Amplifiers
To hook up power amplifiers, connect
an audio cable from each PREOUT jack to
the input of the amplifier channel that will
power the corresponding speaker. In a full
home theater system, you will need to make
as many as seven different connections in
addition to the subwoofer. These connec-
tions are labeled FRONT L &R, CENTER, and
REAR L & R. There are two CENTER jacks,
use either jack for a single center channel
or both if you have two center channels. In
six or seven channel systems, you will make
one or two additional connections for cen-
ter back speaker(s). These jacks are labeled
CB1 and CB2. Use CB1 for a single center
back channel.
Make sure that you have each output con-
nected to the correct amplifier channel (front
right, left rear, etc.).

AM Antenna

See Figure 12
The RSX-1058 includes a plastic loop anten-
na to receive AM radio signals. Remove this
antenna from the box and locate it near the
RSX-1058. It can be tacked to a wall, using
the mounting tab provided. Alternatively, you
can fold the center portion of the antenna to
form a tabletop stand.
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire
from the loop antenna to the push terminals
labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to
each terminal. It does not matter which wire
attaches to which terminal, but make sure
that the connections are solid and that the
two wires do not touch.
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient
the antenna to find the best position.
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its
300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the terminals
in place of the loop antenna.

FM Antenna

See Figure 12
The RSX-1058 is supplied with a T-shaped in-
door FM antenna. Connect the coax F-type plug
to the FM antenna connector on the RSX-1058.
For best reception, unfold the T-shaped anten-
na. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking
the antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment
with positioning for best reception.

NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect
its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connec-
tor instead of the indoor wire antenna, only
after a professional contractor has installed
the antenna system in accordance with local
electrical codes.
OPERATING THE
RSX-1058
Considering its large number of features, set-
tings, and options, the RSX-1058 is remark-
ably easy to operate. The key to operating
the RSX-1058 is its system of On-Screen Dis-
plays (OSD) which guide you through vari-
ous choices.
The RSX-1058 can be operated from the front
panel or the remote control. Front-panel con-
trols are unusually simple to use, with just a
few knobs and buttons to guide you through
OSD menu options. The remote control pro-
vides more complete control options.
To guide you through the operation of the
RSX-1058, this section of the manual starts with
explaining the basic layout and function of the
front panel and the remote control. Then, we
explain the basic operations such as turning
the unit on and off, adjusting volume, select-
ing a source for listening, etc. Following that
is a detailed explanation of surround sound
modes and how to configure the RSX-1058
for various types of recordings. Finally, there
are instructions for additional features and
Zones operation. All of these are features that
may be used in normal use. The last section
of the manual (Configuration) details options
that may be selected during initial setup and
configuration of the unit, many of which will
be set once and left untouched.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes
refer to the RSX-1058 illustration at the front
of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-1060
remote illustration. When both appear, the
function is found on both the RSX-1058 and
the remote. When only one appears, that
function is found only on the RSX-1058 or
the remote.

Front Panel Overview

The following is a brief overview of the con-
trol and features on the front panel of the
RSX-1058. Details concerning the use of these
controls are provided in subsequent sections
of this manual describing various tasks.
