Selecting An Input For Recording; Selecting An Input For The Remote Zones; Selecting The Same Input For All Outputs; Am/Fm Tuning - Rotel RX-1052 Owner's Manual

When the CD button on the remote is pushed,
the remote can control basic transport and nu-
meric input functions of Rotel CD players. When
the V4 button on the remote is pushed, the re-
mote can be used to control basic transport func-
tions of Rotel DVD players. Control functions for
CD and DVD players are only functional until
a different INPUT button is pressed.
The INPUT buttons can also be used (follow-
ing a press of the SEL or ZONE buttons) to
select an input source signal to be available
at the outputs for recording or for use in any
of the remote zones.
Selecting an Input for
Recording
The RX-1052 allows independent selection
of an input source for recording, allowing
you to record one source while listening to
another. The input signal selected for record-
ing appears at the TAPE OUT and VIDEO 1/
VIDEO 2 audio and video outputs.
Press the SEL button. The word REC appears
in display. Then, press one of the INPUT but-
tons within 5 seconds to change the input
selection. After 5 seconds with no selection,
the INPUT buttons revert to normal operation,
selecting a source for listening.
Selecting an Input for the
Remote Zones
The RX-1052 allows independent selection of
an input source for each of the three remote
zones (ZONES 2–4), allowing you to listen
to different sources in each zone. The input
signal selected for a zone appears at the au-
dio and video outputs for that zone.
Press the SEL button repeatedly until the desired
zone (Z2, Z3, Z4, MAIN) followed by an input
name appears in the front panel display. Then,
press one of the eight INPUT buttons within 10
seconds to change the input selection for that
zone. Alternatively, you can press the CHARAC-
TER +/– buttons on the remote to step through
all of the inputs. After 10 seconds with no selec-
tion, the INPUT buttons revert to normal opera-
tion, selecting a source for listening.
: Pressing the ZONE button without first
NOTE
selecting a zone with the SEL button allows
control of ZONE 2. You can select an input
for ZONE 2 within ten seconds.

Selecting the Same Input
for all Outputs
You may wish to have the same input for lis-
tening, recording, and all of the remote zones.
The RX-1052 makes this configuration (called
Party Mode) easy by linking the inputs for re-
cording and remote zones to the input selected
for listening. When linked, changing the input
selection for listening will automatically change
the input for recording and remote zones.
To activate Party Mode, press and hold
the ZONE button for 3 seconds. The word
PARTY appears in the display and the ZONE
LED flashes for ten seconds. The record input
selection and all remote zone input selections
will be displayed as "SOURCE", indicating
that they are linked to the input selected for
listening. While in PARTY mode, a "P" indi-
cator appears in the display.
To cancel Party mode, press and hold
the SEL button for at least 3 seconds. Party
Mode is cancelled as indicated by the tem-
porary display of the words PARTY OFF in
the front panel display. The recording input
and the inputs for all remote zones revert to
their last previous selection, no longer linked
to the listening input.
You can also cancel the link for just the record
output or for one individual zone by selecting
a different input for that output. In this case,
the input selection for the unchanged record
output or remote zones remained linked to the
listening input selection. Any source change
cancels the "P" indicator in the display.

AM/FM Tuning

The RX-1052 features a digital synthesized
AM/FM tuner and 30 station presets. The unit
offers a wide range of tuning options. Here is
an overview of the tuning options (more de-
tailed information is provided in subsequent
sections of this manual):
• Manual frequency tuning tunes up or
down to the next station frequency (when
in frequency tuning mode). Press and re-
lease a TUNING button to tune.
• Direct frequency tuning lets you enter
the desired station frequency digits. Press
the DIRECT button and enter the digits us-
ing the NUMERIC buttons.
• Automatic frequency search tun-
ing searches up or down to find the next
receivable broadcast signal. Press and
hold a TUNING button for at least one
second to search up or down.
• Station preset tuning lets you directly
enter the number of a memorized station
preset. Enter the number of the memorized
preset using the NUMERIC buttons.
• Preset tuning jumps up/down to the
next memorized station preset. When in
PRESET mode, press a TUNING button
to select the next station preset. Press the
TUNE/PRESET button on the front panel
or the T/P button on the remote to toggle
between preset and frequency tuning
modes.
: The RX-1052 comes configured for
NOTE
tuning in the market where you purchased
it (N. America or Europe). To change this
default setting, see the Setup section of this
manual.

Selecting AM or FM

Press a BAND button on the front panel or
remote to toggle between AM and FM recep-
tion. An indicator in the front-panel display
confirms your choice and the frequency of
the currently tuned station is shown.

Tuning Stations

The TUNING buttons provide three different
tuning functions, depending on the mode of
operation.
In the normal FREQUENCY tuning
mode, press a TUNING button and release
to manually jump to the next station frequen-
cy, regardless of whether or not a station is
broadcasting on that frequency. For auto
frequency search tuning, press and hold
the TUNING button for approximately one
second. An AUTO indicator will appear in
the front-panel display and the tuner begins
scanning up or down through the frequencies
until the next available signal is detected.
If this is not the desired station, repeat the
automatic tuning procedure to find the next
station. Weak stations will be skipped dur-
ing auto tuning.
In the PRESET tuning mode, press a
TUNING button and release to jump to the
next memorized station preset.
