The engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning each new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor Many of the RR-969 functions duplicate the front-panel controls. For that reason, we cover the controls on the remote under appropriate topics throughout this manual. Letters in gray boxes next to the name of a function refers to the labeled illustration of the remote at the front of this manual. Using the RR-969 AUDIO Button To operate the RSP-1066 with the remote, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by presson the remote before ing the AUD button you start.
English 13 Tone Controls The front-panel BASS and TREBLE controls increase or decrease the audio signal’s low and high frequency content respectively and allow you to tailor the sound to your own preferences. Rotate clockwise to increase the bass or treble and counterclockwise to reduce. The front-panel display and ON-SCREEN DISPLAY show tone control settings as you adjust them. Bass an treble adjustments can also be made from the remote control: to select BASS 1.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor Overview of Surround Formats To get best performance from your RSP-1066, it helps to understand the many surround sound formats available today, to know which decoding process to use for a particular recording, and how to select it. This section provides basic background information about surround sound formats. The next sections provide detailed operating instructions.
English 15 6.1 and 7.1 Surround Other Formats In 1999, the first Dolby Digital soundtrack was released to theaters with an additional center back surround channel, intended to increase the directional effects from behind the audience. This additional surround channel is encoded into the two existing surround channels in Dolby Digital 5.1, using a matrix encoding process similar to that used previously in Dolby Surround. This new extended surround capability is called Dolby Digital Surround EX.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor Manually Selecting Surround Modes Four front panel MODE buttons and the SUR+ button on the remote provide manual selection of surround sound settings when you wish to use a surround mode that is not automatically detected or, in some cases, when you wish to override an automatic setting.
English 17 DSP Button This button activates digital synthesis of six ambience modes (MUSIC 1, MUSIC 2, MUSIC 3, MUSIC 4, 5CH Stereo, and 7CH Stereo). • The four MUSIC settings use digital delay and reverberation effects to simulate progressively larger acoustic environments. Typically used to add ambience and a sense of space when listening to music sources or other sources that lack surround sound encoding.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor When making signal connections, connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT channels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on the RSP-1066 follow these standard color codes: Left channel audio: white RCA jack Right channel audio: red RCA jack Composite video: yellow RCA jack NOTE: Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT MENU of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system.
There are also video record outputs (described in a following section) which correspond to three of the video source inputs – Video 1, 2, and 3). For this reason, you should plan ahead and designate each source component as Video 1, Video 2, etc. All connections (both input and output) from a source component must be made consistently to the same set of connections. For example, all input and output connections to a particular VCR could be made to Video 1 connectors.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor Digital Source Connections See Figure 4. The RSP-1066 provides digital connections which may be used in place of, or in addition to, the analog audio input and output connections described in the previous sections. These connections include five digital inputs and two digital outputs for recording. These digital connections can be used with any source component that supplies a digital signal, such as a DVD player or CD player.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. See the POWER Button heading in the BASIC CONTROLS section of this manual for information about turning the unit on and off. NOTE: Memorized settings and video labels will be stored for up to one month if the RSP-1066 is disconnected from AC power. 12V TRIGGER Connections Several Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning on and off by sensing a 12 volt trigger signal from the RSP-1066.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor 22 Zone 2 Power On/Off To change the Zone 2 input source: Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the front-panel POWER button, the RSP-1066 provides independent power on/ off operation for both zones. Pressing the remote control POWER button in the main room activates or deactivates the RSP-1066 in the main room only and has no effect on Zone 2. Conversely, activating or deactivating Zone 2 has no effect on the main listening room.
English 23 room when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet. See your authorized Rotel dealer for information on IR repeater systems. NOTE: The EXT REM IN jack located to the right of these jacks is for use with an external IR sensor duplicating the front-panel IR sensor and located in the primary zone. It should not be used for ZONE 2 IR connections. Navigation Buttons LISTEN: the source selected for listening.

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 surround channels for a more spacious effect. • Select MUSIC to optimize for musical recordings.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor popular home theater configuration and should be strongly considered even if the speakers are physically large and capable of playing low bass. This configuration is particularly advantageous when driving the speakers with moderate power amplifiers.
English 27 Calibration with an SPL meter: Calibrating the system with an SPL meter, rather than by ear, provides more precise results and improves the system’s performance significantly. Inexpensive SPL meters are widely available and the procedure is quick and easy. Both Dolby and DTS specify a standard calibration level for all theaters to ensure that soundtracks can be played at the volume level intended by the director of the film.
RSP-1066 Surround Sound Processor tal and/or DTS surround modes. In other surround modes, there is no LFE channel and the subwoofer will only reproduce redirected bass from the other channels, which is not as likely to tax the subwoofer. The CROSSOVER setting activates a low-pass filter for the subwoofer and a corresponding high-pass filter for all SMALL speakers in the system at the selected frequency. To adjust the crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER line using the UP/DOWN buttons.

To return to the MAIN menu without saving any changes, change all entries on the screen to NO and press the ENTER button. NOTE: If there is insufficient memory to store a USER DEFAULT configuration file, the USER DEFAULT SET option will not be available.
