Selecting Inputs
Selecting Listening Input 7 B
To select any of eight source inputs for listen-
ing (and watching), press one of the INPUT
buttons on the front panel or the remote. On
the front panel the buttons are labeled PHO-
NO, CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2,
VIDEO 3, and VIDEO 4. On the remote, the
buttons are labeled PHO, CD, TUN, TP, V1,
V2, V3, and V4.
The front-panel display shows the name of
the current listening source selection. The la-
bels for VIDEO sources can be customized to
match your components.
NOTE: When the TUNER input button is
pressed, the frequency of the currently tuned
station is displayed. Pressing the button again
toggles the display to show the word TUNER
instead of the frequency display.
When the CD button on the remote is pushed, the
remote can control basic transport and numeric
input functions of Rotel CD players. When the
V4 button on the remote is pushed, the remote
can be used to control basic transport functions
of Rotel DVD players. Control functions for CD
and DVD players are only functional until a dif-
ferent 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 7r BR
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 recording ap-
pears 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 buttons
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 7r BRQ
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 sig-
nal selected for a zone appears at the audio
and video outputs for that zone.
Press the SEL button repeatedly until the de-
sired 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 in-
put selection for that zone. Alternatively, you
can press the CHARACTER +/– buttons on the
remote to step through all of the inputs. After
10 seconds with no selection, the INPUT but-
tons revert to normal operation, selecting a
source for listening.
NOTE: Pressing the ZONE button without first
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 er RS
You may wish to have the same input for listen-
ing, recording, and all of the remote zones. The
RX-1052 makes this configuration (called Party
Mode) easy by linking the inputs for recording
and remote zones to the input selected for listen-
ing. 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
one of the remote control Input buttons at
main room or press and hold the ZONE but-
ton 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 dis-
played as “SOURCE”, indicating that they
are linked to the input selected for listening.
While in PARTY mode, a “P” indicator ap-
pears 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.
