Setting Power Mode

The RX-1052 provides three optional power
on settings that may be useful in certain sys-
tem configurations where the unit is plugged
into a switched AC power outlet:
STANDBY: With the default STANDBY set-
ting, the unit powers up in standby mode when
AC is applied and the rear panel POWER
button is ON. The unit must be activated us-
ing the front panel STANDBY button or the
remote ON/OFF buttons.
DIRECT: With the DIRECT setting, the unit
is fully activated when AC power is applied
and the rear panel POWER button is ON;
however, it may be put in standby mode us-
ing the front panel STANDBY button or the
remote ON/OFF buttons.
ALWAYS-ON: In ALWAYS-ON mode, the unit
remains fully active whenever AC is present
and the rear panel POWER button is ON; the
front panel STANDBY button and the remote
ON/OFF buttons are disabled and the unit
cannot be put in standby mode.
To change the setting:
1. With the RX-1052 on, press the SPKR B,
TUNE/PRESET, and MONO buttons on
the front panel simultaneously.
2. Use the CD and VIDEO 3 buttons on the
front panel as up/down cursor keys to
scroll through the options until the front
panel display reads "PWR ALWAYON"
or "PWR DIRECT" or "PWR ST BY"

Multi Zone Operation

The RX-1052 provides multi-room capability,
allowing you to enjoy music and operate the
system in three remote zones (ZONES 2, 3,
and 4) in addition to the main room. From
the remote zones, you can select a source
component (independent from the source
playing in the main room), adjust the vol-
ume level in the remote zone, and operate
the source components.
To use the multi zone capability, you need addi-
tional components: a pair of speakers installed
in each remote zone, an amplifier to drive them,
an optional TV monitor for video signals, and
a third-party IR repeater system.
Remote zones can be controlled from the
main room using RX-1052's ZONE and SEL
buttons and the remote control +/– buttons.
Operation from the remote zone requires an
infrared repeater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.)
which relays infrared remote control com-
mands from remote to the ZONE 2–4 IR IN
connectors on the back of the RX-1052.
Several points about multi zone function:
• The remote control supplied with the
RX-1052 will operate the remote zones
if used with a repeater system from the
remote zone. It can also be programmed
to operate Rotel CD and DVD players via
the RX-1052's IR OUT jack.
• Any source component connected to the
RX-1052's inputs can be sent to the Zone
2 – 4 outputs. EACH ZONE operates in-
dependently. You can select a different
source or adjust the volume in one zone
without affecting the MAIN outputs or the
other zones in any way.
• Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RX-1052 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 RX-1052.

Remote Zone Power On/Off

Once master power is applied to the unit by
pressing the rear panel POWER switch, the
RX-1052 provides independent power on/off
operation for both zones. Pressing the remote
control ON/OFF buttons in the main room
activates or deactivates the RX-1052 in the
main room only and has no effect on the re-
mote zones. Conversely, activating or deac-
tivating a remote zone has no effect on the
main listening room or the other zones.
To turn off all zones, press and hold the OFF
button. 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 opera-
NOTE
tion with Zone 2, the RX-1052's power mode
should be set to the factory default STANDBY
setting or to the DIRECT setting using the Set-
ting Power Mode procedure.
