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-

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 confi gure
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 (Confi gu-
ration) details options that may be selected
during initial setup and confi guration of the
unit, many of which will be set once and left
untouched.

the controls on the remote under appropriate
