SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR RSP-985

•

All source components connected to the RSP-985's analog audio

inputs (except the TAPE MONITOR and 5.1 CHANNEL input) are

available at the line level output for Zone 2. The ZONE 2 outputs

are independent of the main outputs. You can select a different

source or adjust Zone 2 volume without effecting the MAIN out-

puts in any way.

•

Avoid sending the same infrared command to the RSP-985 front

panel sensor and the Zone 2 repeater at the same time. This

means that Zone 2 must be in a different room from the RSP-985.

Zone 2 Power On/Off Operation

With the factory default settings, the RSP-985 provides totally in-

dependent power on/power off operation for both zones. Pressing

the STANDBY button on the front panel or from the remote in the

main room activates or deactivates the RSP-985 in the main room

only and has no effect on Zone 2. Conversely, using the remote

control from Zone 2 activates or deactivates Zone 2 only and has

no effect on the main listening room. In other words, Zone 2 can

be turned on without turning on the main room and vice versa.

Each room can only be turned on or off from that room.

Note: In this default mode, you cannot deactivate the entire sys-

tem from the front panel of the RSP-985. To turn off ZONE 2, you

would have to go to ZONE 2 and use the remote control STANDBY

button to deactivate ZONE 2 from that location. You can change

this default operation by selecting the AUTO-MUTE NO selection

at the SYSTEM SETUP MENU. When AUTO MUTE is disabled, the

entire system (both zones) is activated or deactivated when the

front panel STANDBY button is pressed. See the section on the

SYSTEM SETUP MENU for details of changing this setting, either

on a permanent basis or as a temporary measure to allow you to

deactivate ZONE 2 from the front panel.

Zone 2 Audio Outputs

[See Figure 6]

These variable line-level RCA-type audio outputs send the Zone 2

audio signal to a stereo power amplifier driving a pair of speakers

in the remote zone.

Although you have the option of using an integrated amplifier or a

receiver to power the remote speakers, we strongly suggest using

a fixed-gain power amplifier. This simplifies system installation

and operation. Your authorized Rotel dealer may make another

recommendation based on specific system requirements.

If you are configuring your system for Zone 2 operation, connect

the left and right Zone 2 outputs on the RSP-985 to the left and

right channels of the amplifier powering the remote speakers, us-

ing conventional RCA audio cables.

Remote External Sensor/Repeater Jacks

[See Figure 6]

These 3.5 mm mini-jacks allow your RSP-985 to send/receive com-

mand codes from industry-standard infrared transmitters and re-

ceivers via hard-wired connections. They are used in configuring

your RSP-985 with the proper IR connections for Zone 2 operation.

These 3.5 mm mini-jack connections provide easy incorporation of

third party infrared transmitters and repeaters (Xantech, etc.) for

total control of custom installed and multi-zone systems.

The REMOTE EXTENSION IN jack accepts signals from infrared

repeaters located in a remote area of your home. This receptacle

is required for connecting a remote sensor/transmitter to enable

operation of the RSP-985’s ZONE 2 functions.

The REMOTE EXTENSION OUT jack sends signals from the RE-

MOTE EXTENSION IN jack to a remote infrared repeater or to

Rotel CD players, cassette decks, or tuners with a compatible rear

panel remote connector.

The EXTERNAL IN JACK located above these two jacks is for use

with an external IR sensor duplicating the front panel IR sensor

and should not be used for ZONE 2 IR connections.

Note: ZONE 2 and its IR repeater should be in a different area from

the main room. The RSP-985 should not be within range of Zone

2’s remote control to prevent IR commands intended to control

Zone 2 from inadvertently controlling the main room operations.

On-Screen Display and System

Configuration

The RSP-985 features two on-screen systems to help operate the

system. The first is a simple ONE-LINE DISPLAY that appears at

the bottom of the TV screen whenever primary settings (Volume,

Input, etc.) are changed. ONE-LINE DISPLAY can be turned off

during the configuration of the system if you prefer.

A more comprehensive ON-SCREEN MENU system is available at

any time by pressing the ON-SCREEN button on the remote con-

trol. This system includes intuitive menus that guide you through

the setup and operation of virtually every function and setting of

your RSP-985 using the buttons on the remote control.
