Zone 2 Power On/Off
Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the front-panel POWER button, the RSP-1066 provides independent power on/ off operation for both zones. Pressing the re- mote control POWER button in the main room activates or deactivates the RSP-1066 in the main room only and has no effect on Zone
2.Conversely, activating or deactivating Zone
2has no effect on the main listening room. However, placing the front-panel POWER but- ton in the OFF position completely shuts off the unit, for both zones.
NOTE: For proper power on and off opera- tion with Zone 2, the RSP-1066’s power mode should be set to the factory default DIRECT setting or to the STANDBY setting using the OTHER OPTIONS menu from the ON-
SCREEN DISPLAY.
Controlling Zone 2 from the Main Room ZONE Button 
You can control Zone 2 from the front-panel of the RSP-1066 – activate or deactivate Zone 2, change input sources, and adjust the vol- ume. Controlling Zone 2 from the front-panel is accomplished by pressing the ZONE but- ton, which temporarily puts the RSP-1066 in Zone 2 control mode, even if the unit is in standby mode. When the ZONE button is pressed, the FL DISPLAY shows the current status of ZONE 2 for ten seconds, during which time you can use the VOLUME control and INPUT SOURCE buttons to change the ZONE 2 set- tings. When ZONE 2 is active, the ZONE indicator in the FL DISPLAY lights.
NOTE: Zone 2 cannot be controlled from the remote in the main room.
To turn Zone 2 on or off:
1.Press the front-panel ZONE button. The status of Zone 2 appears in the display. If Zone 2 is in standby, “ZONE OFF” ap- pears. If Zone 2 is active, “ZONE xxxxx” showing the current input source appears.
2.If Zone 2 is ON, pressing the ZONE but- ton a second time within 10 seconds turns it OFF. If Zone 2 is OFF, the second press of the ZONE button turns it ON with the last used input source and volume setting.
3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RSP-1066 reverts to normal operation.
To change the Zone 2 input source:
1.Press the front-panel ZONE button. The status of Zone 2 appears in the display. Make sure that Zone 2 is ON.
2.Within 10 seconds after pressing the ZONE button, press one of the INPUT SOURCE buttons to select a new source for Zone 2. The name of the selected source appears in the display.
3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RSP-1066 reverts to normal operation.
To change the Zone 2 volume:
1.Press the front-panel ZONE button. The status of Zone 2 appears in the display. Make sure that Zone 2 is ON.
2.Within 10 seconds after pressing the ZONE button, adjust the volume control to change the Zone 2 output level. The new setting appears in the display.
3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RSP-1066 reverts to normal operation.
Controlling Zone 2 from the Remote Location
With a properly configured IR repeater sys- tem, you have full control of Zone 2 using an RR-969 remote from the Zone 2 location. You can select and operate a source, adjust the volume, and turn Zone 2 on or off. Whatever commands you send from the RR-969 will change Zone 2 and only Zone 2, just as if you were controlling a totally independent audio system in that room. These changes will have no effect on the main listening room.
To turn Zone 2 on or off, press the POWER button 
on the remote. To adjust the volume in Zone 2, press the VOLUME buttons 
on the remote. To select a different analog input source, press one of the INPUT SOURCE but- tons 
on the remote.
Zone 2 Audio Outputs 
See Figure 5.
These line-level RCA outputs send the Zone 2 audio signals to a stereo amplifier driving a pair of speakers in the remote zone.
NOTE: Only analog input signals are avail- able at the Zone 2 outputs. Source compo- nents connected to only the digital inputs are not available in Zone 2.
Although you have the option of using an in- tegrated amplifier or a receiver to power the remote speakers, we suggest using a fixed- gain power amplifier. This simplifies system installation and operation. Your authorized Rotel dealer may make another recommendation based on specific system requirements.
To configure your system for Zone 2 opera- tion, connect the left and right Zone 2 outputs on the RSP-1066 to the left and right channel inputs of the amplifier powering the remote speakers, using standard RCA audio cables.
NOTE: By default, the Zone 2 outputs provide a VARIABLE level signal, with control of the volume from the RSP-1066 front-panel and/ or remote control from Zone 2. Alternatively, you can configure these outputs for FIXED level, which disables the volume control and sends a fixed line-level signal to an amplifier with its own volume control. See the ON-SCREEN DIS- PLAY/Configuration section for details.
ZONE REM IN Jack 
See Figure 5.
This 3.5 mm mini-jack accepts signals from a infrared repeater located in Zone 2. This IR repeater system is required for operation of the RSP-1066’s ZONE 2 functions from the remote zone. There are many available IR repeater systems from third-party suppliers and it is impractical to cover the wiring of each type in this manual. Please consult your au- thorized Rotel dealer for information on con- figuring an IR repeater system for your appli- cation.
NOTE: ZONE 2 and its IR repeater must be in a different location than RSP-1066 to prevent IR commands intended to control Zone 2 from inadvertently controlling the main room op- erations.
IR OUT Jacks 
See Figure 5.
The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals re- ceived at the ZONE REM IN jack or the EX- TERNAL REM IN jack to an infrared emitter placed in front of a source component or to Rotel CD players, DVD players, or tuners with a compatible rear panel IR connector.
This output is used to allow IR signals from Zone 2 to be sent to the source components, or to pass along IR signals from a remote in the main
