RSX-1056Surround Sound Receiver

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.

STANDBY Button

POWER Button

The front panel STANDBY button and the re- mote control POWER button activate or de- activate the unit. The rear panel master POWER switch must be in the ON position for the re- mote standby function to operate.

D-SLT Button

Press this button to change the digital input associated with the current source input.

REC Buttons

Press either of these buttons before pressing (long press on the remote) any DEVICE/IN- PUT button to select a source for recording.

Using the RR-1050

AUDIO Button

To operate the RSX-1056 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 RSX-1056. 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 RSX-1056. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-1050 not operate the RSX-1056, the programming may have been inadvertently changed. To restore the RSX-1056 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.

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 a provided in the more complete operating instructions in the follow- ing sections. Buttons or controls identified with a number appear on the front panel. Those identified 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.

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.

VOLUME Knob

VOLUME Button

The large rocker button on the remote and the large rotary control on the front panel provide the master VOLUME control, adjusting the output level of all channels simultaneously.

MUTE Buttons

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: Pressing the volume buttons on the re- mote also cancels the muting function.

DEVICE/INPUT Buttons

The top row of buttons on the front panel plus the MULTI INPUT button are used to select source inputs for listening/viewing.

These buttons are duplicated on the remote, except that the MULTI INPUT button is labeled EXT and the remote buttons have two functions:

Short press: A short press of any button changes the device that the remote operates, but does not change the RSX-1056’s input selection.

Long press: A longer press changes the re- mote control device and changes the source input for listening/viewing in the main room.

NOTE: A long press of the EXT button changes the input to the 7.1 channel analog MULTI INPUT. Pressing the AUD button only changes the remote device; there is no input source associated with this button.

The signal from the selected source appears at the TAPE OUT and VIDEO OUT connectors.

ZONE Buttons

Press either of these buttons before pressing (long press on the remote) any DEVICE/IN- PUT button to select a source for ZONE 2.

UP/DOWN Buttons

These two buttons on the remote are used to move the cursor up or down to select lines in the OSD menus. These buttons are also used in conjunction with the TONE button to make CONTOUR/TONE adjustments.

+/– Buttons

These two buttons on the remote are used to change settings on a selected line in the OSD menus. Also used for selecting options in some surround modes.

Speaker Selection Buttons

These three buttons on the remote are used to select a speaker or group of speakers for temporary level adjustments. In addition, the C button is used in conjunction with the UP/ DOWN buttons for temporary adjustment of group delay/lip synch.

EQ Button

This button on the remote is used to turn on and off the Cinema EQ feature, a high-cut filter useful for older movie soundtracks.

TONE Button

This button on the remote is used for tempo- rary Contour adjustments. It toggles between high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) modes. Once a mode is selected, the UP/ DOWN buttons are used to make the adjust- ments to the speaker or speakers selected in the Contour Setup menu.

NOTE: Permanent contour adjustments can be made using the Contour Setup menu.
