you hear a different source, sending a Play command if neces- sary. Finally, the Input Select button can be used as a Play button to resume operation following a previous Pause command.

The details are not important. If you want to hear a source in your room, just press the Input Select button for that source and the system will worry about the details for you.

TUNER: Selects the tuner as the active source.

CD: Selects the CD player as the active source and sends the play command to begin operation, if necessary.

AUX: Selects the source component connected to Input 3 (tape deck, or satellite TV) as the active source and sends the play command to begin operation, if necessary.

VIDEO: Selects the video component (VCR, CD2, or DVD) as the active source and sends the play command, if necessary.

The RKP-901 keypad offers easy access to most RMZ-955 system functions. The major functional difference between the RKP-901 keypad and RR-952 hand held remote controller is that the wall- mounted keypad has only twelve keys.

Input Select commands

These buttons provide “one-touch” operation. If the system is cur- rently inactive, pushing any of the four input source selection but- tons will “power up” the RMZ-955’s and the source components, send the play command to the selected source, and send the sig- nal from that source to the zone from which the button is pushed. Assuming the tuner is tuned to a station, a disc in the CD player, etc., you will hear music with the push of a single button.

The function of the button changes slightly if the system is already active. For example, if the source selected is already playing in another zone, pushing the Input Select button will not send a Play command, but will simply let you hear what is already playing. If your zone is already active, pressing an Input Select button lets

System commands

VOLUME + : Press to decrease or increase volume.

MUTE: Temporarily reduces system volume to almost full attenua- tion. Restore preselected volume levels by pressing MUTE again, VOL+, VOL– or any input selector.

OFF: A brief push puts the Zone from which the command is sent in Standby status. All other zones are unaffected. A continuous push of more than 4 seconds will send a stop command to all source components and power down the entire system.

Source Control Commands

and : These buttons are “up” and “down” controls for operat- ing source components. Their function varies depending on the type of source currently active. See chart below.

DISC: This advances a multi-disc CD player to the next available disc. This button has no function for other components.

*: This button is a multi-purpose control, depending on the cur- rently active source component. For most source components, it will send the STOP command to the source. However, it may also be used for a special function on some components. See chart.
