Zone 2 Operation

The RSX-1067 provides Zone 2 multi-room capability, allowing you to enjoy music and operate the system from a second room. From the remote location, you can select a source component (independent from the source play- ing in the main room), adjust the volume level in the remote zone, and operate the source components.

To use the Zone 2 capability, you need addi- tional components: a pair of speakers installed in the remote zone, an amplifier to drive them, an optional TV monitor for video signals, and a third-party IR repeater system.

Zone 2 can be controlled from the main room using RSX-1067’s front panel or remote con- trol ZONE button. Operation from the remote zone requires the installation of an infrared repeater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which relays infrared remote control commands from Zone 2 to the ZONE REM IN connector on the back of the RSX-1067.

Several points to keep in mind about the Zone

2 function:

•There are two options for the Zone 2 out- put level, selectable from the OSD configu- ration menu. VARIABLE output provides full adjustment of the volume level. FIXED out- put disables the Zone 2 volume control with the output permanently set to a specified level. This might be useful for sending a line level signal to a preamp or integrated amp with its own volume control or to a distribution amplifier with multiple volume controls.

•The RR-1050 remote control supplied with the RSX-1067 will operate Zone 2 if used with a repeater system from the remote zone. It can also be programmed to op- erate Rotel source components via the RSX-1067's IR OUT jack.

•Any source component connected to the RSX-1067's analog inputs can be sent to the Zone 2 outputs. ZONE 2 operates in- dependently of the main room. You can select a different source or adjust Zone 2 volume without affecting the MAIN outputs in any way.

•Avoid sending the same infrared command to the RSX-1067 front panel sensor and a Zone 2 repeater at the same time. This means that Zone 2 must be in a different room from the RSX-1067.

Zone 2 Power On/Off

Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the rear panel POWER switch but- ton, the RSX-1067 provides independent power on/off operation for both zones. Pressing the remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main room activates or deactivates the RSX-1067 in the main room only and has no effect on Zone 2. Conversely, activating or deactivat- ing Zone 2 has no effect on the main listen- ing room. However, placing the rear panel master POWER switch in the OFF position com- pletely shuts off the unit, for both zones.

NOTE: For proper power on and off opera- tion with Zone 2, the RSX-1067’s power mode should be set to the factory default DIRECT setting or to the STANDBY setting using the Other Options menu described in the Setup section of this manual.
