RR-969 Remote Control
The RSX-1065 includes a full-function learn- ing remote control that can operate the RSX-1065 plus nine other components.
A separate manual, included with the remote, gives detailed instructions on programming and using the RR-969 to replace all of the remote controls in your system. To avoid duplication, we provide only basic information about us- ing the RR-969 to operate the RSX-1065 in this manual.
Most of the RR-969 functions duplicate the front-panel controls. For that reason, we will cover the operating controls on the remote in the appropriate sections of this manual. Let- ters in gray boxes next to the name of a func- tion refers to the labeled illustration of the remote at the front of this manual.
Using the RR-969 
To operate the RSX-1065 with the remote, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press- ing the AUD button 
on the remote before you start. The AUDIO mode will stay active until another DEVICE button is pressed.
Programming the RR-969 
The RR-969 is preprogrammed to operate the RSX-1065. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-969 not operate the RSX-1065, the programming may have been changed. To restore the RSX-1065 programming, press the recessed PRELOAD button 
on the re- mote with the tip of a ballpoint pen.
NOTE: Pushing the PRELOAD button will erase all custom programming and learned com- mands, restoring the RR-969 to its factory condition.
Basic Controls
We suggest you look over the RSX-1065’s front and rear panels before you start connecting other components. The following explanations will help you get familiar with the unit’s con- nections, features, and controls.
Most functions are duplicated on the front-panel and on the remote. A few are found only on one or the other. Throughout this manual, num- bers in gray boxes refer to the RSX-1065 il- lustration at the front of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-969 remote illustration. When both appear, the function is found on both the RSX-1065 and the remote. When only one ap- pears, that function is found only on the RSX-1065 or the remote.
POWER Switch 
The front-panel POWER switch on the RSX-1065 is a master power control. It must be pressed IN for the unit to operate. When it is in the OUT position, the unit is fully off and cannot be activated from the remote control. The POWER switch on the remote functions as a standby switch, activating or deactivating the unit. In standby mode, minimal power is still supplied to memory circuits to preserve set- tings. When the unit has AC power applied and the front-panel POWER button is pressed IN, the front-panel POWER LED lights, regard- less of whether the unit is in standby mode or fully-activated in the main room
There are three available power mode options for the RSX-1065, selected during setup from an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu. The default DIRECT mode fully activates the unit whenever AC power is supplied and the front-panel POWER button is pressed IN; however, the remote POWER switch can still be used to activate or deactivate the unit. With the STANDBY power option, the unit powers up in standby mode when AC is first applied and the front-panel POWER button is pressed IN. The unit must be manually activated with the remote control POWER button. With the AL- WAYS-ON power option, the unit is fully op- erational whenever AC is applied and the front- panel POWER button is pressed IN. The re- mote POWER button is disabled.
When using Zone 2, the standby operation is completely independent for the main room and Zone 2. The remote control POWER but- ton will not affect Zone 2. Pressing the POWER button on a remote located in Zone 2 will only affect that zone and not the main room. When the unit is activated in ZONE 2, the ZONE indicator in the front-panel FL DIS- PLAY is lit.
Remote Sensor 
This sensor receives IR signals from the remote control. Do not block this sensor.
Front-panel Display 
The fluorescent (FL) display in the upper por- tion of the RSX-1065 provides information about the status of the unit and activation of special features.
See the illustration at the front of this manual for the location of each section of the display:
Listening Source 
displays the current input source selected for listening.
Recording Source 
displays the current input source selected for recording.
Status Display 
shows a range of infor- mation depending on the current operating mode. For example, when the tuner is selected, this section of the display shows tuning infor- mation and/or RDS information. When other sources are selected, the surround sound mode will be displayed. Additionally, other informa- tion may be displayed briefly when a feature is activated.
Volume information 
shows the current volume setting and/or mute status.
Icons 
appear along the left side and the bottom of the display. These indicate when special features are activated and assist in the operation of the unit.
The FL display can be turned off, if desired. See the MENU button section for instructions.
Volume Control 
The VOLUME control adjusts the level of all output channels. Rotate the front-panel control clockwise to increase the volume, counterclock- wise to decrease. The RR-969 remote has VOL- UME UP and DOWN buttons.
