The RSP-985 accepts both analog and digital signals. The INPUT
SETUP menu allows you to configure each input:
INPUT: Select the input you wish to setup by highlighting this line
and stepping through the available choices with the VOLUME
DOWN/UP buttons. You will need to configure each input, repeat-
ing the following configuration sequence several times, each time
selecting a different input.
INPUT DOMAIN: Select ANALOG or DIGITAL or AUTO depending
on the type of signal connection you have made by stepping
through the available choices with the VOLUME DOWN/UP but-
tons. Using a DIGITAL signal, if available, avoids a D/A conversion
in the source component and A/D conversion in the RSP-985. Note
that even when using a digital input, you still should make analog
connections from the source. These will be used for recording, re-
gardless of the setting on this menu. Selecting AUTO for the input
will check for the presence of a DIGITAL signal and automatically
revert to an ANALOG input if no DIGITAL signal is present.
VOLUME OFFSET: This menu item adjusts the volume of each
source component so that the volume level remains relatively
constant when switching between sources and so that the signal
does not overload the RSP-985. Typically, you determine which
source has the lowest level and then match the others to that one.
Adjust the level using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons. Note that
you are matching the perceived level you hear from that source,
not the dB readout that appears on-screen.
Note: It is essential not to set the source input levels so high that
the signal overloads the RSP-985’s input circuitry. Adjust to match
the quietest source, not the loudest.
ANALOG LEVEL: The maximum input level for analog sources is 2V
RMS. It is possible that a source with a very high output level,
such as some CD players, may overdrive the input. This will be in-
dicated with the word CLIP appearing on the screen. Should this
occur, change the ANALOG LEVEL menu setting for that source to
4V which will reduce its input level by 6dB.
THX: This setting determines which additional surround circuitry
should be activated for the current input. Choices are THX ON,
RE-EQ (activated Re-EQ only), and THX OFF.
DEFAULT: This setting specifies the default surround mode for
each input. Choices are 2 CH STEREO, MONO, MUSIC 1-4, and
PRO-LOGIC. DOLBY DIGITAL are DTS are automatically selected
when an appropriate signal is present.
Once you have completed the settings for all of your input
sources, return to the MAIN MENU by pressing the BACK button.

This menu, which is reached from the MAIN MENU, provides ac-
cess to a wide range of system-wide configuration options.
RECORDING: Select a source for the VIDEO 2, 3, and 4 record out-
puts by moving the highlight to this line and then stepping through
the six available input choices using the VOLUME DOWN/UP but-
tons.
ZONE 2 IN: Select a source for Zone 2 by moving the highlight to
this line and then stepping through the six available input choices
using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons.
ZONE 2 VOLUME: Set the volume level for Zone 2 by moving the
highlight to this line and then adjust the volume up or down using
the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons.
POWER-ON MODE: This setting determines how the RSP-985
powers up when connected to an AC outlet. In the default
STANDBY mode, the unit goes into a standby status when AC is
applied and must be fully activated from the front-panel or remote
control. In the DIRECT mode, the unit is fully active whenever it is
connected to AC. This may be desirable in installations where the
RSP-985 is plugged into a switched outlet.
ONE-LINE DISPLAY: This option determines whether a one-line in-
formation display appears on the TV screen for 5 seconds every
time an RSP-985 setting is changed. Some users prefer to turn it
off so that it never appears. Change the setting by highlighting this
menu line and using the VOLUME DOWN/UP buttons to change
from ON to OFF or vice versa.
ZONE 2 AUTO-MUTE
Determines whether Zone 2 is automatically muted when the
RSP-985 is activated. If auto-mute is YES, the volume of Zone 2
will be muted when the system is turned on. If auto-mute is NO,
the volume in Zone 2 will return to its last previous setting when
the system is turned on.
FACTORY DEFAULTS: Highlight this option and press the ENTER
button on the remote control to go to the FACTORY DEFAULT menu
which allows you to return ALL system settings to the factory de-
fault settings.
Press the BACK button to return to the MAIN menu.
