switching to mono mode can improve
the reception of weak or distant FM signals.
Less signal strength is required for clean mono
reception than for stereo reception.
TUNE Button
PRESET Button
P-TUN Button
These remote control buttons are used to change
between FREQUENCY tuning mode and PRE-
SET tuning mode. In frequency tuning mode,
the TUNING buttons (CH UP/DOWN on the
remote ) advance to the next station frequency.
In preset tuning mode, the TUNING buttons
advance to the next memorized station pre-
set.
Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by press-
ing the TUNE button on the remote. Select the
PRESET tuning mode by pressing the PRESET
button on the remote. Toggle between the two
modes by pressing the P-TUN button. A PRE-
SET indicator appears in the display when PRE-
SET TUNING is activated.
SCAN Button
This button activates a preset scanning feature.
When you press the button, the tuner begins
scanning through all memorized station pre-
sets, playing each for 5 seconds before mov-
ing to the next. To stop the station scanning
when the desired station preset is reached,
press the button again.
NOTE
: If a PRESET station is currently tuned
when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed,
scanning will start with the next higher preset
number and continue through all presets, stop-
ping on the initial preset. If a PRESET station
is not currently tuned when the button is
pressed, scanning will start from PRESET 1
and continue to PRESET 30.
