OUTPUT MODE

The RDV-1060 can provide fully decoded 5.1
channel surround signals at the multichannel
analog audio outputs. Alternatively, the
RDV-1060 can "downmix" the 5.1 surround
sound signal to a 2-channel signal for output
to a stereo TV or audio system. A third alter-
native is downmixed 2-channel output with a
virtual surround feature that recreates the sur-
round sound spaciousness from two speakers.
5.1CH SURROUND: Supplies the full 5.1
channel signal to the analog audio outputs.
Use this setting for processors that have 5.1
channel audio inputs. This multichannel out-
put can be customized for systems with vari-
ous speaker configurations using the speaker
settings items on this menu.
2CH STEREO: Downmixes the 5.1 channel
signal into an encoded 2-channel surround sig-
nal. Use this setting to send the analog audio
signal to a 2-channel system or a surround
sound decoder that has analog surround pro-
cessing (such as Dolby ® Pro Logic
not have 5.1 channel analog inputs.
2CH VIRTUAL: Downmixes the 5.1 chan-
nel signal to a 2-channel stereo signal with
virtual surround sound that creates an expanded
sense of spaciousness from 2 speakers. Use
this setting to send the analog audio signal to
a preamp, TV, or recorder with conventional
two-channel stereo input and no surround sound
decoding capability.
: The remainder of the settings on this
NOTE
menu are only available in the 5.1CH SUR-
ROUND output mode. The following items
are grayed out and have no effect when 2CH
STEREO or 2CH VIRTUAL output modes are
selected.

FRONT

Use this item to configure the front left and right
speaker settings for the analog audio outputs.
LARGE: This setting sends a full-range signal,
including low bass, to the front speakers.
SMALL: A high-pass setting that redirects low
bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer.

CENTER

Use this item to configure the center channel
speaker settings for the analog audio outputs.
LARGE: This setting sends a full-range signal,
including low bass, to the front speakers.
SMALL: A high-pass setting that redirects low
bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer.
OFF: Use this setting if your system does not
have a center channel speaker. The center chan-
nel information is split equally between the two
front speakers, creating a phantom center chan-
nel.

REAR

Use this item to configure the surround chan-
nel speaker settings for the analog audio out-
puts.
LARGE: This setting sends a full-range signal,
including low bass, to the front speakers.
SMALL: A high-pass setting that redirects low
® ), but does bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer.
OFF: Use this setting if your system does not
have surround channel speakers. Surround in-
formation from a 5.1 channel recording is
downmixed into the front channels.

SUBWOOFER

Use this item to configure the subwoofer set-
tings for the analog audio outputs.
PRESENT: Use this setting if a subwoofer is
connected to your system. The subwoofer output
will carry LFE channel signals from Dolby Digital
and DTS 5.1 channel DVD-V discs and redi-
rected bass from other channels configured
as SMALL in the previous settings.
NONE: If your system does not have a sub-
woofer, use this setting.

CENTER DELAY

You can delay the signal from the center channel
so that it arrives at the listening position at the
same time as the sound from the front speak-
ers.
Delay times on the menu are specified in mil-
liseconds (ms). 1 millisecond of delay is equal
to approximately one foot of distance from the
speaker to the listener. For example, if your
center speaker is 2 feet closer than the front
speakers to the listening position, you would
add 2 milliseconds of delay to the center
speaker.

To adjust, use the CURSOR
a setting on the vertical slider control on the
left side of the menu screen. The available
settings range from 1 millisecond to 5 milli-
seconds. The "OFF" setting adds no delay.

REAR DELAY

You can delay the signal from the surround
channels so that it arrives at the listening po-
sition at the same time as the sound from the
front speakers.
Delay times on the menu are specified in mil-
liseconds (ms). 1 millisecond of delay is equal
to approximately one foot of distance from the
speaker to the listener. For example, if your
surround speakers are 3 feet closer than the
front speakers to the listening position, you
would add 3 milliseconds of delay to the sur-
round speakers.
To adjust, use the CURSOR
a setting on the vertical slider control on the
left side of the menu screen. The available
settings range from 3 milliseconds to 15 mil-
liseconds. The "OFF" setting adds no delay.

TEST TONE

To assist in the SPEAKER LEVEL setting proce-
dure, you can turn on a pink-noise test tone
signal that sequentially moves to each speaker
configured in the system. While this test tone
is playing, use the individual channel level
adjustments on the receiver or processor to
set equal levels for all channels.
ON: Turns on the test tone signal.
OFF: Turns off the test tone signal.
