RSX-1055 Surround Sound Receiver
• Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RSX-1055 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-1055.
Zone 2 Power On/Off
Operation
Once master power is applied to the unit by
pressing the front-panel POWER button, the
RSX-1055 provides independent power on/
off operation for both zones. Pressing the re-
mote control POWER button in the main room
activates or deactivates the RSX-1055 in the
main room only and has no effect on Zone
2. Conversely, activating or deactivating Zone
2 has no effect on the main listening room.
However, placing the front-panel POWER but-
ton in the OFF position completely shuts off
the unit, for both zones.
NOTE
: For proper power on and off opera-
tion with Zone 2, the RSX-1055’s power mode
should be set to the factory default DIRECT
setting or to the STANDBY setting using the
OTHER OPTIONS menu from the ON-
SCREEN DISPLAY.
Controlling Zone 2
from the Main Room
ZONE Button
You can control Zone 2 from the front-panel
of the RSX-1055 – activate or deactivate Zone
2, change input sources, and adjust the vol-
ume. Controlling Zone 2 from the front-panel
is accomplished by pressing the ZONE but-
ton, which temporarily puts the RSX-1055 in
Zone 2 control mode, even if the unit is in
standby mode. When the ZONE button is
pressed, the FL DISPLAY shows the current status
of ZONE 2 for ten seconds, during which time
you can use the VOLUME control and INPUT
SOURCE buttons to change the ZONE 2 set-
tings. When ZONE 2 is active, the ZONE
indicator in the FL DISPLAY lights.
To turn Zone 2 on or off:
1. Press the front-panel ZONE button. The
status of Zone 2 appears in the display. If
Zone 2 is in standby, “ZONE OFF” ap-
pears. If Zone 2 is active, “ZONE xxxxx”
showing the current input source appears.
2. If Zone 2 is ON, pressing the ZONE but-
ton a second time within 10 seconds turns
it OFF. If Zone 2 is OFF, the second press
of the ZONE button turns it ON with the
last used input source and volume setting.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSX-1055 reverts to normal operation.
To change the Zone 2 input source:
1. Press the front-panel ZONE button. The
status of Zone 2 appears in the display.
Make sure that Zone 2 is ON.
2. Within 10 seconds after pressing the ZONE
button, press one of the INPUT SOURCE
buttons to select a new source for Zone 2.
The name of the selected source appears
in the display.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSX-1055 reverts to normal operation.
To change the Zone 2 volume:
1. Press the front-panel ZONE button. The
status of Zone 2 appears in the display.
Make sure that Zone 2 is ON.
2. Within 10 seconds after pressing the ZONE
button, adjust the volume control to change
the Zone 2 output level. The new setting
appears in the display.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSX-1055 reverts to normal operation.
Controlling Zone 2 from the
Remote Location
With a properly configured IR repeater sys-
tem, you have full control of Zone 2 using an
RR-969 remote from the Zone 2 location. You
can select and operate a source, adjust the
volume, and turn Zone 2 on or off. Whatever
commands you send from the RR-969 will
change Zone 2 and only Zone 2, just as if
you were controlling a totally independent
audio system in that room. These changes will
have no effect on the main listening room.
To turn Zone 2 on or off, press the POWER
button
on the remote. To adjust the volume
in Zone 2, press the VOLUME buttons
on
the remote. To select a different analog input
source, press one of the INPUT SOURCE but-
tons
on the remote.
When the TUNER source is not selected
in the main room, you can also access
the tuner functions (Preset, Tuning Up/Down,
Direct Preset Channel Selection, etc.) from
ZONE 2. This feature is not available when
the TUNER source is active in the main room
to avoid interrupting someone else’s listening
by changing the station.
NOTE
: The volume adjustment is only avail-
able if the Zone 2 outputs are configured to
use VARIABLE levels. With FIXED levels, the
volume control for Zone 2 is disabled.
Zone 2 Audio Outputs
See Figure 5.
These line-level RCA outputs send the Zone 2
audio signals to a stereo amplifier driving a
pair of speakers in the remote zone.
NOTE
: Only analog input signals are avail-
able at the Zone 2 outputs. Source compo-
nents connected to only the digital inputs are
not available in Zone 2.
Although you have the option of using an in-
tegrated amplifier or a receiver to power the
remote speakers, we suggest using a fixed-
gain power amplifier. This simplifies system
installation and operation. Your authorized Rotel
dealer may make another recommendation
based on specific system requirements.
To configure your system for Zone 2 opera-
tion, connect the left and right Zone 2
outputs
on the RSX-1055 to the left and right channel
inputs
of the amplifier powering the remote
speakers, using standard RCA audio cables.
NOTE
: By default, the Zone 2 outputs provide
a VARIABLE level signal, with control of the
volume from the RSX-1055 front-panel and/
or remote control from Zone 2. Alternatively,
you can configure these outputs for FIXED level,
which disables the volume control and sends
a fixed line-level signal to an amplifier with its
own volume control. See the ON-SCREEN DIS-
PLAY/Configuration section for details.
