RX-1050 AM/FM Stereo Receiver

MONO Button

The MONO button changes the FM mode from

stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo

mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the sta-

tion is broadcasting a stereo signal and there

is sufficient signal strength. A stereo indica-

tor lights in the front panel display. In mono

mode, a mono signal will be heard even if

the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.

NOTE

: Switching to mono mode can be a use-

ful way to improve the reception of weak or

distant FM signals. Less signal strength is re-

quired for clean mono reception than for ste-

reo reception.

FL Display Control

Turning the FL Display On/Off

SELECT Button

To turn the FL Display on or off, press the SE-

LECT button on the remote control. When the

display is off, pressing any control button will

turn the display on for five seconds.

Custom Display Labels

MENU Button

SEARCH +/– Buttons

PLAY/SEL Button

You can program the RX-1050 to display custom

names (up to five characters long) for each

of the source inputs. For example, you could

relabel VIDEO 1 as “VCR” or VIDEO 2 as

“DVD”. To program custom labels:

• Select the source input you wish to rela-

bel so the current name appears in the

display.

• Press and hold the MENU button

the remote until the characters in the dis-

play change to blinking solid blocks.

• Use the SEARCH +/– buttons

on the

remote to scroll through the character set.

When the desired character displayed,

press the PLAY/SEL button

to confirm

it and proceed to the next character.

• Repeat the previous step to select the re-

maining characters. After the last charac-

ter is programmed and confirmed, the new

name is saved automatically.

Once a custom label is programmed, the new

name appears when that source is selected

for either listening or recording. When the

source is selected, the original label (VIDEO

1, VIDEO 2, etc.) appears, followed by the

custom label.

Restoring the FL Display Labels

To clear all custom labels and restore the original

defaults, turn the RX-1050 off. Then, press and

hold the SPEAKER B

, TUNE/PRESET ,

and MONO

buttons while pressing the

POWER button

to ON.

Rear Panel Connections

The RX-1050 provides rear panel connections

for four video sources, a CD, a tape deck, and

a phono input for use with a turntable. These

connections include standard RCA audio in-

puts and outputs plus composite video inputs

and outputs.

The RX-1050 includes two pairs of speaker

connections for the built-in power amplifier as

well as RCA preamp outputs for use with ex-

ternal amplifiers. In addition, a composite video

output connects the unit to your TV monitor.

NOTE

: DO NOT plug any system component

into an AC source until system hookup is com-

plete and you are confident that all compo-

nent-to-component connections have been

properly made.

All video cables should have a 75 ohm

impedance rating. Although conventional

audio interconnects will pass a video signal,

their construction and limited bandwidth im-

pose a performance penalty because, in part,

they do not adhere to the 75 ohm standard.

When making signal connections, make sure

that you always preserve proper channel con-

sistency, i.e. connect LEFT channels to LEFT

channel jacks and RIGHT channels to RIGHT

channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on

the RX-1050 follow these standard color codes:

Left audio: RCA jack with white inset

Right audio: RCA jack with red inset

Video: RCA jack with yellow inset

Connect your audio-only source components

to these RCA inputs and outputs:

Phono Inputs

Phono Ground

These inputs accept the signal from a standard

moving magnet phono cartridge. Connect the

left and right output cables of a turntable to

this pair of RCA inputs. Connect the ground

wire from your turntable to the phono ground

lug, labeled GND.

CD Inputs

Connect the left and right analog outputs from

a CD player to the RCA input jacks labeled

CD.

Tape Inputs and Outputs

The RX-1050 provides a set of audio tape

connections (labeled TAPE) with a pair of in-

puts and a pair of record outputs that provide

a signal for recording.

Connect the left and right analog outputs from

an audio tape deck to the TAPE IN input jacks.

Connect the TAPE OUT output jacks to the

INPUTS on the audio tape deck.

VIDEO 1 – 2

Inputs/Outputs

There are groups of connections for up to four

video source components. Each group includes

a pair of RCA analog audio inputs at the bottom

of the group and a composite video input at

the top. Two of these groups (VIDEO 1 and

VIDEO 2) also include a set of record outputs

for sending audio and video signals to a VCR.

Connect your VCR to the VIDEO 1 group of

inputs and outputs. This set of connections

allows recording.

Connect the analog audio outputs of the VCR

to the VIDEO 1 IN left and right RCA audio

jacks. Connect the VIDEO 1 OUT left and right

RCA audio output jacks to the audio inputs

on the VCR.

Connect the RCA composite video output of

the VCR to the RCA composite video input

labeled VIDEO 1 PLAY.

Hookup the VIDEO 1 REC video output to the

RCA composite video recording input on your

VCR.

Repeat for a second VCR video components,

using the connections for VIDEO 2.
