RSP-1068 Surround Sound Processor
NOTE: A digital signal coming into the
RSP-1068 will be recognized and prop-
erly decoded. However, on a DVD with
multiple soundtracks, you must tell the DVD
player which one to send to the RSP-1068.
For example, you may need to use the
DVD's menu system to select the Dolby
Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 soundtrack rather
than the default Dolby Digital 2.0 Dolby
Surround soundtrack.
Additionally, you can configure a default sur-
round mode for each input using the INPUT
SETUP menu (see the Setup section of this
manual). Combined with the auto-detection of
Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, this default surround
setting makes operation of the RSP-1068 sur-
round modes totally automatic. For example,
if you set Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode as
the default for all of your video inputs, the
RSP-1068 will automatically decode Dolby
Digital 5.1 and DTS soundtracks when they are
played and use Pro Logic II matrix decoding for
all other recordings. For stereo inputs such as
CD and Tuner, you could select STEREO mode
as the default for 2-channel playback or Dolby
Pro Logic II music mode if you prefer to hear
music sources in surround sound.
Manually Selecting
Surround Modes
As described in the previous section, the
combination of auto-detection of Dolby Digital
and DTS recordings and setting default sur-
round modes for each input during the setup
of the RSP-1068 makes operation of surround
modes totally automatic. For many users, this
automatic surround mode selection will meet
all of their listening needs.
For users who prefer a more active role in
setting surround modes, buttons on the remote
and the front panel provide manual selection
of surround mode that are not automatically
detected or, in some cases, to override an
automatic setting.
Manual settings available from the front panel
and/or the remote might be used when you
want to play:
• Standard 2-channel stereo (left/right speak-
ers only) with no surround processing.
• Downmixed 2-channel playback of Dolby
Digital 5.1 or DTS recordings.
• Dolby 3-channel stereo (left/right/center)
of 2-channel recordings.
• 5-channel or 7-channel stereo from 2-chan-
nel recordings.
• One of four MUSIC modes for DSP concert
hall simulation from 2-channel record-
ings.
• Dolby Pro Logic II cinema or music mode
matrix decoding of 2-channel recordings.
• DTS Neo:6 cinema or music mode matrix
decoding of 2-channel recordings.
• Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding of
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recordings or
Dolby Digital Surround EX discs that do
not trigger automatic decoding.
NOTE: DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital,
MP3, MPEG Multichannel, HDCD (96kHz),
and PCM 2-channel (96kHz) digital signals
are auto-detected and cannot be overrid-
den. However, you can choose to use Dol-
by Digital Surround EX decoding for any
Dolby Digital 5.1 source material. You can
also downmix Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS
5.1 recordings for 2-channel playback.
• HDCD (non 96kHz) and PCM 2-channel
(non 96kHz) digital signals can be overrid-
den to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3-Stereo,
DTS Neo:6, Music 1 – 4, 5CH Stereo, 7CH
Stereo, and Stereo.
• Dolby Digital 2-channel Stereo can be
overridden to Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby
3-Stereo, and Stereo.
The following topics describe in detail the
ºmanual surround mode options available for
each type of recording:
Dolby Digital 5.1 discs
Dolby Digital Surround EX discs
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however, select
a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel recordings.
In a 6.1ch or 7.1 ch system, you can also choose
Dolby Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music,
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema (7.1ch only), or Rotel
XS processing for center back channels.
NOTE: In addition to the options that
follow, you can press the 2CH button on
the front panel or the remote to toggle be-
tween 2-channel downmix and multichan-
nel playback.

• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then press the +/– buttons
to change between DD 5.1 channel or DD
2.0 channel downmix playback.
• On a 6.1 system. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to
step through five optons: DD 2.0 channel
downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Surround
EX center back processing, DD with Pro
Logic IIx Music center back processing or
DD with Rotel XS center back processing.
You should typically select Surround EX
or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital
Surround EX. For standard 5.1 channel
discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel
XS processing will provide a more diffuse
surround effect than the more highly local-
ized Dolby EX decoding and will probably
be the better 6.1 channel options for non-
Surround EX discs. Selecting DD 5.1 forces
the center back channel processing off for
conventional 5.1 channel playback. You can
also repeatedly press the DOLBY PLII/3ST
button on the front panel until the desired
center back channel option is selected.
• On a 7.1 system. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to
step through six optons: DD 2.0 channel
downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Surround
EX center back processing, DD with Pro
Logic IIx Music center back processing,
DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema back chan-
nel processing, or DD with Rotel XS center
back processing. You should typically select
Surround EX or discs that are labeled
Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard
5.1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music or Rotel XS processing will provide a
more diffuse surround effect than the more
highly localized Dolby EX decoding and
may be the better 7.1 channel options for
non-Surround EX discs. Selecting DD 5.1
forces the center back channel processing
off for conventional 5.1 channel playback.
You can also repeatedly press the DOLBY
PLII/3ST button on the front panel until
the desired center back channel option is
selected.
NOTE: When playing any Dolby Digital
source, you can select one of three dynam-
ic range control settings. See the Dynamic
Range topic in the Other Settings section of
this manual.
