Source connections

The RMZ-955 has four pair of RCA inputs for four source compo- nents, as well as four pair of RCA “loop-through” outputs that can send the source signals to other components.

INSTALLATION: RMZ-955 CONTROLLER

Note 1: The RMZ-955 does not accept a phono cartridge’s output directly. If required, use a separate phono preamp (such as Rotel’s RQ-970BX) to boost phono signal to line level.

Note 2: Use only FIXED LEVEL source outputs to the RMZ-955.

Source inputs

Connect LINE LEVEL sources (CD player, tuner, etc.) to the RMZ-955’s rear panel inputs as follows.

Using shielded RCA-RCA cables, connect the source’s output to the corresponding source input on the RMZ-955. Connect analog outputs from the source components as indicated to assure clear operation with both the RR-952 hand held remote and the RKP-901 keypad:

Tuner	➠	RMZ-955 Input 1
CD player	➠	RMZ-955 Input 2
Tape deck / DSS Satellite	➠	RMZ-955 Input 3
CD2 / VCR / DVD / LD	➠	RMZ-955 Input 4

Make sure to observe correct channel continuity from source to RMZ-955. The RMZ-955’s RCA inputs are labelled for easy identi- fication with Left Channel connections on the top row and Right Channel connections on the bottom row.

Source outputs

Each source input on the RMZ-955 has a matching pair of “loop- through” output RCA jacks. The primary use of these “loop- through” outputs is to pass the signal from each source component to additional RMZ-955 controllers in large multi-zone systems (see page 15 for details on installing large systems).

In some cases, these “loop-through” outputs may alternatively be used to “share” the source components with a separate home theater or audio system. If the source is shared by another system, connect each pair of RMZ-955 source outputs to the appropriate inputs of the main system’s preamplifier as shown in the hook-up illustration.

Note: The source sharing does not work with all combinations of components. Specifically, home theater and audio systems with micro-processor controlled source input switching may result in problems such as interference or “mixing” between shared sources.
