Two of the default surround mode settings
available on this menu offer additional choices.
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers a choice
of CINEMA or MUSIC settings. DTS Neo:6
decoding offers a choice of CINEMA or MUSIC
settings. When either Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS
Neo:6 is selected with this menu item, the
current setting choice will also be displayed.
In addition, the function of the ENTER button
changes, taking you to a sub-menu where you
can change the settings and/or additional
parameters for Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6
decoding. See the following section for de-
tails.
GROUP DELAY: Also known as “lip-sync”
delay, this setting delays the audio signal for
an input by the specified amount to match the
video input. This feature can be useful when
the video signal is delayed more than the audio
signal as sometimes happens with upconverted
digital TV processors or when trying to match
a radio broadcast with the video from a sports
event.
The range of available settings is from 0ms
to 500ms, in 5ms increments. The setting is
individually stored for each input and is the
default group delay each time that input is se-
lected. The setting can be temporarily over-
ridden from the front panel or the remote.
OPTIONS: This selection is only visible when
Pro Logic II or Neo:6 surround mode is selected.
Highlight this line and press ENTER to go to
submenus with additional options for these
surround modes. See below.
To return to the MAIN menu from the INPUT
SETUP menu (except when Dolby Pro Logic II
or DTS Neo:6 is selected in the SURR MODE
field), press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/
OSD button on the remote to cancel the menu
display and return to normal operation.

MAIN MENU
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 RSX-1056’s
digital processing. The INPUT, CINEMA EQ,
and DEFAULT MODE options are not available
since these are all digitally implemented fea-
tures.
The VID INPUT, INPUT LABEL, and 12V TRIG-
GER options are still available and work as
described on the previous menu.
One additional option, LFE REDIRECT, provides
an alternative bass management configura-
tion. 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, by-
passing all of the digital processing. There are
no crossovers and no bass management; there-
fore, whatever signal goes into the subwoofer
channel will be sent to the subwoofer preamp
output.
This configuration may not be ideal for multi-
channel systems configured with high-pass
speakers, redirecting bass to a powered sub-
woofer. An option, called LFE REDIRECT, sends
the seven main channels directly to the out-
puts as usual. In addition, it takes a duplicate
copy of these seven channels, combines them
into mono, and routes them through a 100
Hz 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 for the pure analog
bypass configuration. Use the LFE REDIRECT
on setting to derive the mono summed sub-
woofer output.

INPUT SETUP MENU
When Dolby Pro Logic II (x) is selected as the
default surround mode on the INPUT SETUP
menu, there are additional settings and pa-
rameters 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 II (x) sub-
menu selects CINEMA or MUSIC modes for
matrix decoding. Use the +/– buttons on the
remote to select a mode.
Select CINEMA to optimize for Dolby Surround
encoded movie soundtracks including in-
creased surround separation and full-bandwidth
surround channel frequency response.
Select MUSIC to optimize for musical record-
ings. 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 +/
– buttons to change the selected parameter
as follows:
PANORAMA: The Panorama option
extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for a dramatic “wrap-
around” effect. The options are OFF or ON.
DIMENSION: The Dimension option al-
lows you to gradually adjust 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 to-
wards the rear for maximum surround ef-
fect. 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 0, there is
