Unpacking

Remove the unit carefully from its packing. Find the remote control and other accessories. Save the box as it will protect the RSX-1055 if you move or need to return it for maintenance.

Placement

Place the RSX-1055 on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat, moisture, or vibra- tion. Make sure that the shelf can support the weight of the unit.

Place the RSX-1055 close to the other com- ponents in your system and, if possible, on its own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and subsequent system changes easier.

The RSX-1055 can generate heat during nor- mal operation. Do not block ventilation open- ings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) of unobstructed space around the unit. If in- stalled in a cabinet, make sure that there is adequate ventilation.

Don’t stack other components or objects on top of the RSX-1055. Don’t let any liquid fall into the unit.

RR-969 Remote Control

The RSX-1055 includes a full-function learn- ing remote control that can operate the RSX-1055 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-1055 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-1055 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 PRELOAD Button

The RR-969 is preprogrammed to operate the RSX-1055. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-969 not operate the RSX-1055, the programming may have been changed. To restore the RSX-1055 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-1055’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-1055 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-1055 and the remote. When only one ap- pears, that function is found only on the RSX-1055 or the remote.

POWER Button

The front-panel POWER switch on the RSX-1055 is a master power control allowing you to turn the unit on and off.

The button 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 button on the remote functions as a standby switch, activating or deactivat- ing the unit. In standby mode, minimal power is still supplied to memory circuits to preserve settings. 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-1055, selected during setup from an ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu. These options can be selected to best suit your particular system configuration. The normal DIRECT mode fully activates the unit whenever AC power is sup- plied 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 ALWAYS-ON power option, the unit is fully operational whenever AC is applied and the front-panel POWER button is pressed IN. The remote 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-1055 provides information about the status of the unit, tuner reception, and ac- tivation of special features. The main portion of the display typically shows the current in- put source (or radio station frequency) selected for listening at the left and the current input source selected for recording at the right.

Icons along the left side of the display show the currently selected digital input. Icons at the right of the display show individual surround channels and are used in configuring the sys- tem. Icons across the bottom of the display show the current surround mode and other special features. Icons at the top of display assist in tuning radio stations and operation of RDS/ RBDS features.

The FL display can be turned off, if desired. See the MENU button section for instructions.
