OPERATING

THE RSP-1069

Considering its large number of features, set-

tings, and options, the RSP-1069 is remark-

ably easy to operate. The key to operating

the RSP-1069 is its system of On-Screen Dis-

plays (OSD) which guide you through vari-

ous choices.

The RSP-1069 can be operated from the front

panel or the remote control. Front panel con-

trols are unusually simple to use, with just a

few knobs and buttons to guide you through

OSD menu options. The remote control pro-

vides more complete control options.

To guide you through the operation of the

RSP-1069, this section of the manual starts

with explaining the basic layout and func-

tion of the front panel and the remote con-

trol. Then, we explain the basic operations

such as turning the unit on and off, adjusting

volume, selecting a source for listening, etc.

Following that is a detailed explanation of

surround sound modes and how to conﬁ gure

the RSP-1069 for various types of recordings.

Finally, there are instructions for additional

features and remote zone operations. All of

these are features that may be used in normal

use. The last section of the manual (Conﬁ gu-

ration) details options that may be selected

during initial setup and conﬁ guration of the

unit, many of which will be set once and left

untouched.

Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes

refer to the RSP-1069 illustration at the front

of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-1060

remote illustration. When both appear, the

function is found on both the RSP-1069 and

the remote. When only one appears, that

function is found only on the RSP-1069 or

the remote.

Front Panel Overview

The following is a brief overview of the con-

trol and features on the front panel of the

RSP-1069. Details concerning the use of these

controls are provided in subsequent sections

of this manual describing various tasks.

Front-panel Display

The ﬂ uorescent (FL) display on the front panel

of the RSP-1069 provides information useful

for operating the unit. The main portion of

the display has two rows of alpha-numeric

text displays. The top line shows the current-

ly selected source input on the left and the

volume setting on the right. The second line

shows the current surround mode or other

settings as they are changed (record source

selection, Zone 2 source selection, dynamic

range settings, etc.)

Icons along the left side of the display show

the current surround mode. Icons along the

bottom left of the display show the current

digital input. Icons along the right bottom of

the display show individual surround chan-

nels when conﬁ guring the system.

The FL display can be turned off, if desired. See

the MENU button section for instructions.

Remote Sensor

This sensor receives IR signals from the remote

control. Do not block this sensor.

NOTE: The remainder of the buttons and con-

trols on the front panel are described in the

Overview of Buttons and Controls section.

Remote Control Overview

The RSP-1069 includes a full-function learning

remote control that can operate the RSP-1069

plus nine other audio/video components.

A separate manual gives detailed instructions

on programming and using the RR-1060 to

replace all of the remote controls in your sys-

tem. The RR-1060 manual covers many extra

features (such as custom labeling of remote

buttons that appear in its LCD display). To

avoid duplication, we provide only basic in-

formation about using the RR-1060 to oper-

ate the RSP-1069 in this manual.

Many of the RR-1060 functions duplicate the

front panel controls. For that reason, we cover

the controls on the remote under appropriate

topics throughout this manual. Letters in gray

boxes next to the name of a function refers

to the labeled illustration of the remote at the

front of this manual.

Using the RR-1060

AUDIO Button

To operate the RSP-1069 with the remote,

make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by

pressing the AUD button on the remote be-

fore you start. If one of the other buttons (CD,

TAPE, etc.) is pressed, the remote will control

another component, not the RSP-1069. The

AUDIO mode will stay active until another

DEVICE/INPUT button is pressed.

Overview of Buttons and

Controls

This section provides a basic overview of the

buttons and controls on the front panel and

the remote control. Detailed instructions on

the use of these buttons are provided in the

more complete operating instructions in the

following sections. Buttons or controls identi-

ﬁ ed with a number appear on the front panel.

Those identiﬁ ed with a letter appear on the

remote control. When both a number and a

letter appear, the control is duplicated on both

the front panel and the remote control.

STANDBY Button

POWER Button

The front panel STANDBY button and the re-

mote control POWER button activate or deac-

tivate the unit. The rear panel master POWER

switch must be in the ON position for the re-

mote standby function to operate.

ON/OFF Buttons

The power ON and OFF buttons on the remote

provide discrete ON and OFF commands to

activate the unit or put it in standby mode.

The rear panel master POWER switch must

be in the ON position for the remote standby

function to operate.

All OFF command: A long press of the

OFF button (more than 3 seconds) sets all

rooms to standby, from any room.
