2CH Button

This button activates conventional 2-speaker
stereo mode with no surround sound or other
processing. This is "pure" stereo, using the front
left and front right speakers (with or without
subwoofer), with no surround channels and
no center channel.
When used with Dolby Digital or DTS source
material, the 2CH button engages a downmix
feature, combining all of the channels and
sending them to the front speakers. The spa-
tial effects of surround sound are lost, but all
of the information on the original recording
are preserved.
: 2CH mode allows you to hear 2-chan-
NOTE
nel stereo recordings in their original format.

SUR+ Button

The SUR+ button on the remote selects the sur-
round modes described above. Each time you
press the button, the surround mode will cycle
to the next available setting as indicated by
the front-panel display. Repeatedly press the
button until you reach the desired setting.

Speaker Level Adjustment

Selection Buttons

UP/DOWN Buttons

The relative volume levels of all six channels
should be calibrated using test tones with an
ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu during the initial
setup of the RSX-972. You can also adjust the
relative volume of the center, rear, or subwoofer
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
the rear SURROUND channels.
2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons
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.

: The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY calibration
NOTE
procedure permits independent adjustment of
each rear surround channel. The adjustment
procedure described here only allows chang-
ing the relative volume of both surround chan-
nels 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 DYNAMIC RANGE feature is only
NOTE
available in Dolby Digital mode. It is inactive
at all other times.

Tuner Controls

The RSX-972 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

down to the next station frequency (when
in frequency tuning mode). Press and re-
on the
lease a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN

• 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

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.

BAND Button

Press the BAND button to toggle between AM
and FM reception. An indicator in the front-
panel display confirms your choice and the
currently tuned station frequency is shown.
: If the TUNER is not already the selected
NOTE
input source, pressing the BAND button will
automatically switch to the TUNER input.

TUNING Buttons

The TUNING buttons (labeled CH UP/DOWN
on the remote control) provide three different
tuning functions, depending on the mode of

tuning, press and hold the TUNING button for
approximately one second. An AUTO indicator
will appear in the front-panel display and the
tuner will begin scanning up or down through
the frequencies until the next available signal
is detected. If this is not the desired station,
repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find
the next station. Weak stations will be skipped
during auto tuning.
