Quick Setup Of The Rsp-1; A Note About "Learning" Remotes - Emotiva RSP-1 User Manual

Quick Setup of the RSP-1

Setting up your RSP-1 preamplifier is really very straightforward. All of the operations can either be done
through the front panel controls or through the dedicated remote.

A Note About "Learning" Remotes

As many home entertainment enthusiasts choose, you may elect to program the RSP-1 remote into a
"learning" type remote that is the single (Master) control for all of your home entertainment components. In
doing so, you can choose to omit certain setup functions if you wish so you do not inadvertently enter into
those functions during normal use with the master remote. A master remote can also provide a unified turn
on/off resource for all of the components in the system through the use of a macro program sequence.
Step 1 - After the RSP-1 is connected to the source components and the main amplifier(s), connect power
to the unit by plugging the power cord. If you have connected a turntable, make sure the ground
post is connected and the MM/MC selection switch is in the correct position for your cartridge
type. At this time, be sure that both of your loudspeakers have been connected to their respective
amplifier channels with the Emotiva RPA-1 amplifier or equivalent amplifier(s). If you are using a
powered subwoofer, also make sure that connection is complete at this time.
Step 2 - If you have chosen to use the HIGH PASS or SUB outputs, please make sure the HPF and LPF
settings are where you want them. Remember that most powered subwoofers have an on-board
crossover so if you are using that crossover, leave the LPF in the BYPASS position.
Step 3 - Ensure the CR2032 battery is in the RSP-1 remote control and functioning properly. It ships with the
battery pre-installed from the factory.
Step 4 - Press the POWER button on the front panel of the RSP-1 or on the remote control to power up the
unit.
Step 5 - Select any of the INPUTS on the RSP-1 remote and (if not already playing) power up and play that
same source component so you can check to see if your audio connections are correct.
Step 6 - Once you hear audio, check the balance control to ensure that the balance operates to the left and
right. Ensure the MONO switch is not engaged during this evaluation.
Step 7 - Next check the Bass and Treble controls to ensure that they operate correctly. Ensure the DIRECT
switch is not engaged during this evaluation.
Step 8 - Next select the other inputs that have been connected (while those sources are playing) to ensure
each connected source unit is correctly connected to the RSP-1 on the appropriate input. Check the
operation of the balance, bass, and treble on each input.
Step 9 - If connected, check the operation of the tape player and/or external signal processor.
