Power and Miscellaneous
Connections
AC Input
Your RSX-1065 is configured at the factory for
the proper AC line voltage in the country where
you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC
or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back
of your unit.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT
receptacle on the back of the unit.
See the POWER SWITCH heading in the BASIC
CONTROLS section of this manual for infor-
mation about turning the unit on and off.
NOTE
:
Memorized settings and video labels
will be stored for up to one month if the
RSX-1065 is disconnected from AC power.
Accessory Power Outlets
(North American version)
The RSX-1065 has two switched outlets on the
back panel. Power is available from these
outlets when the RSX-1065 is turned on. These
outlets can provide up to a total of 200 watts.
They are appropriate for supplying power to
signal sources, such as CD players, tuners, or
tape decks. They should not be used for power
amplifiers. Connecting components that will
draw more than 200 watts to these outputs
could damage the RSX-1065.
12V TRIGGER Connections
Several Rotel amplifiers offer the option of
turning them on and off using a 12 volt trig-
ger signal. These two connections provide this
12 volt trigger signal. When the RSX-1065 is
activated, a 12 volt DC signal appears at these
connectors and will turn on amplifiers. When
the RSX-1065 is put in STANDBY mode, the
trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifi-
ers will turn off.
EXTERNAL REM IN
This 3.5 mm mini-jack (labeled EXT REM IN)
receives command codes from an industry-stan-
dard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) located
in the main listening room. This feature is useful
when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the
front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your au-
thorized Rotel dealer for information on ex-
ternal receivers and the proper wiring of a jack
to fit the mini-jack receptacle.
NOTE
:
The IR signals from the EXTERNAL RE-
MOTE IN jack (as well as those from the
ZONE REMOTE IN jack) can be relayed to
source components using external IR emitters
or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT
jacks. See the ZONE 2 section of this manual
for additional information.
Computer I/O
Keypad
The RSX-1065 can be operated with a per-
sonal computer running audio system control
software from third-party developers or with
a dedicated A/V control keypad from Rotel.
This control is accomplished by sending op-
erating codes (normally sent by the RR-969
remote control) from the computer or keypad
via a hard-wired network connection.
The COMPUTER I/O and KEYPAD inputs pro-
vides the necessary network connections on
the back panel. They accept standard RJ-45
8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly
used in 10-BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.
The COMPUTER I/O connector should be used
when controlling the RSX-1065 for the main
listening room. The KEYPAD connector should
be used to connect a keypad for controlling
the operations in ZONE 2. When using a
KEYPAD in ZONE 2, the function is identical
to that of an infrared repeater system connected
to the ZONE REMOTE IN jack. See the fol-
lowing section for detailed information.
For additional information on the connections,
software, and operating codes for computer
or keypad control of the RSX-1065, contact
your authorized Rotel dealer.
Zone 2 Connection and
Operation
The RSX-1065 provides Zone 2 multi-room
capability, allowing you to enjoy music and
operate the system from a second room. From
the remote location, you can select a source
component (even if different from the source
playing in the main listening room), adjust the
volume level in the remote zone, and oper-
ate the source components.
To use the Zone 2 capability, you need addi-
tional components: a pair of speakers installed
in the remote zone, an amplifier to drive them,
and a third-party IR repeater or keypad sys-
tem.
Zone 2 can be controlled from the main room
using RSX-1065’s front-panel ZONE button.
Operation from the remote zone requires the
installation of remote keypad compatible with
the back panel RJ-45 8-pin modular KEYPAD
connector or an infrared repeater system
(Xantech, Niles, etc.) which relays infrared
remote control commands from Zone 2 to the
ZONE REMOTE IN input on the back of the
RSX-1065.
Several points to keep in mind about the Zone
2 function:
• An infrared repeater system (Xantech, Niles,
et al) or remote keypad is required for op-
eration from the remote zone.
• There are two options for the Zone 2 out-
put level, selectable from the ON-SCREEN
DISPLAY menu system. VARIABLE output
gives you full adjustment of the volume level,
remembering last previous setting when-
ever Zone 2 is activated. FIXED output
disables the Zone 2 volume control with
the output permanently set to a specified
level. This might be useful for sending a
line level signal to a preamp or integrated
amp with its own volume control or to a
distribution amplifier with multiple
autoformer-type volume controls.
• The RR-969 remote control supplied with
the RSX-1065 will operate Zone 2 if used
with a repeater system from the remote
zone. It can also be programmed to op-
erate Rotel source components via the
RSX-1065's IR OUT jack.
• Any source component connected to the
RSX-1065's analog inputs (except the MULTI
input) can be sent to the Zone 2 outputs.
ZONE 2 operates independently of the
main room. You can select a different source
or adjust Zone 2 volume without affecting
the MAIN outputs in any way.
• Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RSX-1065 front-panel sensor and a
Zone 2 repeater at the
same
time. This
means that Zone 2
must
be in a different
room from the RSX-1065.
