Selecting the Same Input
for all Outputs erRS
You may wish to have the same input for listen-
ing, recording, and all of the remote zones. The
RX-1052 makes this configuration (called Party
Mode) easy by linking the inputs for recording
and remote zones to the input selected for listen
-
ing. When linked, changing the input selection
for listening will automatically change the input
for recording and remote zones.
To activate Party Mode, press and hold
one of the remote control Input buttons at
main room or press and hold the ZONE but
-
ton for 3 seconds. The word PARTY appears
in the display and the ZONE LED flashes for
ten seconds. The record input selection and
all remote zone input selections will be dis
-
played as “SOURCE”, indicating that they
are linked to the input selected for listening.
While in PARTY mode, a “P” indicator ap
-
pears in the display.
To cancel Party mode, press and hold
the SEL button for at least 3 seconds. Party
Mode is cancelled as indicated by the tem
-
porary display of the words PARTY OFF in
the front panel display. The recording input
and the inputs for all remote zones revert to
their last previous selection, no longer linked
to the listening input.
You can also cancel the link for just the record
output or for one individual zone by selecting
a different input for that output. In this case,
the input selection for the unchanged record
output or remote zones remained linked to the
listening input selection. Any source change
cancels the “P” indicator in the display.
