RSM-901 Sensor/Display

The RSM-901 sensor/display receives IR signals from the RR-952 hand held controller and other IR devices. It also provides feed- back on system status through a dot matrix LED display and indi- cators. In addition, it provides convenience features including a time of day display and a “wake to music” alarm clock function.

Note: The RSM-901 passes remote control IR commands to the RMZ-955 controller at any time, regardless of whether its zone is currently active or not.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Dot Matrix Display

The dot matrix display shows the following status information:

Clock Display and Greeting: When the Zone is INACTIVE, the display shows the current time of day in a 4-digit 12-hour format.

When the Zone is first activated, a time-appropriate greeting will display momentarily, followed by a display of the selected source component. To check the time while the Zone is ACTIVE, press the MODE button.

Source Selected: When the Zone is ACTIVE, the display shows the selected source component:

Tuner

CD Player

Tape Deck

Satellite TV

VCR	DVD Player

Engaged Indicator: It is useful to know when someone in another Zone is listening to the same source component that is active in your zone. If your Zone has exclusive use of the active source, the Source indicator’s first character will be a capital letter. If the source is “engaged” or being shared with another zone, the first character will change to lower case.
