MUTE Button 
Push the MUTE button once to turn the sound off. An indication appears in the front panel and on-screen displays. Press the button again to restore previous volume levels.
NOTE: Rotating the volume knob also cancels the muting function.
FUNCTION Knob 
The large knob at the left side of the front panel is dual action control for navigating OSD menus. Rotate the control to the left or right to change settings on the menus. Push the knob to enter the new setting.
PATH Button 
The RSP-1098 can independently select sources for listening, recording, and use in a remote Zone 2 location. The PATH button toggles among listening, recording, and Zone 2 se- lection modes. In listening mode, input selec- tion and volume adjustments change the main listening room. In Zone 2 mode, these adjust- ments change the remote zone. In recording (or Zone 3) mode, a source is selected for output to VCRs or other recorders.
SPEAKER Button 
During the setup of the RSP-1098, precise volume levels adjustments for each speaker are memorized for the proper playback of Dolby Digital and other surround sound for- mats. These default settings will be used each time you turn on the RSP-1098. The SPEAKER button on the front panel selects a speaker for temporary adjustments that remain in effect only until you change to a different input source or turn the RSP-1098 off. The actual adjust- ment is made with the FUNCTION knob.
The SPEAKER button can also be used to make a temporary adjustment to the group delay or “lip-synch” delay. Like the speaker settings, this is a temporary adjustment that overrides the permanent default setting for a video source until a different input source is selected or the unit is turned off.

MODE Button 
Although surround mode selection is gener- ally automatic, the MODE button on the front panel can be used (with the FUNCTION knob) to temporarily override the default surround mode for a particular input. The available op- tions depend on the type of source input (digital or analog) and the type of recording (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM stereo, etc.)
Remote Sensor 
This sensor receives IR signals from the remote control. Do not block this sensor.
ZONE 2 LED 
A small LED in the upper left portion of the front panel lights when the remote ZONE 2 feature of the RSP-1098 is in use.
Remote Control Overview
The RSP-1098 includes a full-function learning remote control that can operate the RSP-1098 plus nine other audio/video components.
A separate manual gives detailed instructions on programming and using the RR-1050 to replace all of the remote controls in your sys- tem. The RR-1050 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 informa- tion about using the RR-1050 to operate the RSP-1098 in this manual.
Many of the RR-1050 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-1050
AUDIO Button 
To operate the RSP-1098 with the remote, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press- ing the AUD button on the remote before you start. If one of the other buttons (CD, TAPE, etc.) is pressed, the remote will control another component, not the RSP-1098. The AUDIO mode will stay active until another DEVICE/ INPUT button is pressed.

Programming the RR-1050 PRELOAD Button 
The RR-1050 is programmed at the factory to operate the RSP-1098. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-1050 not operate the RSP-1098, the programming may have been inadvertently changed. To restore the RSP-1098 programming, press the recessed PRELOAD button on the remote with the tip of a ballpoint pen.
NOTE: Pushing the PRELOAD button will erase all custom programming and learned com- mands, restoring the RR-1050 to its factory condition.
MENU/OSD button 
Push this button on the remote to turn on the OSD menu system. If the menu system is al- ready visible, push this button to cancel the display.
The front panel TFT display can be turned off by pressing and holding the MENU/OSD button on the remote for three seconds. Briefly press the MENU/OSD button again to turn the display back on. The display also turns back on whenever the STANDBY button on the front panel or remote is pressed.
ENTER Button 
The ENTER button is used to confirm and memorize various settings in the setup and operation of the RSP-1098. Its use is described in detail in the relevant sections.
ON/OFF Buttons 
The power ON and OFF buttons on the re- mote 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.
POWER Button 
The POWER button on the remote provides the same basic function as the ON/OFF but- tons, except in a conventional toggle format. Press the button once to activate the unit; press again to put the unit into standby mode.
