RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor
Two of the default surround mode settings
available on this menu offer additional choices.
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers a choice
of CINEMA, MUSIC, or EMULATION settings.
DTS Neo:6 decoding offers a choice of CIN-
EMA or MUSIC settings. When either Dolby
Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected with this
menu item, the current setting choice will also
be displayed. In addition, the function of the
ENTER button changes, taking you to a sub-
menu where you can change the settings and/
or additional parameters for Dolby Pro Logic
II or DTS Neo:6 decoding. See the following
section for details.
To return to the MAIN menu (except when Dolby
Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 is selected in the
SURR MODE field), press the ENTER button.
Press the MENU key on the remote to cancel
the menu display and return to normal opera-
tion.

When Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 is
selected as the default surround mode on the
INPUT SETUP menu (see previous section), there
are additional option settings and parameters
available to optimize the surround decoding
for various types of recordings, music or movie
soundtracks.
These settings are changed using one of the
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II or DTS Neo:6 submenus,
reached by pressing the ENTER key from the
INPUT SETUP menu when either of these sur-
round modes is selected.
The sub-menu will be similar to the example
shown above, with the title at the top of the
screen indicating either DOLBY PRO LOGIC
II or DTS Neo:6 depending on the surround
mode.
In DTS Neo:6 surround mode, there will
only be one choice available on the sub-menu:
selecting CINEMA or MUSIC modes. Use the
+/– keys on the remote to change the settings.
• Select CINEMA to optimize the DTS Neo:6
decoding for movie soundtracks.
• Select MUSIC to optimize the DTS Neo:6
decoding for musical recordings.
In Dolby Pro Logic II surround mode,
there will a similar choice available on the sub-
menu except that there are three options:
CINEMA, MUSIC, or EMULATION modes. Use
the +/– keys on the remote to select a mode.
• Select CINEMA to optimize for Dolby
Surround encoded movie soundtracks, us-
ing the enhanced matrix decoding of Dolby
Pro Logic II including increased surround
separation and full-bandwidth surround
channel frequency response.
• Select EMULATION for Dolby Surround
encoded movie soundtracks using decod-
ing logic that emulates the original Dolby
Pro Logic system. You may prefer this op-
tion for older movie soundtracks that are
not of optimum audio quality. Compared
to the CINEMA setting, EMULATION mode
will reduce the high-frequency response and
separation of the surround channels and
may increase the delay setting to the sur-
round channels for a more spacious effect.
• Select MUSIC to optimize for musical re-
cordings. When the MUSIC mode is se-
lected, three additional parameter will be
available as shown in the following screen:

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
PANORAMA: Off
DIMENSION: 3
CENTER WIDTH: 0
ENT KEY=input setup UP KEY=up
+/– KEY=change
Use the UP/DOWN keys on the remote to select
a parameter. Use the +/– keys to change the
selected parameter as follows:
• PANORAMA: The Panorama option
extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for a dramatic "wrap-
around" effect. The options are OFF or ON.
• DIMENSION: The Dimension option al-
lows you to gradually adjust the soundfield
towards the front or towards the rear. There
are seven incremental settings from 0 to
6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundfield to-
wards the rear for maximum surround ef-
fect. A setting of 6 shifts the soundfield to
the front for minimum surround effect. The
default setting of 3 provides a "neutral"
balance between the two extremes.
• CENTER WIDTH: The Center Width option
allows you to send some of the signal in-
tended for the center speaker to the left and
right front speakers, thus widening the
perceived soundfield. There are eight in-
cremental settings from 0 to 7. With the
default setting of 0, there is no center width
spreading and all of the center channel
information is sent to the center speaker .
The maximum setting of 7 shifts all of the
center channel signal to the left and right
speakers, essentially muting the center
speaker and maximizing the soundfield
width. Other settings provide incremental
steps between the two extremes.
When you have completed all the desired
adjustments, press the ENTER key to return to
the INPUT SETUP menu.
