TUNING Buttons
The TUNING buttons (labeled CH UP/DOWN
on the remote control) provide three different
tuning functions, depending on the mode of
operation: frequency tuning, preset tuning, or
selection of an RDS/RBDS program type.
MEMORY Button
The front panel MEMORY button is used with
the NUMERIC buttons to store station presets.
NUMERIC Buttons
The NUMERIC buttons on the front panel or
the remote are used to enter the number of a
memorized station preset or for direct entry
of a station frequency.
DIRECT Button
FRQ DIRECT Button
The front panel DIRECT and remote control FRQ
DIRECT buttons are used in conjunction with
the NUMERIC buttons for direct entry of a sta-
tion frequency in AM/FM tuning.
MONO Button
FM MONO Button
The front panel MONO and remote control
FM MONO buttons change the FM mode from
stereo reception to mono reception.
TUNE Button
PRESET Button
P-TUN Button
The TUNE, PRESET, and P-TUN buttons on the
remote are used to select FREQUENCY tun-
ing or PRESET tuning modes. The TUNE and
PRESET buttons select the modes directly. The
P-TUN button toggles between the two modes.
SCAN Button
Preset scan tuning automatically scans through
the memorized station presets, playing each
for 5 seconds. Press the SCAN button on the
remote to begin preset scanning. Press the but-
ton again to stop the scanning and listen to
the desired preset.
RDS/RBDS Buttons
Four remote control buttons (DISP, PTY, TP, TA)
are used to activate various RDS/RBDS tun-
ing features. See the
RDB/RBDS Tuning
sec-
tion of the manual for detailed information.
Basic Operations
This section covers the basic operating con-
trols of the RSX-1067 and the remote.
Power and Standby On/Off
The rear panel POWER switch on the RSX-1067
is a master power switch. The button must be
in the ON position for the unit to operate. When
it is in the OFF position, the unit is fully 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
RSX-1067 is activated and deactivated using
the front panel STANDBY button, the remote
control POWER button, or the remote ON/
OFF buttons. When activated, the RSX-1067
is fully functional and the front panel 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 and the re-
mote control POWER button function as toggle
switches. Press either button to activate the unit.
Press either button again to put the unit in
standby mode.
The ON/OFF buttons on the remote serve the
same function, but provide discrete ON (ac-
tive) or OFF (standby) commands.
When using the Zone 2 capability of the
RSX-1067, the standby activation is com-
pletely independent for the main room and
Zone 2. ON/OFF commands sent from the
remote in the main room will not affect Zone
2. Pressing the ON/OFF buttons on a remote
located in Zone 2 will only affect that zone
and not the main room. When the unit is ac-
tivated in ZONE 2, the ZONE 2 LED on the
front panel is lit.
There are three available power mode options,
which may be useful in configuring the
RSX-1067 for special system configurations.
See the
Other Options
menu in the
Setup
section
of this manual for additional details on changing
the default standby behavior.
Volume Adjustments
The listening volume of the RSX-1067 can be
adjusted from the front panel or the remote.
Front Panel: Rotate the front panel VOLUME
knob clockwise to increase the volume, coun-
terclockwise to decrease.
Remote: Press the VOL UP button to increase
the volume; press the VOL DOWN button to
decrease.
When you adjust the volume, the setting is
shown on the TV monitor and/or the front panel
display. The current volume setting is also shown
on the SYSTEM STATUS OSD screen.
NOTE
: The VOLUME controls can be used to
change the volume in Zone 2. Press the front-
panel or remote control ZONE button and
adjust the volume. After 10 seconds, the
VOLUME control reverts to normal operation.
Muting the Sound
The volume of the RSX-1067 can be turned
off or muted. Push the MUTE button on the front
panel or the remote once to turn the sound
off. A MUTE indication appears in the OSD
and the front panel displays. Press the MUTE
button again or adjust the volume settings to
restore output levels.
Selecting Inputs
Input Buttons
You can select any of nine source inputs for
listening and/or watching: CD, TUNER, TAPE,
VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VIDEO
5, or MULTI INPUT.
The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN
DISPLAY show the name of the current listen-
ing source selection. The labels for VIDEO
sources can be customized to match your
components.
NOTE
: When the TUNER input source button
is pressed, the frequency of the currently tuned
station is displayed. Pressing the button again
toggles the display to show the word TUNER
instead of the frequency display.
