MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-955

Operating Instructions

RR-952 Hand-held Remote

As detailed in above, the RMZ-955 should ALWAYS be plugged into an uninterruptable AC source. This ensures that essential RMZ-955 system benefits such as remote controlled zone activa- tion and source selection are always available. Zone control de- vices (the RKP-901 keypad and RSM-901 sensor/display) are powered from the data cables and are always active as long as the RMZ-955 is connected to AC.

The RR-952 remote provides easy and convenient system opera- tion from any zone equipped with a RSM-901 sensor/display. You will find that the RR-952/RSM-901’s operating range is longer and the angle of acceptance is wider than with many other hand held controllers. This increased operating convenience is a direct re- sult of a more powerful transmitter in the remote and more sensi- tive receiving circuitry in the sensor/displays. Enjoy the difference.

To use the RR-952 remote control, simply aim it at a wall- mounted RSM-901 sensor/display.

Input Selector Buttons

These buttons provide “one-touch” operation of the system, playing the selected source component in the requesting zone. The actual function of the buttons depends on the current sys- tem status, but the net effect is the same: activate the system (if necessary), select the desired component, put it in play mode (if necessary), and direct its signal to the local zone.

Depending on system status, pressing any of these buttons will do one of the following:

a)If the entire system is “Off” (i.e., the RMZ-955 is in “Standby” mode and all source components are either Off or in “Standby” ), pressing any input selector button will activate the entire system (including source components) for distribution as requested.

b)If only the requesting zone is in “Standby” (and the rest of the system, including sources, is active), selecting an input will en- able that zone’s microprocessor-controlled switching circuitry and direct that source’s output to the requesting zone. If the re- quested source is not already in use by another zone, selecting the source will also engage Play mode.

c)If the requesting zone is already playing a source, pushing an- other input selector button will simply choose the new source.

d)Input selector buttons for CD, TAPE and VIDEO double as “Play” command buttons for their respective sources. This is important when a source is in “Pause” mode: Simply press the proper input selector again to resume play.

Tuner control buttons

FAV STN (Favorite Station): This will select the first station (Pre- set #1) programmed into the tuner’s memory.

PRESET + : These select the next PRE-PROGRAMMED station lower or higher in frequency than the one playing.
