Rotel RSX-1550 owner manual Remote Control Overview

26 RSX-1550 Surround Sound Receiver

Remote Sensor 2

This sensor receives IR signals from the remote control. Do not block this sensor.

Note: The remainder of the buttons and controls on the front panel are described in the Overview of Buttons and Controls section.

Remote Control Overview

The unit is supplied complete with a full-function learning remote control that can operate this Rotel product plus nine other audio/video components.

A separate manual gives detailed instructions on programming and using the supplied learning remote to replace all of the remote controls in your system. The learning remote’s manual covers many extra features (such as custom labeling of remote buttons that appear in its LCD display). To avoid duplication, we provide only basic information about using the learning remote to operate this unit.

Note: Many of the remote functions duplicate the front-panel controls. For that reason, we cover the controls on the remote under appropriate topics throughout this manual. Letters in boxes next to the name of a function refers to the labeled illustration of the remote at the front of this manual.

Using the RR-1061 AUDIO Button A

To operate the receiver with the remote, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by pressing the AUD button on the remote before you start.

If one of the other buttons (CD, TAPE, etc.) is pressed, the remote will control another component, not this receiver. The AUDIO mode will stay active until another DEVICE/INPUT button is pressed.

VOLUME Knob -

VOLUME Button Q

The large rocker button on the remote and the large rotary control on the front panel provide the master VOLUME control, adjusting the output level of all channels simultaneously.

MUTE Buttons wR

Push the MUTE button once to turn the sound off. An indication appears in the front panel and on-screen displays. Press the button again to restore previous volume levels.

Note: Pressing the volume buttons on the remote also cancels the muting function.

LIGHT Button C

Press this button on the side of the remote to turn the backlighting on for using the remote in a dark room.

DEVICE/INPUT Buttons 6qA

The numeric buttons on the front panel plus the MULTI INPUT button are used to select source inputs for listening/viewing.

These buttons are duplicated on the remote, except that the MULTI INPUT button is labeled EXT and the remote buttons have two functions:

Short press: A short press of any button changes the device that the remote operates, but does not change the receiver’s input selection.

Long press: A longer press changes the remote control device and changes the source input for listening/viewing in the main room.

Note: A long press of the EXT button changes the input to the

7.1channel analog MULTI INPUT. Pressing the AUD button only changes the remote device; there is no input source associated with this button.

Overview of Buttons and Controls

This section provides a basic overview of the buttons and controls on the front panel and the remote control. Detailed instructions on the use of these buttons are provided in the more complete operating instructions in the following sections. Buttons or controls identified with a number appear on the front panel. Those identified with a letter appear on the remote control. When both a number and a letter appear, the control is duplicated on both the front panel and the remote control.

STANDBY Button 1

POWER Button N

The front-panel STANDBY button and the remote control POWER button activate or deactivate the unit. The rear panel master POWER switch must be in the ON position for the remote standby function to operate.

SEL Button r

REC Button J

Press the front-panel SEL button or the remote control REC button to select the desired zone for additional changes such as changing the input, adjusting the volume, or turning a re-mote zone on or off. Repeatedly press the button until the desired zone appears in the front panel: RECORD > ZONE 2 > ZONE 3 > ZONE 4. Once the desired zone appears, you have 10 seconds to make the desired change. Change the input selection by pressing an INPUT button. When ZONES 2–4 appear, you can also adjust the volume, or turn the zone on or off by pressing the ZONE button.

ON/OFF Buttons O

The power ON and OFF buttons on the remote provide discrete ON and OFF commands to activate the unit or put it in standby mode. The rear panel master POWER switch must be in the ON position for the remote standby function to operate.

All OFF command: A long press of the OFF button (more than 3 seconds) sets all rooms to standby, from any room.

Note: The RR-1061 remote control can be set to send individual IR commands for each zone. Please refer to the setup manual supplied with the RR-1061 to program this function.

A long press of the SEL or REC button is used to cancel the PARTY mode and return all zones to their last previously selected inputs.
