English

ENTER Button

The ENTER button is used to conﬁ rm and

memorize various settings in the setup and

operation of the RSP-1069. Its use is described

in detail in the relevant sections.

Basic Operations

This section covers the basic operating con-

trols of the RSP-1069 and the remote.

Power and Standby On/Off

The rear panel POWER switch on the RSP-1069

is a master power switch. The button must

be in the ON position for the unit to oper-

ate. When it is in the OFF position, the unit

is fully off and cannot be activated from the

front panel or remote control.

In normal operation, the rear panel POWER

switch is always left in the ON position. The

RSP-1069 is activated and deactivated using

the front panel STANDBY button, the remote

control POWER button, or the remote ON/

OFF buttons. When activated, the RSP-1069

is fully functional and the front panel display

illuminated. When deactivated, the unit goes

into a standby mode, with minimal power ap-

plied to the microprocessor.

NOTE: When the unit has AC power applied

and the rear panel POWER switch is on, the

front panel STANDBY LED lights, even when

the unit is in standby mode.

The front panel STANDBY button and the re-

mote control POWER button function as tog-

gle switches. Press either button to activate

the unit. Press either button again to put the

unit in standby mode.

The ON/OFF buttons on the remote serve

the same function, but provide discrete ON

(active) or OFF (standby) commands.

NOTE: When using the Zone 2, 3, or 4 capa-

bility of the RSP-1069, the standby activation

is completely independent for the main room

and all three remote zones. ON/OFF com-

mands sent from the remote in the main room

will not affect the remote zones. Pressing the

ON/OFF buttons on a remote located in the

remote zones will only affect that zone and

not the main room. When the unit is activated

in a remote zone, the zone icon is illuminated

in the front panel display.

There are four available power mode op-

tions, which may be useful in conﬁ guring the

RSP-1069 for special system conﬁ gurations.

See the Other Options menu in the Setup sec-

tion of this manual for additional details on

changing the default standby behavior.

‘Resume’ retains the last power conﬁ gura-

tion when the main power is switched OFF

and then switched ON again. For example,

if the RSP-1069 is in operation and the main

power is switched OFF, when the main power

is switched ON, the unit will be in operation

mode again.

All OFF command: A long press of the

OFF button (more than 3 seconds), from

any room, sets the RSP-1069 to standby for

all zones.

Volume Adjustments

The listening volume of the RSP-1069 can be ad-

justed from the front panel or the remote.

Front Panel: Rotate the front panel VOL-

UME knob clockwise to increase the volume,

counterclockwise to decrease.

Remote: Press the VOL UP button to in-

crease the volume; press the VOL DOWN

button to decrease.

When you adjust the volume, the setting is

shown on the TV monitor and the front panel

display. The current volume setting is also shown

on the SYSTEM STATUS OSD screen.

NOTE: The VOLUME controls can be used to

change the volume in Zones 2, 3, or 4. Press

the front-panel SEL button or remote control REC

button to select the desired zone and adjust

the volume. After 10 seconds, the VOLUME

control reverts to normal operation.

Muting the Sound

The volume of the RSP-1069 can be turned off

or muted. Push the MUTE button on the front

panel or the remote once to turn the sound

off. A MUTE indication appears in the OSD

and the front panel displays. Press the MUTE

button again or adjust the volume settings to

restore output levels.

Selecting Inputs

Input Buttons

You can select any of nine source inputs for

listening and/or watching: CD, TUNER, TAPE,

VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VID-

EO 5, or MULTI INPUT (EXT on remote).

The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN

DISPLAY show the name of the current source

selection. The labels for VIDEO sources can

be customized to match your components.

All of the source inputs can be customized

using the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY conﬁ gura-

tion menus to accept either analog signals or

digital signals from one of the ﬁ ve assignable

digital inputs. When a digital input is assigned,

the RSP-1069 checks for the presence of a

digital signal at that input. If a digital signal

is present when the source is selected, it is

automatically activated and the proper sur-

round mode enabled. If no digital signal is

present, the analog inputs for that source are

selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred

conﬁ guration for digital source inputs such

as DVD players. When an ANALOG input

is assigned, the unit will not access a digital

signal, even though one may be available

at the digital input.

By default, the source input buttons are factory

conﬁ gured to select the following inputs:

CD: Digital Coaxial 2

Tuner: Analog

Tape: Digital Coaxial 3

Video 1: HDMI Audio (HDMI 1)

Video 2: HDMI Audio (HDMI 2)

Video 3: Digital Optical 1

Video 4: Digital Optical 2

Video 5: Digital Coaxial 1

Each source input should be conﬁ gured us-

ing the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu system to

use the desired input type (analog or digital

auto-sensing). See the INPUT MENU section

for conﬁ guration instructions.

NOTE: In addition to selecting analog or digital

signals, the conﬁ guration options also permit

custom labeling and selection of a default sur-

round mode for each of the eight inputs.

The input source buttons can also be used with

the front panel SEL button or remote control

REC button to select an analog input source

signal to be available at the outputs for re-

cording or for any of the remote zones.
