OPERATING
THE RSP-1069
Considering its large number of features, set-
tings, and options, the RSP-1069 is remark-
ably easy to operate. The key to operating
the RSP-1069 is its system of On-Screen Dis-
plays (OSD) which guide you through vari-
ous choices.
The RSP-1069 can be operated from the front
panel or the remote control. Front panel con-
trols are unusually simple to use, with just a
few knobs and buttons to guide you through
OSD menu options. The remote control pro-
vides more complete control options.
To guide you through the operation of the
RSP-1069, this section of the manual starts
with explaining the basic layout and func-
tion of the front panel and the remote con-
trol. Then, we explain the basic operations
such as turning the unit on and off, adjusting
volume, selecting a source for listening, etc.
Following that is a detailed explanation of
surround sound modes and how to configure
the RSP-1069 for various types of recordings.
Finally, there are instructions for additional
features and remote zone operations. All of
these are features that may be used in normal
use. The last section of the manual (Configu-
ration) details options that may be selected
during initial setup and configuration of the
unit, many of which will be set once and left
untouched.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes
refer to the RSP-1069 illustration at the front
of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-1060
remote illustration. When both appear, the
function is found on both the RSP-1069 and
the remote. When only one appears, that
function is found only on the RSP-1069 or
the remote.
Front Panel Overview
The following is a brief overview of the con-
trol and features on the front panel of the
RSP-1069. Details concerning the use of these
controls are provided in subsequent sections
of this manual describing various tasks.
Front-panel Display
The fluorescent (FL) display on the front panel
of the RSP-1069 provides information useful
for operating the unit. The main portion of
the display has two rows of alpha-numeric
text displays. The top line shows the current-
ly selected source input on the left and the
volume setting on the right. The second line
shows the current surround mode or other
settings as they are changed (record source
selection, Zone 2 source selection, dynamic
range settings, etc.)
Icons along the left side of the display show
the current surround mode. Icons along the
bottom left of the display show the current
digital input. Icons along the right bottom of
the display show individual surround chan-
nels when configuring the system.
The FL display can be turned off, if desired. See
the MENU button section for instructions.
Remote Sensor
This sensor receives IR signals from the remote
control. Do not block this sensor.
NOTE
: The remainder of the buttons and con-
trols on the front panel are described in the
Overview of Buttons and Controls section.
Remote Control Overview
The RSP-1069 includes a full-function learning
remote control that can operate the RSP-1069
plus nine other audio/video components.
A separate manual gives detailed instructions
on programming and using the RR-1060 to
replace all of the remote controls in your sys-
tem. The RR-1060 manual covers many extra
features (such as custom labeling of remote
buttons that appear in its LCD display). To
avoid duplication, we provide only basic in-
formation about using the RR-1060 to oper-
ate the RSP-1069 in this manual.
Many of the RR-1060 functions duplicate the
front panel controls. For that reason, we cover
the controls on the remote under appropriate
topics throughout this manual. Letters in gray
boxes next to the name of a function refers
to the labeled illustration of the remote at the
front of this manual.
Using the RR-1060
AUDIO Button
To operate the RSP-1069 with the remote,
make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by
pressing the AUD button on the remote be-
fore you start. If one of the other buttons (CD,
TAPE, etc.) is pressed, the remote will control
another component, not the RSP-1069. The
AUDIO mode will stay active until another
DEVICE/INPUT button is pressed.
Overview of Buttons and
Controls
This section provides a basic overview of the
buttons and controls on the front panel and
the remote control. Detailed instructions on
the use of these buttons are provided in the
more complete operating instructions in the
following sections. Buttons or controls identi-
fied with a number appear on the front panel.
Those identified with a letter appear on the
remote control. When both a number and a
letter appear, the control is duplicated on both
the front panel and the remote control.
STANDBY Button
POWER Button
The front panel STANDBY button and the re-
mote control POWER button activate or deac-
tivate the unit. The rear panel master POWER
switch must be in the ON position for the re-
mote standby function to operate.
ON/OFF Buttons
The power ON and OFF buttons on the remote
provide discrete ON and OFF commands to
activate the unit or put it in standby mode.
The rear panel master POWER switch must
be in the ON position for the remote standby
function to operate.
All OFF command: A long press of the
OFF button (more than 3 seconds) sets all
rooms to standby, from any room.
