SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER RSX-965

AC power cord 35

Your RSX-965 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (either 115 volts AC or 230 volts AC with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.

Plug the supplied cord into the power receptacle on the back of the unit.

AC Convenience Outlets 36

Two outlets let you plug AC cords from source components or other accessories into the back of the RSX-965 so that they will be turned on and off automatically. The outlets are powered when- ever the RSX-965 is fully active. They are off when the RSX-965 is in STANDBY mode.

Note: We DO NOT RECOMMEND that you use this outlet for a power amplifier. Do not exceed the maximum 100 watt capability of these switched outlets.

VOLUME DOWN/UP remote control buttons: To change the cur- rent settings for a selected menu choice on some menus in the On-Screen Menu system.

Note: There is no need to memorize these buttons. A brief help system at the bottom of each On-Screen Menu reminds you which buttons to press. All screens disappear automatically following 20 seconds of inactivity.

This 3.5 mm mini-jack receives command codes from industry- standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) via hard-wired con- nections. This feature could prove useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your authorized Rotel retailer for information on these external repeat- ers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.
