MAIN MENU
The SPEAKER SETUP menu is used to con-
figure the RSX-1057 for use with your specif
-
ic loudspeakers and to determine the bass
management configuration as described in
the previous overview. The menu is accessed
from the MAIN menu.
The following speaker options are avail
-
able:
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 speakers to a subwoofer (high-pass
filtered).
CENTER SPEAKER(S) (large/small/
none): Use the LARGE position (not avail
-
able with SMALL front speakers) to have the
center speaker play low bass (full-range).
Use the SMALL position if your center chan
-
nel speaker has limited low frequency capa
-
bility, 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 au
-
tomatically divide all center channel informa
-
tion 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
speakers, select the NONE setting (surround
channels are added to the front speakers so
none of the recording is lost).
CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/
large2/small1/small2/none): Some sys-
tems 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
center back speakers have limited bass ca
-
pability 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 eXtended
surround, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby
Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6 or other decoders
will provide center back signals for any sur
-
round 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-1057 provides
the option of setting the speaker configura
-
tion independently for each of four surround
modes. Select the ADVANCED line on the
menu and press ENTER to go to the AD
-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu described
in the following section.
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
settings. To return to the MAIN menu, press
the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD but-
ton on the remote to cancel the display and
return to normal operation.

SPEAKER SETUP MENU
In most cases, the standard speaker config-
uration described above is a global setting
and can be used for all surround modes.
However, the RSX-1057 provides the capa
-
bility to customize these settings for four dif
-
ferent 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 Stereo mode changes to a
2-speaker setup with or without a subwoofer.
In addition, the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP
allows you to select a customized high-pass
crossover frequency for the front, center, sur
-
round, 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/
center back/subwoofer): Select the
set of speakers to be configured with cus
-
tom settings.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi
-
cally, the RSX-1057 uses a single master set
-
ting for the high-pass and low-pass cross
-
over 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 access 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 different crossover point.
For example, if your master crossover is set
to 80Hz, but you want your front speakers
to crossover to the subwoofer at 60 Hz, you
