Rotel RSX-1056 Owners manual

The RSX-1056 is Rotel’s most affor dable sur r ound
sound receiver but cer tainly doesn’t sacrifice per­formance or features! The high cur rent amplifier
section puts a full 75 watts RMS per channel at your
sonic disposal (that’s with all five channels driven
simultaneously from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more
than 0.05% THD!). In the real world, this is far more
power than you’ll find in other products that provide
only two-channel ratings. Of course, superb power
supply design helps here as does careful parts
evaluation and selection. But that‘s simply par t of
Rotel’s Balanced Design heritage.
Concerned about future needs? A larger r oom, for
example? Or, an eventual move to full 7.1 surround
capability? The RSX-1056 features a “Redirect”
option that handles all of this with the simple addi­tion of a two-channel amplifier for the front channels.
How’s that for an “enjoy now and enjoy more later”
approach?
Rotel hasn’t forgotten convenience either. The RSX­1056 provides analog and digital connections for
up to seven additional components. The RSX-1056
even allows you to re-label inputs, assign inputs,
per for m advanced bass management and equalize
channels.
Advanced microprocessors from Crystal
Semiconductor handle Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX,
DTS, DTS ES Discrete and Matrix, DTS 24/96, DTS
Neo:6 and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding and provide
several music modes for your enjoyment, too. Three
component inputs and internal video transcoding let
you see the best picture possible regardless of your
source.
The RSX-1056 is per fect for custom installations.
There’s an RS-232 interface, multi-room, multi­source with composite video, three assignable 12­volt trigger outputs, discrete on/of f remote contr ol
command codes, rear panel IR inputs, and a detach­able AC power cord. A fully programmable remote
control is standard.

The Perfect Vision - March / April
2003 - Neil Gader

“Others may buy an AVR to
impress their friends. The Rotel
is the grown -up AVR you buy for
yourself.

DVD ETC - July / August 2003
Greg Robinson

“Its stellar build quality, warm
musical sound, 7.1 decoding capa­bility and excellent warranty make
the RSX-1055 a clear winner.”
