Subwoofer Setup - Rotel RSX-1058 Manuel D'utilisation

RSX-1058 Surround Sound Receiver
round modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and DSP.
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 fre-
quency for the front, center, surround, 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 changing
these settings. Otherwise, skip to the following
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-1058 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
would select 60Hz for the front speakers on
this line. This setting ONLY affects redirected
bass and does not affect the LFE channel in
any way. The OFF setting (available only for
the subwoofer) sends a full-range signal to
your subwoofer so that you can use its built-
in low-pass filter.
NOTE: When a speaker is set to LARGE on
the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this MENU,
the crossover setting is not available since, by
definition, a LARGE speaker plays full-range
with no bass redirection to the subwoofer
and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF setting
for the subwoofer crossover is not available
for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means
that the speaker will redirect its bass below
a given crossover point to the subwoofer.
In addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not
available for the MULTI INPUT.
DOLBY (large/small/none): Sets the cur-
rent speaker (shown in the first line) to LARGE,
SMALL, or NONE, overriding the master set-
ting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu. This set-
ting will ONLY take effect with Dolby Digital
or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.
DTS (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with DTS and DTS
Neo:6 decoding.
STEREO (large/small/none): The same
options described for Dolby above, except
these settings ONLY take effect in STEREO
surround mode.
DSP (large/small/none): The same op-
tions described for Dolby above, except these
settings ONLY take effect with any of the DSP
MUSIC surround modes.
NOTE: When the front speakers are set to
use the master crossover frequency on the
ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the sur-
round mode specific "large/small/none" set-
tings are not available for the other speakers.
These speakers will use the setting determined
in the basic SPEAKER SETUP menu.

The SUBWOOFER SETUP menu allows selec-
tion of the master subwoofer crossover fre-
quency and independent adjustment of sub-
woofer level for each surround mode.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/100Hz/
120Hz/150Hz/200Hz/OFF): This setting
specifies a master low-pass filter for the sub-
woofer and a corresponding high-pass filter
for all SMALL speakers in the system at the
42
selected frequency. To adjust the crossover
frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER line
using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use the
+/– buttons to choose the master crossover
point. The 80Hz or 100Hz crossover points
are the most common in home theater systems
and should be used unless you have a specific
reason to choose a different crossover point
based on your specific speakers.
The OFF setting sends a full-range signal to
your subwoofer so that you can use its built-in
low-pass filter. With the OFF setting, a 100
Hz high-pass filter is activated for all SMALL
speakers in the system.
NOTE: The master crossover point can be
overridden with a custom crossover frequency
for the front, center, surround, or surround back
speakers in the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP
menu; however, in most systems the single mas-
ter crossover point should work well
DOLBY DIGITAL:
DOLBY PLIIx:
DTS:
STEREO:
DSP:
MULTI INPUT:
These six lines allow you to override the mas-
ter subwoofer level setting as determined on
the TEST TONE menu (see next section) for
each specific surround mode. When going
to the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu from the
MAIN menu, the current surround mode is
automatically highlighted. Use the +/– buttons
to adjust the subwoofer level for the current
surround mode. The options are OFF (which
turns off the subwoofer for that mode) and a
range of adjustments from -9dB to +9dB and
MAX (+10dB). A setting of 0dB means that
the specified surround mode will use the mas-
ter subwoofer level. Any other setting is an
offset to the master setting. For example, an
adjustment of -2dB for a particular surround
mode means that the subwoofer level will
be 2dB quieter than the master subwoofer
level when that surround mode is selected.
Use these subwoofer level settings to adjust
the relative bass output of various surround
modes. Changing the master subwoofer lev-
el will increase or decrease the level for all
surround modes.
NOTE: Only the current surround mode can be
adjusted on this menu. You will need to change
surround modes using the front panel or remote
buttons to adjust a different mode.
