HDCD

: This system uses higher bit rates and

a variety of enhancements to improve the sonic

performance compared to standard audio CDs.

These discs, labeled HDCD, can be played

on standard CD players. However, when the

digital signal is decoded using an HDCD

decoder like that in the RSX-1056, they will

provide exceptional musical reproduction.

DTS Music 5.1 Discs: These discs are a

variation of audio CDs that include a DTS 5.1

channel recording. The RSX-1056 decodes

these discs just like a DTS movie soundtrack

when played on a CD player or DVD player

with a digital output connection.

DVD-A music discs: Taking advantage of

the increased storage capacity of the DVD disc,

new high bit rate multichannel audio record-

ings are available on DVD-A discs. DVD-A discs

may include multiple versions of the record-

ing including standard PCM stereo, Dolby

Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, and 96kHz/24 bit (or

higher) multichannel recordings using MLP

compression. Several of these formats (stan-

dard PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS 5.1 can

be decoded by the RSX-1056 when the DVD

player is connected with a digital cable. How-

ever, the existing optical and coax digital

connection standard does not provide suffi-

cient bandwidth for multichannel high sampling

rate MLP recordings. Therefore, DVD-A discs

with these high-resolution audio soundtracks

must be decoded by a the DVD player and

the resulting analog signals sent to the

RSX-1056’s MULTI INPUT.

SACD

: This is a proprietary high-resolution

audio standard for use on SACD compatible

disc players. As with high-resolution DVD-A discs,

the bandwidth is too high for today’s digital

connection. Thus, these discs must be decoded

by SACD compatible player, with the output

sent to the RSX-1056’s MULTI INPUTS.

MP3: The RSX-1056 also features a decoder

for the digital MP3 (MPEG1- Audio Layer 3)

compression format. MP3 format recordings

are available on the Internet and can be played

on portable MP3 players or some disc play-

ers that can read CD-ROM discs connected

to the RSX-1056’s digital inputs.

MPEG Multichannel: The RSX-1056 can

decode MPEG Multichannel digital recordings.

Widely used in Europe, this format uses MPEG

data compression to record up to 5.1 chan-

nels of discrete digital audio, similar in func-

tion to the Dolby Digital and DTS formats.

Automatic Surround

Modes

Decoding of digital sources connected to the

digital inputs is generally automatic, with

detection triggered by a “flag” embedded in

the digital recording telling the RSX-1056 what

decoding format is required. For example,

when Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 channel

surround is detected, the RSX-1056 activates

the proper decoding.

The unit will also detect DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 or

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 discs and activate DTS-ES

Extended Surround decoding. Dolby Digital

Surround EX recordings also trigger automatic

decoding (although not all Surround EX DVDs

have the necessary flag and may require manu-

ally activating Surround EX decoding).

Likewise, a digital input from an HDCD

en-

coded compact disc, a standard CD, a DTS

96/24 disc, or MP3 player will be auto-de-

tected and properly decoded to 2CH stereo

operation.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Rotel XS processing can

be configured to be automatically active in all

6.1 or 7.1 channel systems configured with

center back speaker(s) and will ensure proper

extended surround decoding of all multichannel

digital signals, even those that might not oth-

erwise trigger the proper extended surround

mode.

In many cases, the RSX-1056 will also recog-

nize a digital signal with Dolby Surround encoding

(such as the default soundtrack on many DVDs)

and activate Dolby

Pro Logic II

decoding.

NOTE

: A digital signal coming into the

RSX-1056 will be recognized and properly

decoded. However, on a DVD with multiple

soundtracks, you must tell the DVD player

which one to send to the RSX-1056. For ex-

ample, 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 sur-

round setting makes operation of the RSX-1056

surround modes totally automatic. For example,

if you set Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode as

the default for all of your video inputs, the

RSX-1056 will automatically decode Dolby Digi-

tal 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 pre-

fer to hear music sources in surround sound.

Manually Selecting

Surround Modes

As described in the previous section, the com-

bination of auto-detection of Dolby Digital and

DTS recordings and setting default surround

modes for each input during the setup of the

RSX-1056 makes operation of surround modes

totally automatic. For many users, this auto-

matic 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 de-

tected or, in some cases, to override an auto-

matic 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 con-

cert 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.
