Multi Zone Operation

The RX-1052 provides multi-room capability, allowing you to enjoy music and operate the system in three remote zones (ZONES 2, 3, and 4) in addition to the main room. From the remote zones, you can select a source com- ponent (independent from the source playing in the main room), adjust the volume level in the remote zone, and operate the source components.

To use the multi zone capability, you need addi- tional components: a pair of speakers installed in each remote zone, an amplifier to drive them, an optional TV monitor for video signals, and a third-party IR repeater system.

Remote zones can be controlled from the main room using RX-1052’s ZONE and SEL buttons and the remote control +/– buttons. Operation from the remote zone requires an infrared re- peater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which re- lays infrared remote control commands from remote to the ZONE 2–4 IR IN connectors on the back of the RX-1052.

Several points about multi zone function:

•The remote control supplied with the RX-1052 will operate the remote zones if used with a repeater system from the re- mote zone. It can also be programmed to operate Rotel CD and DVD players via the RX-1052’s IR OUT jack.

•Any source component connected to the RX-1052’s inputs can be sent to the Zone 2 – 4 outputs. EACH ZONE operates in- dependently. You can select a different source or adjust the volume in one zone without affecting the MAIN outputs or the other zones in any way.

•Avoid sending the same infrared command to the RX-1052 front panel sensor and a remote zone repeater at the same time. This means that remote zones must be in a different room from the RX-1052.

Remote Zone Power On/Off

Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the rear panel POWER switch, the RX-1052 provides independent power on/off operation for both zones. Pressing the remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main room ac- tivates or deactivates the RX-1052 in the main room only and has no effect on the remote zones. Conversely, activating or deactivating a remote zone has no effect on the main lis- tening room or the other zones.

To turn off all zones, press and hold the OFF button. Placing the rear panel master POWER switch in the OFF position completely shuts off the unit, for all zones.

NOTE: For proper power on and off opera- tion with Zone 2, the RX-1052’s power mode should be set to the factory default STANDBY setting or to the DIRECT setting using the Set- ting Power Mode procedure.

Controlling Remote Zones from the Main Room

7werBCQRS

You can control Zones 2 – 4 from the main room using front panel or remote control buttons to activate or deactivate a zone, change inputs, and adjust the volume. Controlling a remote zone from the main room is accomplished by pressing the SEL button, putting the RX-1052 in multi zone control mode temporarily. Press the button repeatedly until the desired zone is shown in the front panel display, during which time you can use the front panel VOL- UME control, INPUT buttons, or +/– buttons to change the zone settings.
