VIDEO: the currently selected video source
AUDIO: the currently selected audio source
VIDEO REC: the currently selected source for VIDEO 1 REC outputs
AUDIO REC: the currently selected source for audio recording,
cannot be independently changed
INPUT GAIN: the gain setting of the current audio source. Adjust
this if the source is noticeable louder or quieter than the other
sources.There are seven options; -3/-6/-9dB reduce the level,
+3/+6/+9dB increase the level.
5.1 CH INPUT: whether or not the 5.1 channel input is active
INPUT SOURCE: AUTO or ANALOG. With the AUTO setting (the
factory default), the selected input source will check first to see if
there is a signal present at the digital inputs. If so, it will play the
digital signal, automatically activating DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS sur-
round processing depending on the source. If no digital signal is
present, the analog inputs will be automatically enabled for that
source. With the ANALOG setting, the automatic sensing is dis-
abled and the system will always revert to the analog inputs. A
digital signal will be ignored even if present and there will be no
DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS processing. Generally, this setting should
be left in the default AUTO mode unless you wish to override the
digital inputs for some reason.
Change any setting by moving the cursor to the desired line using
the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote or the NUMERIC Keypad
front panel buttons (
), adjust the setting using the ENTER but-
tons. Return to the MAIN menu by pressing the BACK button. Turn
off the On-Screen Display by pressing MENU.

BACK-return MENU-screen off
The SURROUND MODE menu provides status information and
configuration options pertaining to the surround operation. This
screen is available from the MAIN menu. The screen displays the
following status information:
MODE: the currently selected surround sound mode (PRO LOGIC,
DSP, 3-STEREO, etc.) Remember that Dolby Digital and DTS are
automatically enabled based on source material encoding and,
therefore, no setting is required.
DELAY TIME (center): the current delay setting for the center
channel speaker; only available in Dolby Digital mode
DELAY TIME (rear): the current delay setting for the rear surround
speakers
In many systems, the factory delay settings will be satisfactory.
However, delay times may need to be adjusted depending on the
relative distance from the listening position to the front and rear
speakers so that you do not hear, for example, an explosion in a
soundtrack start in the rear of the room instead of the front. In-
crease the relative delay to the rear speakers if they are located
closer to the seating area than the front speakers.
Change a setting by moving the cursor to the desired line using
the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote or the NUMERIC Keypad
front panel buttons (
), adjust the setting using the ENTER re-
mote button. Return to the MAIN menu by pressing the BACK but-
ton. Cancel the On-Screen Display by pressing the MENU button.

DOWN–selection VOLUME–change

This menu adjusts the relative volume levels of the front, center,
and rear speakers to be equal for proper Dolby Digital and DTS re-
production. For best results, you should perform the test tone cali-
bration in DOLBY DIGITAL surround mode. To do this, you will need
to play a Dolby Digital source so that the RSX-965 can automati-
cally sense it and activate the DOLBY DIGITAL mode. Then, enter
the On-Screen Menu system and select TEST TONE from the
MAIN menu to reach this screen. If you adjust this menu while in
PRO LOGIC mode, only one of the rear adjustments will be avail-
able as the two rear speakers share a common signal in PRO
LOGIC mode.
When you enter the TEST TONE menu, you will hear a test tone
coming from the highlighted speaker. Highlight different speakers
by moving the cursor to the desired line using the UP/DOWN but-
tons on the remote or the NUMERIC Keypad front panel buttons
(
). The test tone will shift accordingly to the selected speaker.
While seated in the normal listening location, switch the test tone
to the various speakers. Using the front speakers as a fixed refer-
ence (there is no adjustment for the front), listen to hear if the
center speaker or the rear speakers are noticeably louder or qui-
eter than the front speakers. If so, adjust the speaker’s volume
levels up or down to match the front speakers using the VOL UP/
DOWN remote buttons. Continue switching among the speakers
and adjusting until the center speaker and both of the rear speak-
ers sound as loud as the front speakers.
