Basic Operations

This section covers the basic operating con-
trols of the RSP-1068 and the remote.

Power and Standby On/Off

The rear panel POWER switch on the RSP-1068
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
RSP-1068 is activated and deactivated using
the front panel STANDBY button, the remote
control POWER button, or the remote ON/
OFF buttons. When activated, the RSP-1068
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.
: When the unit has AC power applied
NOTE
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
RSP-1068, 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
RSP-1068 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 RSP-1068 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 the front panel
display. The current volume setting is also shown
on the SYSTEM STATUS OSD screen.
: The VOLUME controls can be used to
NOTE
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 RSP-1068 can be turned
off or muted. Push the MUTE button on 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 out-
put levels.

Selecting Inputs

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.
All of the source inputs can be customized using
the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY configuration menus
to accept either analog signals or digital sig-
nals from one of the five assignable digital
inputs. When a digital input is assigned, the
RSP-1068 checks for the presence of a digi-
tal signal at that input. If a digital signal is present
when the source is selected, it is automatically
activated and the proper surround mode en-
