Basic Operations

This section covers the basic operating controls of the RX-1052 and the remote.

Power and Standby On/Off

2\A

The rear panel POWER switch on the RX-1052 is a master power switch. The switch must be in the ON position for the unit to operate. When it is in the OFF position, the unit is ful- ly 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 RX-1052 is activated and deactivated using the front panel STANDBY button or the re- mote ON/OFF buttons. When activated, the RX-1052 is fully functional and the front pan- el 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 functions as a toggle switch. Press the button to activate the unit; press again to put the unit in standby mode. The ON/OFF buttons on the remote serve the same function, but provide discrete ON (active) or OFF (standby) commands.

NOTE: When using the Zone 2 – 4 capabil- ity of the RX-1052, standby is independent for the main room and the remote zones. ON/OFF commands sent from the remote in the main room will not affect the other zones. Pressing the ON/OFF buttons on a remote located in a remote zone will only affect that zone and not the main room. To switch all zones to standby mode from any room, press and hold the OFF button. When a remote zone is activated, the Zone LED on the front panel lights.

There are three available power mode op- tions, which may be useful in configuring the RX-1052 for special system configurations. See the Setting Power Mode topic for addi- tional details.

Volume Adjustments wC

The listening volume of the RX-1052 can be adjusted from the front panel or the remote.

Front Panel: Rotate the front panel VOL- UME knob clockwise to increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease.

Remote: Press the VOL UP button to increase the volume; press the VOL DOWN button to decrease.

With any input other than the Tuner, the Vol- ume setting is displayed as two digits follow- ing the input name:

Example: VIDEO 1 45

When adjusting the volume with the tuner in- put selected, the tuning frequency display is temporarily changed to a volume indication:

Example: VOLUME 45

NOTE: The VOLUME controls can be used to change the volume in the remote zones from the main room. Press the SEL button repeat- edly until the desired zone appears in the front panel display, then adjust the volume. After 10 seconds, the VOLUME control re- verts to normal operation. The default zone volume is 60.
