SURROUND SPEAKERS (large/small/
none): Select the LARGE setting (not avail-
able with SMALL front speakers) to have the
surround speakers play low bass (full-range). If
your rear speakers have limited bass capability
or if you would prefer that the bass go to a
subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (high-pass).
If your system has no rear surround speakers,
select the NONE setting (surround channels
are added to the front speakers so none of
the recording is lost).
CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (large1/
large2/small1/small2/none): Some
systems have one or two additional center back
surround speakers. Select the LARGE settings
(not available with SMALL front speakers) to
have your center back speaker(s) play low
bass. Use LARGE 1 if you have one center back
speaker (6.1) or LARGE 2 (7.1) if you have
two center back speakers (7.1). If your center
back speakers have limited bass capability
or if you would prefer that the bass go to a
subwoofer, use the SMALL setting (SMALL1
for one speaker, SMALL2 for two speakers).
If your system has no center back speakers,
select the NONE setting. With center back
speakers, the Rotel XS eXtra surround, Dolby
Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS
Neo:6 or other decoders will provide center
back signals for any surround mode.
SUBWOOFER (yes/no/max): The YES
setting is the standard setting if your system
has a subwoofer. If your system does not have
a subwoofer, select NO. Select the MAX setting
for maximum bass output with normal bass
being duplicated by both the subwoofer and
any LARGE speakers in the system.
ADVANCED: Speaker configuration is gen-
erally a global setting for all surround modes
and need only be done once. However, for
special circumstances, the RSP-1068 provides
the option of setting the speaker configura-
tion independently for each of four surround
modes. Select the ADVANCED line on the menu
and press ENTER to go to the ADVANCED
SPEAKER SETUP menu described in the fol-
lowing section.
To change a setting on the SPEAKER SETUP
menu, place the highlight on the desired line
using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the
+/– buttons to toggle through the available
settings. To return to the MAIN menu, press the
ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button
on the remote to cancel the display and return
to normal operation.

In most cases, the standard speaker configura-
tion described above is a global setting and can
be used for all surround modes. However, the
RSP-1068 provides the capability to custom-
ize these settings for four different surround
modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and Music. 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
frequency for the front, center, surround, and
surround back speakers.
NOTE: In most systems, the default settings
on this menu will provide the most predict-
able 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 con-
figuration 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 custom
settings.
CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/
100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi-
cally, the RSP-1068 uses a single master setting
for the high-pass and low-pass crossover
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 avail-
able 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 CROSS-
OVER 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 setting
from the SPEAKER SETUP menu. This setting
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/MPEG (large/small/none):
The same options described for Dolby above,
except these settings ONLY take effect in STE-
REO surround mode.
MUSIC (large/small/none): The same
options 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
surround mode specific "large/small/none"
settings are not available for the other speak-
ers. These speakers will use the setting deter-
mined in the basic SPEAKER SETUP menu.
