Miscellaneous Settings

Other Options

��

This OTHER OPTIONS menu, accessed from the MAIN menu, provides access to several miscellaneous settings as follows:

RECORD: Select which source signal to be sent to the recording outputs

by choosing one of the input sources. The options are: CD, TAPE, TUNER, VIDEO 1–5, and SOURCE. You can either select a speciﬁc component or select SOURCE which will send the signal to the record outputs from whatever source is selected for listening. The default is SOURCE.

TURN ON VOL: Speciﬁes a default volume level to be used each time the unit is activated. You can select LAST to have the receiver power up with the last previously used volume setting. Or, you specify a volume from MIN (full mute) to MAX, in 1dB increments. Note that this setting cannot exceed the MAX VOL established in the next line of the menu.

MAX VOL: Speciﬁes the maximum volume level for the receiver. The volume cannot be adjusted above this level. Settings range from MIN to MAX, in 1dB increments.

POWER: This setting determines how the receiver powers up.

With the default STANDBY setting, the unit powers up in standby mode when AC is applied and the rear panel POWER button is ON. The unit must be activated using the front panel STANDBY button or the remote ON/OFF buttons.

With the DIRECT setting, the unit is fully activated when AC power is applied and the rear panel POWER button is ON; however, it may be put in standby mode using the front panel STANDBY button or the remote ON/OFF buttons.

In ALWAYS-ON mode, the unit remains fully active whenever AC is present and the rear panel POWER button is ON; the front panel STANDBY button and the remote ON/OFF buttons are disabled and the unit cannot be put in standby mode.

In RESUME mode, the receiver will return to the last power condition setting when switched on. For example, when the AC mains power is switched OFF during operation, it will return to operating mode when the mains power is switched on again.

LANGUAGE: Selects a language for the On Screen Display

DISCRETE: The default setting of NO allows control of volume and input selection in remote zones 2–4 from the main room remote control. Changing the setting to YES prevents the remote control in the main room from affecting any other zone in any way, even when the receiver is in zone mode following a change to a zone.

The discrete option does not affect the control of the zones from the front panel buttons in any way.

Note: The DISCRETE function is not available on all models and is dependent on the software version installed. The DISCRETE function is intended for use by a Rotel dealer or installer only.

Rotel’s use of discrete IR commands in multi-zone models provides easier integration with IR control systems, making control possible from a single IR input. For Rotel dealers or installers, further information is available on the Rotel website: www.rotel.com

Video/HDMI Setup

��

The VIDEO/HDMI menu deals with the conﬁguration of the HDMI and Component output for high-deﬁnition video display devices. See the Video Inputs & Outputs section of this manual.

VIDEO OUT FORMAT: Speciﬁes the video resolution and format of the video output at the TV MONITOR outputs. The receiver will scale all video inputs up to this speciﬁed resolution for a perfect match with the native resolution of your HDTV monitor. Can be 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

HDMI AUDIO MODE: options are AMP MODE and TV MODE. In AMP MODE the HDMI Audio and other audio (analog or digital) inputs are processed and ampliﬁed by the receiver for output to the connected speakers. TV MODE (pass-through) provides HDMI Audio and other audio (analog or digital) outputs for use with an audio-capable display device. In TV MODE, there is no output from the receiver’s speaker terrminals.
