RX-1050 AM/FM Stereo Receiver

AC Power Connections

AC Input

Your RX-1050 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 labels will be

stored for up to one month if the RX-1050 is

disconnected from AC power.

Accessory Power Outlets

(North American version)

The RX-1050 has two switched outlets on the

back panel. Power is available from these

outlets when the RX-1050 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 RX-1050.

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 RX-1050 is

activated, a 12 volt DC signal appears at these

connectors and will turn on amplifiers. When

the RX-1050 is put in STANDBY mode, the

trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifi-

ers will turn off.

Miscellaneous Connections

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 Input

The RX-1050 can be operated with a personal

computer running audio system control soft-

ware from third-party developers. This control

is accomplished by sending operating codes

(normally sent by the RR-939B remote control)

from the computer via a hard-wired network

connection.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec-

essary network connections on the back panel.

It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs,

such as those commonly used in 10-BaseT UTP

Ethernet cabling.

For additional information on the connections,

software, and operating codes for computer

control of the RX-1050, contact your autho-

rized Rotel dealer.

Zone 2 Connection and

Operation

The RX-1050 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 system.

Zone 2 can be controlled from the main room

using RX-1050’s front-panel ZONE button. Op-

eration from the remote zone requires the in-

stallation of 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

RX-1050.

Several points to keep in mind about the Zone

2 function:

• An infrared repeater system (Xantech, Niles,

et al) is required for operation from the

remote zone.

• The RR-939B remote control supplied with

the RX-1050 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

RX-1050's IR OUT jack.

• Any source component connected to the

RX-1050's inputs can be sent to the Zone

2 outputs. ZONE 2 operates independently

of the main room. You can select a differ-

ent source or adjust Zone 2 volume with-

out affecting the MAIN outputs in any way.

• Avoid sending the same infrared command

to the RX-1050 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 RX-1050.
