LARGE and SMALL configurations is that
the bass response may not be as consis-
tent from channel to channel as it might
be with the all SMALL configuration.
NOTE
: As an alternative configuration with a
satellite/subwoofer package as the front
speakers, follow the speaker manufacturer’s
instructions, connecting the high-level inputs
of the powered subwoofer directly to the front
speaker outputs of the RSX-1056 and con-
necting the satellites to the subwoofer’s own
crossover. In this arrangement, the speakers
would be classified as LARGE and the sub-
woofer setting would be OFF for all surround
modes. No information is lost during play-
back because the system redirects bass infor-
mation to the front LARGE speakers. While
this configuration ensures proper satellite
speaker operation by using the speaker’s own
crossovers, it has some disadvantages in terms
of system calibration and would generally not
be the preferred configuration.

MAIN MENU
The SPEAKER SETUP menu is used to config-
ure the RSX-1056 for use with your specific
loudspeakers and to determine the bass man-
agement configuration as described in the
previous overview. The menu is accessed from
the MAIN menu.
The following speaker options are available:
FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): Use the
LARGE setting to have the front speakers play
low bass (full-range). Use the SMALL setting
to redirect normal bass away from these speak-
ers to a subwoofer (high-pass filtered).
CENTER SPEAKER(S) (large/small/
none): Use the LARGE position (not available
with SMALL front speakers) to have the cen-
ter speaker play low bass (full-range). Use the
SMALL position if your center channel speaker
has limited low frequency capability, or if you
prefer that the bass be sent to the subwoofer
(high-pass). Select the NONE setting if your
system does not have a center channel speaker
(the surround modes will automatically divide
all center channel information equally between
the two front speakers, creating a phantom
center channel).
SURROUND SPEAKERS (large/small/
none): Select the LARGE setting (not avail-
able with SMALL front speakers) to have the
surround speakers play low bass (full-range).
If your rear speakers have limited bass capa-
bility or if you would prefer that the bass go
to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (high-
pass). If your system has no rear surround speak-
ers, select the NONE setting (surround chan-
nels are added to the front speakers so none
of the recording is lost).
CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/
large2/small1/small2/none): Some
systems have one or two additional center back
surround speakers. Select the LARGE settings
(not available with SMALL front speakers) to
have your center back speaker(s) play low bass.
Use LARGE 1 if you have one center back
speaker (6.1) or LARGE 2 (7.1) if you have
two center back speakers (7.1). If your cen-
ter back speakers have limited bass capabil-
ity or if you would prefer that the bass go to
a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (SMALL1
for one speaker, SMALL2 for two speakers).
If your system has no center back speakers,
select the NONE setting. With center back
speakers, the Rotel XS eXtra surround, Dolby
Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS
Neo:6 or other decoders will provide center
back signals for any surround mode.
SUBWOOFER (yes/no/max): The YES set-
ting is the standard setting if your system has
a subwoofer. If your system does not have a
subwoofer, select NO. Select the MAX setting
for maximum bass output with normal bass
being duplicated by both the subwoofer and
any LARGE speakers in the system.
ADVANCED: Speaker configuration is gener-
ally a global setting for all surround modes
and need only be done once. However, for
special circumstances, the RSX-1056 provides
the option of setting the speaker configuration
independently for each of four surround modes.
Select the ADVANCED line on the menu and
press ENTER to go to the ADVANCED SPEAKER
SETUP menu described in the following sec-
tion.
To change a setting on the SPEAKER SETUP
menu, place the highlight on the desired line
using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the +/
– buttons to toggle through the available set-
tings. To return to the MAIN menu, press the
ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button
on the remote to cancel the display and re-
turn to normal operation.

SPEAKER SETUP MENU
In most cases, the standard speaker configu-
ration described above is a global setting and
can be used for all surround modes. However,
the RSX-1056 provides the capability to cus-
tomize these settings for four different surround
modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and Music. For
example, you could set up the Dolby and DTS
modes for 5.1 channel sound, while the Ste-
reo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with
or without a subwoofer. In addition, the AD-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to se-
lect a customized high-pass crossover frequency
for the front, center, surround, and surround
back speakers.
NOTE
: In most systems, the default settings on
this menu will provide the most predictable
results and most users will not need to change
any settings. You should fully understand bass
management and have a specific reason for
needing a custom configuration before chang-
ing these settings. Otherwise, skip to the fol-
lowing topic, SUBWOOFER SETUP.
The available settings on the ADVANCED
SPEAKER SETUP menu are as follows:
SPEAKER (front/center/surround/cen-
ter back/subwoofer): Select the set of
speakers to be configured with custom settings.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi-
cally, the RSX-1056 uses a single master set-
ting for the high-pass and low-pass crossover
point between all SMALL speakers and the
subwoofer. This master crossover point is set
on the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu described
in the following section. When you first ac-
