DISP Button
There are five display options when the cur-
rently tuned station is broadcasting RDS infor-
mation and the RDS indicator in the front-panel
display is lit. Press the DISP button on the re-
mote to step through the five display options:
1. Standard FREQUENCY display.
2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically
the station’s call letters, such as BBC1. If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show “NO
NAME DATA”.
3. PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of
the station’s content from a standardized
list of program types in each market. If the
current station is not broadcasting an RDS
signal, the display will show “NO PTY
DATA”.
4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display
broadcast by the station. If the current sta-
tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the
display will show “NO TIME DATA”.
5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text
messages broadcast by the station. If the
current station is broadcasting radio text
data, an RT indicator lights in the display
and the scrolling text appears. If the cur-
rent station is not broadcasting an RDS sig-
nal, the display will show “NO TEXT DATA”.
PTY Button
The PTY search function permits you to scan
available broadcasts for RDS stations broad-
casting a particular type of program content.
1. Press the PTY button. The current RDS pro-
gram type will appear in the display.
2. If desired, change to a different PROGRAM
TYPE using the TUNING UP/DOWN but-
tons to scroll through the list.
3. Press the PTY button a second time within
10 seconds. The tuner will attempt to find
an RDS station broadcasting the selected
type of program. If the button is not pressed
within 10 seconds after selecting a program
type, the PTY function will be cancelled.
4. If no station is located for the desired con-
tent type, the tuner will return to the last
previously tuned station.
5. Cancel the PTY function by pressing any
other button.
NOTE

casting PTY data, a PTY indicator lights in the
front-panel display.

Zone 2 Operation
The RSX-1067 provides Zone 2 multi-room
capability, allowing you to enjoy music and
operate the system from a second room. From
the remote location, you can select a source
component (independent from the source play-
ing in the main room), adjust the volume level
in the remote zone, and operate the source
components.
To use the Zone 2 capability, you need addi-
tional components: a pair of speakers installed
in the remote zone, an amplifier to drive them,
an optional TV monitor for video signals, and
a third-party IR repeater system.
Zone 2 can be controlled from the main room
using RSX-1067’s front panel or remote con-
trol ZONE button. Operation from the remote
zone requires the installation of an infrared
repeater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which
relays infrared remote control commands from
Zone 2 to the ZONE REM IN connector on
the back of the RSX-1067.
Several points to keep in mind about the Zone
2 function:
There are two options for the Zone 2 out-
put level, selectable from the OSD configu-
ration menu. VARIABLE output provides full
adjustment of the volume level. FIXED out-
put disables the Zone 2 volume control with
the output permanently set to a specified level.
This might be useful for sending a line level
signal to a preamp or integrated amp with
its own volume control or to a distribution
amplifier with multiple volume controls.
The RR-1050 remote control supplied with
the RSX-1067 will operate Zone 2 if used
with a repeater system from the remote
zone. It can also be programmed to op-
erate Rotel source components via the
RSX-1067's IR OUT jack.
Any source component connected to the
RSX-1067's analog inputs can be sent to
the Zone 2 outputs. ZONE 2 operates in-
dependently of the main room. You can
select a different source or adjust Zone 2
volume without affecting the MAIN outputs
in any way.
Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RSX-1067 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-1067.
Zone 2 Power On/Off
Once master power is applied to the unit by
pressing the rear panel POWER switch but-
ton, the RSX-1067 provides independent power
on/off operation for both zones. Pressing the
remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main
room activates or deactivates the RSX-1067
in the main room only and has no effect on
Zone 2. Conversely, activating or deactivat-
ing Zone 2 has no effect on the main listen-
ing room. However, placing the rear panel
master POWER switch in the OFF position com-
pletely shuts off the unit, for both zones.
NOTE
: For proper power on and off opera-
tion with Zone 2, the RSX-1067’s power mode
should be set to the factory default DIRECT
setting or to the STANDBY setting using the
Other Options menu described in the Setup
section of this manual.
