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 com-
ponent (independent from the source playing
in the main room), adjust the volume 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 re-
peater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which re-
lays infrared remote control commands 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 re-
mote 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 ac-
tivates or deactivates the RX-1052 in the main
room only and has no effect on the remote
zones. Conversely, activating or deactivating
a remote zone has no effect on the main lis-
tening 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.
NOTE: For proper power on and off opera-
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.
Controlling Remote Zones
from the Main Room
7wer BCQRS
You can control Zones 2 – 4 from the main room
using front panel or remote control buttons to
activate or deactivate a zone, change inputs,
and adjust the volume. Controlling a remote
zone from the main room is accomplished by
pressing the SEL button, putting the RX-1052
in multi zone control mode temporarily. Press
the button repeatedly until the desired zone
is shown in the front panel display, during
which time you can use the front panel VOL-
UME control, INPUT buttons, or +/– buttons
to change the zone settings.
To turn a zone on or off:
1. Press the front panel SEL button repeatedly
until the desired zone is shown in the dis-
play (Z2, Z3, Z4 or MAIN).
2. Within 10 seconds, press the ZONE but-
ton to toggle the remote zone on or off.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,
the RX-1052 reverts to normal opera-
tion.
When a remote zone is activated, the front
panel ZONE LED lights.
