independently of the main room. You can select a different source or adjust remote zone volume without affecting the MAIN outputs in any way.

•Avoid sending the same infrared command to the receiver’s front panel sensor and to a remote zone repeater at the same time. This means that remote zones must be in a different room from the receiver.

Remote Zone Power On/Off

Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the rear panel POWER switch button, the receiver provides independent power on/off operation for the remote zones. Pressing the remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main room activates or deactivates the receiver in the main room only and has no effect on the remote zones. Conversely, activating or deactivating Zone 2, 3, or 4 has no effect on the main listening room. However, placing the rear panel master POWER switch in the OFF position completely shuts off the unit, for all zones.

Note: For proper power on and off operation with remote zones, the receiver’s power mode should be set to the factory default STANDBY setting or to the DIRECT setting using the OTHER OPTIONS menu described in the Setup section of this manual.

Controlling Zones 2–4 from the Main Room 6-eAQTU

You can control Zones 2–4 from the main room using front-panel or remote control buttons to activate or deactivate Zones 2–4, change input sources, and adjust the volume. Controlling Zone 2, 3 or 4 from the main room is accomplished by pressing the SEL button on the front panel or REC button on the remote two or more times, putting the receiver in Zone 2, 3 or 4 control mode temporarily. When Zone 2, 3 or 4 status is displayed, the OSD and/or front-panel displays show the current source selection and volume in that zone for ten seconds, during which time you can use the front panel VOLUME control and INPUT buttons to change the ZONE 2, 3 or 4 settings.

To turn Zone 2, 3 or 4 on or off:

1.Press the front panel SEL or remote REC button repeatedly until the desired zone status appears in the OSD and front panel displays.

2.Within 10 seconds, press the front panel or remote ZONE button to toggle the selected Zone on or off.

3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the receiver reverts to normal operation.

To change the Zone 2, 3 or 4 input source:

1.Press the front panel SEL or remote REC button repeatedly until the desired zone status appears in the OSD and front panel displays.

2.Within 10 seconds, press one of the INPUT buttons to select a new source for the selected zone. The name of the selected source appears in the display. Instead of pressing an INPUT button, you can also push the +/– buttons on the remote to step through the inputs.

3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the receiver reverts to normal operation.

To change Zone 2, 3 or 4 volume:

1.Press the front panel SEL or remote REC button repeatedly until the desired zone status appears in the OSD and front panel displays.

2.Within 10 seconds, adjust the volume control on the front panel or remote to change the output level for the selected zone. The new setting appears in the display.

3.Following 10 seconds with no commands, the receiver reverts to normal operation.

Controlling Zones 2–4 from the Remote Locations AQTU

With a properly configured IR repeater system, you have full control of Zones 2–4 using the supplied remote control, from the zone locations. You can select and operate a source, adjust the volume, and turn

the relevant Zone on or off. Whatever commands you send from the RR-1061 will change ONLY the Zone for the location you are in, just as if you were controlling a totally independent audio system in that room. These changes will not affect the main listening room.

To turn the Zone on or off, press the ON/OFF buttons on the remote. To adjust the volume in the Zone, press the VOLUME buttons on the remote. To select a different analog input source, press one of the DEVICE/INPUT buttons on the remote. You can also use the +/– buttons to step through the source inputs.

All OFF command: A long press of the OFF button (more than 3 seconds) from any room, sets all rooms to standby, i.e., the receiver goes to standby completely.

Note: The volume adjustment is only available if the Zone 2–4 outputs are configured to use VARIABLE levels. With FIXED levels, the volume control for Zones 2–4 is disabled.

Note: The RR-1061 remote control can be set to send individual IR commands for each zone. Please refer to the setup manual supplied with the RR-1061 to program this function.
