RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver
cess the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu,
the current master crossover point will be shown
on this line. Change the value of this line only
if you want the current speaker to have a dif-
ferent crossover point. For example, if your
master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want
your front speakers to crossover to the sub-
woofer at 60 Hz, you would select 60Hz for
the front speakers on this line. This setting ONLY
affects redirected bass and does not affect the
LFE channel in any way. The OFF setting (avail-
able only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range
signal to your subwoofer so that you can use
its built-in low-pass filter.
NOTE
: When a speaker is set to LARGE on
the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this MENU,
the crossover setting is not available since,
by definition, a LARGE speaker plays full-
range with no bass redirection to the sub-
woofer and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF
setting for the subwoofer crossover is not avail-
able for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means
that the speaker will redirect its bass below a
given crossover point to the subwoofer. In
addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not avail-
able for the MULTI INPUT.
DOLBY (large/small/none): Sets the
current speaker (shown in the first line) to
LARGE, SMALL, or NONE, overriding the
master setting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu.
This setting will ONLY take effect with Dolby
Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.
DTS (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with DTS and DTS
Neo:6 decoding.
STEREO/MPEG (large/small/none): The
same options described for Dolby above,
except these settings ONLY take effect in STE-
REO surround mode.
MUSIC (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with any of the DSP
MUSIC surround modes.
NOTE
: When the front speakers are set to use
the master crossover frequency on the AD-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the surround
mode specific “large/small/none” settings
are not available for the other speakers. These
speakers will use the setting determined in
the basic SPEAKER SETUP menu.

MAIN MENU
The SUBWOOFER SETUP menu allows selec-
tion of the master subwoofer crossover fre-
quency and independent adjustment of sub-
woofer level for each surround mode.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz/OFF):
This setting specifies a master low-pass filter
for the subwoofer and a corresponding high-
pass filter for all SMALL speakers in the sys-
tem at the selected frequency. To adjust the
crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER
line using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use
the +/– buttons to chose the master crossover
point. The 80Hz or 100Hz crossover points
are the most common in home theater systems
and should be used unless you have a spe-
cific reason to choose a different crossover
point based on your specific speakers.
The OFF setting sends a full-range signal to
your subwoofer so that you can use its built-
in low-pass filter. With the OFF setting, a 100
Hz high-pass filter is activated for all SMALL
speakers in the system.
NOTE
: The master crossover point can be over-
ridden with a custom crossover frequency for
the front, center, surround, or surround back
speakers in the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP
menu; however, in most systems the single
master crossover point should work well

MULTI INPUT:
These six lines allow you to override the mas-
ter subwoofer level setting as determined on
the TEST TONE menu (see below) for each
specific surround mode. When going to the
SUBWOOFER SETUP menu from the MAIN
menu, the current surround mode is automati-
cally highlighted. Use the +/– buttons to ad-
just the subwoofer level for the current surround
mode. The options are OFF (which turns off
the subwoofer for that mode) and a range of
adjustments from -9dB to +9dB and MAX
(+10dB). A setting of 0dB means that the speci-
fied surround mode will use the master sub-
woofer level. Any other setting is an offset to
the master setting. For example, an adjustment
of -2db for a particular surround mode means
that the subwoofer level will be 2dB quieter
than the master subwoofer level when that
surround mode is selected. Use these subwoofer
level settings to adjust the relative bass out-
put of various surround modes. Changing the
master subwoofer level will increase or de-
crease the level for all surround modes.
NOTE
: Only the current surround mode can
be adjusted on this menu. You will need to
change surround modes using the front panel
or remote buttons to adjust a different mode.
We recommend starting with the settings for
all surround modes at the default 0dB setting
during the test tone calibration of the system
and for a period of familiarization after that.
As you listen to a variety of source material
over time, you may notice that certain surround
modes consistently produce too much or too
little bass from the subwoofer. If so, then use
these menu settings to customize each surround
mode. In general, if the master subwoofer level
is set properly (i.e. not too loud), individual
settings for each surround mode should not
be necessary.
NOTE
: In Dolby Digital and DTS recordings,
the LFE channel is used to produce spectacu-
lar low bass effects, placing considerable de-
mands on your subwoofer system. If you hear
distortion or other signs of distress from your
subwoofer at loud listening levels, you may
consider reducing the subwoofer level for the
Dolby Digital and/or DTS surround modes.
In other surround modes, there is no LFE chan-
nel and the subwoofer will only reproduce
redirected bass from the other channels,
which is not as likely to tax the subwoofer.
To return to the MAIN menu, press the EN-
TER button. Press the MENU/OSD button on
the remote to cancel the display and return
to normal operation.
