Basic Operations
This section covers the basic operating con-
trols of the RSX-1057 and the remote.
Power and Standby On/Off
The rear panel POWER switch on the RSX-1057
is a master power switch. The button must
be in the ON position for the unit to oper-
ate. When it is in the OFF position, the unit
is fully off and cannot be activated from the
front panel or remote control.
In normal operation, the rear panel POWER
switch is always left in the ON position. The
RSX-1057 is activated and deactivated using
the front panel STANDBY button, the remote
control POWER button, or the remote ON/
OFF buttons. When activated, the RSX-1057
is fully functional and the front panel display
illuminated. When deactivated, the unit goes
into a standby mode, with minimal power ap-
plied to the microprocessor.
NOTE
: When the unit has AC power applied
and the rear panel POWER switch is on, the
front panel STANDBY LED lights, regardless
of whether the unit is in standby mode or
activated.
The front panel STANDBY button and the re-
mote control POWER button function as tog-
gle switches. Press either button to activate
the unit. Press either button again to put the
unit in standby mode.
The ON/OFF buttons on the remote serve
the same function, but provide discrete ON
(active) or OFF (standby) commands.
When using the Zone 2 capability of the
RSX-1057, the standby activation is com-
pletely independent for the main room and
Zone 2. ON/OFF commands sent from the
remote in the main room will not affect Zone
2. Pressing the ON/OFF buttons on a remote
located in Zone 2 will only affect that zone
and not the main room. When the unit is ac-
tivated in ZONE 2, the ZONE 2 LED on the
front panel is lit.
There are three available power mode op-
tions, which may be useful in configuring the
RSX-1057 for special system configurations.
See the Other Options menu in the Setup sec-
tion of this manual for additional details on
changing the default standby behavior.
