RSX-1056 Surround Sound Receiver
Many of the RR-1050 functions duplicate the
front panel controls. For that reason, we cover
the controls on the remote under appropriate
topics throughout this manual. Letters in gray
boxes next to the name of a function refers to
the labeled illustration of the remote at the
front of this manual.
Using the RR-1050
AUDIO Button
To operate the RSX-1056 with the remote, make
sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press-
ing the AUD button on the remote before you
start. If one of the other buttons (CD, TAPE,
etc.) is pressed, the remote will control another
component, not the RSX-1056. The AUDIO
mode will stay active until another DEVICE/
INPUT button is pressed.
Programming the RR-1050
PRELOAD Button
The RR-1050 is programmed at the factory to
operate the RSX-1056. Should the AUDIO
command set on your RR-1050 not operate
the RSX-1056, the programming may have
been inadvertently changed. To restore the
RSX-1056 programming, press the recessed
PRELOAD button on the remote with the tip
of a ballpoint pen.
NOTE
: Pushing the PRELOAD button will erase
all custom programming and learned com-
mands, restoring the RR-1050 to its factory
condition.

front panel and the remote control.

DEVICE/INPUT Buttons
The top row of buttons on the front panel plus
the MULTI INPUT button are used to select

These buttons are duplicated on the remote,
except that the MULTI INPUT button is labeled

Short press: A short press of any button
changes the device that the remote operates,
but does not change the RSX-1056’s input
selection.
Long press: A longer press changes the re-
mote control device and changes the source
input for listening/viewing in the main room.

the input to the 7.1 channel analog MULTI

associated with this button.
