Zone 2 Operation
The RSX-1057 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 (independent from the
source playing in the main 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,
an optional TV monitor for video signals, and
a third-party IR repeater system.

Zone 2 can be controlled from the main room
using RSX-1057’s front panel or remote con-
trol ZONE button. Operation from the remote
zone requires the installation of an infrared
repeater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which
relays infrared remote control commands
from Zone 2 to the ZONE REM IN connec-
tor on the back of the RSX-1057.

Several points to keep in mind about the
Zone 2 function:
Zone 2 function:
• There are two options for the Zone 2 output
level, selectable from the OSD configura-
tion menu. VARIABLE output provides full
adjustment of the volume level. 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 volume controls.

• The RR-1060 remote control supplied with
the RSX-1057 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-1057’s IR OUT jack.

• Any source component connected to the
RSX-1057’s analog inputs can be sent to
the Zone 2 outputs. ZONE 2 operates in-
dependently of the main room. You can
select a different source or adjust Zone 2
volume without affecting the MAIN out-
puts in any way.

• Avoid sending the same infrared command
to the RSX-1057 front panel sensor and a
Zone 2 repeater at the same time. This
means that Zone 2 must be in a differ-
ent room from the RSX-1057.

Zone 2 Power On/Off
Once master power is applied to the unit by
pressing the rear panel POWER switch button,
the RSX-1057 provides independent power
on/off operation for both zones. Pressing the
remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main
room activates or deactivates the RSX-1057
in the main room only and has no effect on
Zone 2. Conversely, activating or deactivat-
ing Zone 2 has no effect on the main listening
room. However, placing the rear panel master
POWER switch in the OFF position completely
shuts off the unit, for both zones.

NOTE
: For proper power on and off operation
with Zone 2, the RSX-1057’s power mode
should be set to the factory default STAND-
BY setting or to the DIRECT setting using the
Other Options menu described in the Setup
section of this manual.

Controlling Zone 2
from the Main Room
You can control Zone 2 from the main room
using front panel or remote control buttons to
activate or deactivate Zone 2, change input
sources, and adjust the volume. Controlling
Zone 2 from the main room is accomplished
by pressing the ZONE button on the front
panel or remote, putting the RSX-1057 in
Zone 2 control mode temporarily. When the
Zone 2 status is displayed, the OSD and/or
front panel displays show the current source
selection and volume in Zone 2 for ten sec-
onds, during which time you can use the front
panel VOLUME control and INPUT buttons
to change the ZONE 2 settings.

Controlling Zone 2 from the
Remote Location
With a properly configured IR repeater sys-
tem, you have full control of Zone 2 using an
RR-1060 remote from the Zone 2 location. You
can select and operate a source, adjust the
volume, and turn Zone 2 on or off. Whatever
commands you send from the RR-1060 will
change Zone 2 and only Zone 2, just as if you
were controlling a totally independent audio
system in that room. These changes will have
no effect on the main listening room.
