AM Antenna 
See Figure 12
The RSX-1057 includes a plastic loop anten- na to receive AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from the box and locate it near the RSX-1057. It can be tacked to a wall, using the mounting tab provided. Alternatively, you can fold the center portion of the antenna to form a tabletop stand.
Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from the loop antenna to the push terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each terminal. It does not matter which wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure that the connections are solid and that the two wires do not touch.
You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient the antenna to find the best position.
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its
300ohm twin-conductor wire to the terminals in place of the loop antenna.
FM Antenna 
See Figure 12
The RSX-1057 is supplied with a T-shaped in- door FM antenna. Connect the coax F-type plug to the FM antenna connector on the RSX-1057. For best reception, unfold the T-shaped anten- na. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment with positioning for best reception.
NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connec- tor instead of the indoor wire antenna, only after a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local electrical codes.

OPERATING THE
RSX-1057
Considering its large number of features, set- tings, and options, the RSX-1057 is remark- ably easy to operate. The key to operating the RSX-1057 is its system of On-Screen Dis- plays (OSD) which guide you through vari- ous choices.
The RSX-1057 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 RSX-1057, 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, adjust- ing volume, selecting a source for listening, etc. Following that is a detailed explanation of surround sound modes and how to con- figure the RSX-1057 for various types of re- cordings. Finally, there are instructions for additional features and Zone 2 operations. All of these are features that may be used in normal use. The last section of the manual (Configuration) details options that may be selected during initial setup and configura- tion of the unit, many of which will be set once and left untouched.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes refer to the RSX-1057 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 RSX-1057 and the remote. When only one appears, that function is found only on the RSX-1057 or the remote.

Front Panel Overview
The following is a brief overview of the con- trol and features on the front panel of the RSX-1057. Details concerning the use of these controls are provided in subsequent sections of this manual describing various tasks.
Front-panel Display 
The fluorescent (FL) display in the upper por- tion of the RSX-1057 provides information about the status of the unit, tuner reception, and activation of special features. The main portion of the display typically shows the cur- rent input source (or radio station frequency) selected for listening on the left side and the current input source selected for recording on the right.
Icons along the left side of the display show the currently selected digital input. Icons at the right of the display show individual sur- round channels and are used in configur- ing the system. Icons across the bottom of the display show the current surround mode and other special features. Icons at the top of display assist in tuning radio stations and operation of RDS/RBDS features.
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 RSX-1057 includes a full-function learning remote control that can operate the RSX-1057 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 RSX-1057 in this manual.
