Speaker Levels
(SUBWFR, CENTER, SURR L,
SURR R)
P5-C
P5-D
P5-E
These two items allow you to adjust the out-
put levels of the subwoofer, center channel
speaker, left surround speaker, and right sur-
round speaker. Use the CONTROL
but-
tons to increase or decrease the output level
for the selected type of speaker:
• 0: The standard setting with no increase
or decrease relative to the front speakers.
• (+): Positive numbers indicate an increase
in output level.
• (+): Negative numbers indicate an increase
in bass or treble.
The adjustment range is from –10 to +10. In
a perfectly adjusted system, all of the speak-
ers should be matched as closely as possible
in volume output.
NOTE
: Center and Surround speaker settings
can only be made while a multichannel sur-
round mode is active.
From the remote control:
• Press the SUB + or SUB – command on page
5 of the remote to increase or decrease
the output level of the subwoofer.
• Press the CENTER + or CENTER – command
on page 5 of the remote to increase or
decrease the output level of the center
channel speaker.
• Press the SURR R + or SURR R – command
on page 5 of the remote to increase or
decrease the output level of the right sur-
round speaker.
• Press the SURR L + or SURR L – command
on page 5 of the remote to increase or
decrease the output level of the left surround
speaker.
Test Tone
To make adjustments more accurate, the
RSDX-02e has a built-in pink noise test tone.
Playing this calibrated test tone through each
speaker while making the adjustments to match
the speaker levels as closely as possible. Al-
ternatively, you can use an SPL meter, held in
one place at the listening position to measure
the output of each speaker while playing the
test tones.
To turn on the test tone, press the TEST
button on Page 5 of the remote. Press the button
again to turn off the test tone.
NOTE
: Speaker level and test tone adjustments
are also available from the Choice Menu sys-
tem. These level settings are memorized in-
dependently for each source input.
DSP Effect LEVEL
(EFFECT)
P5-F
This adjustment changes the intensity of the
reverberation effects when using one of the
DSP surround modes for 2-channel input sig-
nals. Use the CONTROL
buttons to in-
crease or decrease the intensity of the effect:
The range of settings is from 1 to 5 with 1 being
the least intense effect and 5 being the high-
est intensity. 3 is the standard setting.
NOTE
: This setting can only be made while
one of the DSP surround modes is active. This
setting is memorized independently for each
source input.
Subwoofer Audio Position
(AUDIO POS)
P2-H
P1-D
Once the subwoofer level is set for multichannel
movie soundtracks, some listeners feel that the
subwoofer is too loud for stereo music sources.
Generally, this is an indication that the sub-
woofer level is set too high in the first place.
However, the RSDX-02e provides a feature,
called Audio Position, that will automatically
reduce the subwoofer level whenever the sur-
round mode is set to 2-ch stereo. Use the CON-
TROL
buttons to increase or decrease the
Audio Position setting:
The range of settings is from 0dB to –6dB. A
setting of 0 is the normal setting, with the sub-
woofer at the same level for all surround modes.
A setting of –6 reduces the level of subwoofer
by 6dB in stereo surround mode.
NOTE
: This setting can only be made while
one of the DSP surround modes is active.
CHOICE MENU SYSTEM
The Choice Menu system provides a number
of additional setup and configuration options.
The choice menus are available at any time
except when the AM/FM source is selected.
Most of the adjustments in the Choice Menus
are memorized independently for each source
input.
There are five Choice Menus:
1. LANGUAGE: default options for menus,
DVD subtitles, etc.
2. PICTURE: video options
3. AUDIO: audio options
4. SPK. SETTING: speaker configuration
