RSX-965 Power Switch and Standby Switch 1 2 46 The RSX-965 has two pushbuttons for powering on and off. The POWER switch completely shuts down all of the circuitry, similar in effect to removing the power cord from the AC outlet. The STANDBY switch deactivates the unit, but preserves power to some circuits such as those that store memorized circuits. When in STANDBY mode, a front panel STANDBY LED indicator lights. The STANDBY Switch is duplicated on the RSX-965's remote.
SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER RSX-965 TAPE MONITOR INPUTS: Two of the INPUT SOURCE buttons have a special function. The TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR buttons activates the analog inputs of a tape monitor loop consisting of a pair of outputs and a matching set of inputs. Traditionally, this tape monitor loop has been used to play a tape deck connected to these inputs or for real time monitoring of a recording in progress on an audio tape deck.
RSX-965 DSP Button DYNAMIC RANGE Button 9 This button activates digital synthesis of four different ambience modes (THEATER, HALL, STADIUM, and CHURCH) which simulate different acoustic environments and are primarily used to recreate ambience when listening to music sources and/or other sources that lack surround sound encoding. These five modes vary in the length and type of delay used for the rear surround channel signals.
SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER RSX-965 Several indicators in the front panel display assist tuning. A large display shows the tuned frequency and increases or decreases during tuning. A signal strength indicator shows the strength of the incoming signal. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal is received.
RSX-965 The following configuration instructions refer to LARGE and SMALL speakers. The size refers more to the bass performance of the speaker than its physical size. A full-range speaker that has extended bass response is considered LARGE. A compact minispeaker with limited bass response or power handling is considered SMALL. While understanding the terms LARGE and SMALL is useful, it is probably more important to understand what these different speaker types mean in terms of system performance.

To hook up a powered subwoofer, connect a standard RCA audio cable from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack to the input on the subwoofer’s power amp.
