Remote Zone Operation; Remote Zone Power On/Off - Rotel RSP-1069 Manuel D'utilisation

Remote Zone Operation

The RSP-1069 provides multi-zone capabil-
ity, allowing you to enjoy music and operate
the system from a second, third, and fourth
room. From the remote location, you can se-
lect a source component (independent from
the source playing in the main room), adjust
the volume level in the remote zone, and op-
erate the source components.
To use the remote zone capability, you need
additional components: a pair of speakers
installed in the remote zone, an amplifi er
to drive them, an optional TV monitor for
video signals, and a third-party IR repeat-
er system.
Zone 2, 3, or 4 can be controlled from the
main room using RSP-1069's front panel or
remote control ZONE button. Operation from
the remote zone requires the installation of
an infrared repeater system (from Rotel or
other suppliers) which relays infrared remote
control commands from remote zone to the
ZONE 2–4 REM IN connectors on the back
of the RSP-1069.
Several points about the remote zone func-
tion:
• There are two options for the remote zone
output level, selectable from the ZONE SET-
UP confi guration menu. VARIABLE output
provides full adjustment of the volume level.
FIXED output disables the remote zone vol-
ume control with the output permanently set
to a specifi ed 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 amplifi er with multiple
volume controls.
• The RR-1060 remote control supplied with
the RSP-1069 will operate the remote zones
if used with a repeater system from the
remote zone. It can also be programmed
to operate Rotel source components via
the RSP-1069's IR OUT jack.
• Any source component connected to the
RSP-1069's analog inputs can be sent to
the remote zone outputs. The remote zones
operate independently of the main room.
You can select a different source or adjust
remote zone volume without affecting the
MAIN outputs in any way.

• Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RSP-1069 front panel sensor and a
remote zone repeater at the same time.
This means that remote zones must be
in a different room from the RSP-1069.

Remote Zone Power On/Off

Once master power is applied to the unit
by pressing the rear panel POWER switch
button, the RSP-1069 provides independent
power on/off operation for the remote zones.
Pressing the remote control ON/OFF buttons
in the main room activates or deactivates the
RSP-1069 in the main room only and has no
effect on the remote zones. Conversely, ac-
tivating or deactivating Zone 2, 3, or 4 has
no effect on the main listening room. How-
ever, placing the rear panel master POWER
switch in the OFF position completely shuts
off the unit, for all zones.
: For proper power on and off operation
NOTE
with remote zones, the RSP-1069's power
mode should be set to the factory default
STANDBY setting or to the DIRECT setting
using the OTHER OPTIONS menu described
in the Setup section of this manual.
Controlling Zones 2–4
from the Main Room
You can control Zones 2–4 from the main room
using front-panel or remote control buttons
to activate or deactivate Zones 2–4, change
input sources, and adjust the volume. Con-
trolling Zone 2, 3 or 4 from the main room is
accomplished by pressing the SEL button on
the front panel or REC button on the remote
two or more times, putting the RSP-1069 in
Zone 2, 3 or 4 control mode temporarily.
When Zone 2, 3 or 4 status is displayed,
the OSD and/or front-panel displays show
the current source selection and volume in
that zone for ten seconds, during which time
you can use the front panel VOLUME control
and INPUT buttons to change the ZONE 2,
3 or 4 settings.
To turn a remote zone on or off:
1. Press the front panel SEL button or remote
REC button two or more times until the de-
sired Zone 2, 3, or 4 status appears in
the OSD and front panel displays.
2. Within 10 seconds, press the front panel
or remote ZONE button to toggle the re-
mote zone on or off.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSP-1069 reverts to normal opera-
tion.
To change a remote zone input
source:
1. Press the front panel SEL button or remote
REC button two or more times until the de-
sired Zone 2, 3, or 4 status appears in
the OSD and front panel displays.
2. Within 10 seconds, press one of the IN-
PUT buttons to select a new source for the
remote zone. The name of the selected
source appears in the display. Instead of
pressing an INPUT button, you can also
push the +/– buttons on the remote to step
through the inputs.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSP-1069 reverts to normal opera-
tion.
To change a remote zone volume:
1. Press the front panel SEL button or remote
REC button two or more times until the de-
sired Zone 2, 3, or 4 status appears in
the OSD and front panel displays.
2. Within 10 seconds, adjust the volume
control on the front panel or remote to
change the remote zone output level. The
new setting appears in the display.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RSP-1069 reverts to normal opera-
tion.
: You can disable the ability to control
NOTE
remote zones from the main room remote
control by changing the DISCRETE setting on
the Other Options Menu from NO to YES.
After changing the setting, all commands from
the main room remote control change only
the main room, even when a remote zone is
selected for control.
