RSX-1065 Surround Sound Receiver
SUR+ Button
The SUR+ button on the remote selects the sur-
round modes described in the previous sec-
tion. Each time you press the button, the sur-
round mode cycles to the next setting (Dolby
Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo, Music 1 – 4, 5CH
Stereo, 7CH Stereo, and Stereo) as indicated
by the front-panel display and an ON-SCREEN
DISPLAY indicator. Repeatedly press the but-
ton until you reach the desired setting.
NOTE
: These surround modes may not be avail-
able for all source material. Many types of
digital sources automatically trigger a spe-
cific type of surround decoding, which can-
not be overridden.
Speaker Level Adjustment
Selection Buttons
UP/DOWN Buttons
The levels of all channels should be calibrated
using test tones with an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY
menu during the initial setup of the RSX-1065.
You can also make a temporary change in
the relative volume of the center, rear, or sub-
woofer channels using buttons on the remote
control:
1. Press one of the selection buttons on the
remote to select a channel (or pair of chan-
nels) for adjustment. Press the C button
to adjust the CENTER channel. Press the
S button
to adjust the SUBWOOFER
channel. Press the R button
to adjust
the rear SURROUND or CENTER BACK
channels (each press of the R button toggles
between the SURROUND channels and the
CENTER BACK channels). The selected
speaker and its current setting appear briefly
in the display.
2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons
on the
remote to adjust the output level of the se-
lected channel(s).
3. Repeat the procedure for each channel.
If no level adjustment is made for 5 seconds
after pressing one of the selection buttons, the
levels revert to the default calibrated settings.
NOTE
: This adjustment is temporary. Selecting
a different input or turning the unit off and
one will cause the settings to revert to the
default levels.
NOTE
: The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY calibration
permits independent adjustment of each sur-
round channel. The adjustment procedure de-
scribed here only allows changing the relative
volume of all surround channels in unison.
DYNAMIC RANGE Button
DWN Button
Digital sources are capable of wide dynamic
range (the difference between the softest and
loudest sounds). In some cases, this may tax
amplifiers and/or speakers. In other cases,
you may want to reduce the dynamic range
when listening at low volume levels. Pressing
the front-panel DYNAMIC RANGE button (or
the DWN button on the remote) steps through
the three dynamic range settings:
• MAX (no compression/full dynamic range)
• MID (moderate compression)
• MIN (full compression/minimum dynamic
range)
A “D. RANGE” indicator in the front-panel dis-
play lights when the dynamic range is not set
to the MAX setting. The new dynamic range
setting appears briefly in the alphanumeric
display when the setting is changed.
NOTE
: The DYNAMIC RANGE feature is only
available in Dolby Digital mode. It is inactive
at all other times.
Tuner Controls
The RSX-1065 features a digital synthesized
AM/FM tuner with RDS capability and 30
station presets. The unit offers a wide range
of tuning options. Here is an overview of the
tuning options (more detailed information is
provided in subsequent sections of this manual):
• Manual frequency tuning tunes up or
down to the next station frequency (when
in frequency tuning mode). Press and re-
lease a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN
on the remote) to tune.
• Direct frequency tuning lets you en-
ter the desired station frequency digits. Press
the DIRECT button and enter the digits us-
ing the NUMERIC buttons.
• Automatic frequency search tuning
searches up or down to find the next re-
ceivable broadcast signal. Press and hold
a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the
remote) for at least one second to search
up or down.
• Station preset tuning lets you directly
enter the number of a memorized station
preset. Enter the number of the memorized
preset using the NUMERIC buttons.
• Preset search tuning jumps up/down
to the next memorized station preset. When
in PRESET mode, press a TUNING button
(CH UP/DOWN on the remote) to select
the next station preset. Press the PRESET
button on the remote to toggle between
preset and frequency tuning modes.
• RDS (Europe) or RBDS (USA) tuning
provides a range of special tuning and
search features based on data codes en-
coded with the broadcast signal. See the
RDS section of this manual for detailed
information.
NOTE
: The RSX-1065 comes preconfigured for
tuning in the market where you purchased it
(N. America or Europe). To change this default
setting, see the information on the DEFAULT
SETUP on-screen menu later in this manual.
