Basic Operations
This section covers the basic operating controls
of the RX-1052 and the remote.
Power and Standby On/Off
A
2\
The rear panel POWER switch on the RX-1052
is a master power switch. The switch must be
in the ON position for the unit to operate.
When it is in the OFF position, the unit is ful-
ly 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
RX-1052 is activated and deactivated using
the front panel STANDBY button or the re-
mote ON/OFF buttons. When activated, the
RX-1052 is fully functional and the front pan-
el 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
0
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 functions as
, and
a toggle switch. Press the button to activate
the unit; press again to put the unit in standby
mode. The ON/OFF buttons on the remote
serve the same function, but provide discrete
ON (active) or OFF (standby) commands.
NOTE: When using the Zone 2 – 4 capabil-
ity of the RX-1052, standby is independent
for the main room and the remote zones.
ON/OFF commands sent from the remote in
the main room will not affect the other zones.
Pressing the ON/OFF buttons on a remote
located in a remote zone will only affect that
zone and not the main room. To switch
all zones to standby mode from any
room, press and hold the OFF button.
When a remote zone is activated, the Zone
LED on the front panel lights.
There are three available power mode op-
tions, which may be useful in configuring the
RX-1052 for special system configurations.
See the Setting Power Mode topic for addi-
tional details.
