Basic Operations

This section covers the basic operating con- trols of the RSX-1056 and the remote.

Power and Standby On/Off

The rear panel POWER switch on the RSX-1056 is a master power switch. The button must be in the ON position for the unit to operate. 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 RSX-1056 is activated and deactivated using the front panel STANDBY button, the remote control POWER button, or the remote ON/ OFF buttons. When activated, the RSX-1056 is fully functional and the front panel display illuminated. When deactivated, the unit goes into a standby mode, with minimal power applied 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, regardless of whether the unit is in standby mode or activated.

The front panel STANDBY button and the re- mote control POWER button function as toggle 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 (ac- tive) or OFF (standby) commands.

When using the Zone 2 capability of the RSX-1056, the standby activation is com- pletely independent for the main room and Zone 2. ON/OFF commands sent from the remote in the main room will not affect Zone

2.Pressing the ON/OFF buttons on a remote located in Zone 2 will only affect that zone and not the main room. When the unit is ac- tivated in ZONE 2, the ZONE 2 LED on the front panel is lit.

There are three available power mode options, which may be useful in configuring the RSX-1056 for special system configurations. See the Other Options menu in the Setup section of this manual for additional details on changing the default standby behavior.
