VID INPUT: select the video source to be
displayed on the TV monitor with the listen-
ing source specified on the first line. Can be
VIDEO 1–5 or OFF (no video). Typically, the
video source matches the audio from listening
source; however a different video input can
be selected. For audio only sources (such as
a CD player), you would typically specify OFF
so that no video is displayed.
INPUT LABEL: The eight character labels for
the all eight inputs can be customized. Place the
highlight on this line to begin labelling. The first
character in the label will be flashing.
1. Press the +/– buttons on the remote to
change the first letter, scrolling through the
list of available characters.
2. Press the ENT button on the remote to
confirm that letter and move to the next
position.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all eight char-
acters (including blank spaces) have been
completed. The final press of the ENT button
saves the new label.
INPUT: assigns a physical input connection
to use as the default for the source displayed
in the first line of the menu. The options are
ANALOG input, three OPTICAL digital inputs
(OPTICAL 1–3), and five COAXIAL digital
inputs (COAXIAL 1–5).
When a digital input is the default, the unit
will check for a digital signal when the INPUT
SOURCE is selected. If no digital signal is
present, the unit will automatically revert to
the analog input.
When an ANALOG input is the default, the unit
will not access a digital signal, even though
one may be present at the digital input; thus,
the ANALOG setting forces the unit to use an
analog signal. Assigning a digital input (with
its auto-sensing) is generally the preferred
configuration for any source with a digital
output.
NOTE: If a source connected to a digital
input is selected, that signal will automati-
cally be sent to both digital outputs for re-
cording.
CINEMA EQ: The RSP-1068 includes a
CINEMA EQ feature which reduces the high-
frequency content of movie soundtracks to
simulate the frequency response of a large
movie theater and/or eliminate sibilance.
You can turn the CINEMA EQ on or off as the
default setting for the selected input using this
menu choice. In general, this setting should
be OFF for most source inputs, unless you are
consistently bothered by excessively bright
sound from movie soundtracks.
12V TRIGGER: The RSP-1068 has three 12V
trigger outputs (labeled 1, 2, and ZONE2)
that supply a 12V DC signal to turn on Rotel
components and other components as needed.
This menu item turns on specific 12V trigger
outputs whenever the indicated source is
selected. For example, set up the VIDEO 1
input to turn on the 12V trigger for your DVD
player. The options for this menu item are:
1/2/ALL/NO.
DEFAULT MODE: The DEFAULT MODE set-
ting allows you to set a default surround sound
mode for each source input. The default setting
will be used unless the source material triggers
automatic decoding of a particular type or
unless the default setting is temporarily over-
ridden by the front panel or remote surround
mode buttons.
NOTE: Default surround modes are stored
independently for the analog and digital
inputs for each source.
Options for the default surround modes are:
Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3 Stereo, Music 1,
Music 2, Music 3, Music 4, 5ch Stereo, 7ch
Stereo, PCM 2 Channel, DTS Neo:6, Bypass
(for analog input only), and Stereo.
NOTE: The following types of digital discs
or source material are generally detected
automatically and the proper decoding ac-
tivated with no action or setting required:
DTS, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS-ES Discrete
6.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround
EX, Dolby Digital 2-channel, MPEG Mul-
tichannel, PCM 2-Channel, PCM 96kHz,
MP3, HDCD, and HDCD 96kHz.
Since Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sources
are detected and decoded automatically, the
default setting typically tells the RSP-1068
how to process a 2-channel stereo signal.
For example, you might have your CD input
default to 2-channel stereo, DVD and VCR
inputs default to Dolby Pro Logic II processing
for matrix-encoded Dolby surround material,
and TUNER input default to one of the MUSIC
modes.
In some cases, the default setting can be manu-
ally overridden by the front panel surround
mode buttons or the SUR+ button on the remote.
See the Manually Selecting Surround Modes
section of this manual for more information on
which settings can be overridden.
Two of the default surround mode settings
available on this menu offer additional choices.
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding offers a choice of
CINEMA or MUSIC settings. DTS Neo:6 de-
coding offers a choice of CINEMA or MUSIC
settings. When either Dolby Pro Logic II or
DTS Neo:6 is selected with this menu item, the
current setting choice will also be displayed.
In addition, the function of the ENTER button
changes, taking you to a sub-menu where you
can change the settings and/or additional
parameters for Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS
Neo:6 decoding. See the following section
for details.
GROUP DELAY: Also known as “lip-sync”
delay, this setting delays the audio signal for
an input by the specified amount to match
the video input. This feature can be useful
when the video signal is delayed more than
the audio signal as sometimes happens with
upconverted digital TV processors or when
trying to match a radio broadcast with the
video from a sports event.
The range of available settings is from 0ms to
500ms, in 5ms increments. The setting is indi-
vidually stored for each input and is the default
group delay each time that input is selected.
The setting can be temporarily overridden from
the front panel or the remote.
OPTIONS: This selection is only visible when
Pro Logic II or Neo:6 surround mode is selected.
Highlight this line and press ENTER to go to
submenus with additional options for these
surround modes. See below.
To return to the MAIN menu from the INPUT
SETUP menu (except when Dolby Pro Logic II or
DTS Neo:6 is selected in the SURR MODE field),
press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD
button on the remote to cancel the menu display
and return to normal operation.
