RSX-1065 Surround Sound Receiver
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-1065 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-1065 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. This volume adjust-
ment is only available using the VARIABLE
output configuration. In FIXED output mode,
the volume control for Zone 2 is disabled.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSX-1065 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.
Alternatively, you can control Zone 2 opera-
tions from a keypad installed in the remote zone
and connected to the KEYPAD input on the
RSX-1065 using standard RJ-45 8-pin modu-
lar plugs and wiring.
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 7
These line-level RCA outputs send the Zone 2
audio signal 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-1065 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-1065 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.
ZONE REM IN Jack
See Figure 6
This 3.5 mm mini-jack accepts signals from a
infrared repeater located in Zone 2. A third-
party IR repeater system is required for opera-
tion of the RSX-1065’s ZONE 2 functions from
the remote zone.
NOTE
:
ZONE 2 and its IR repeater must be in
a different location than RSX-1065 to prevent
IR commands intended to control Zone 2 from
inadvertently controlling the main room op-
erations.
IR OUT Jacks
See Figure 6
The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals re-
ceived at the ZONE REM IN jack or the EX-
TERNAL REM IN jack to an infrared emitter
placed in front of a source component or to
Rotel CD players, cassette decks, or tuners with
a compatible rear panel IR connector.
This output is used to allow IR signals from Zone
2 to be sent to the source components, or to
pass along IR signals from a remote in the main
room when the sensors on the source compo-
nents are blocked by installation in a cabinet.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for information
on IR repeater systems.
NOTE
: The EXT REM IN jack located to the
right of these jacks is for use with an external
IR sensor duplicating the front-panel IR sen-
sor and located in the primary zone. It should
not be used for ZONE 2 IR connections.
