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 hardwired connections from the IR OUT

jacks. See the ZONE 2 section of this manual

for additional information.

Computer I/O

The RSP-976 can be operated from a personal

computer running audio system control soft-

ware from third-party developers. This control

is accomplished by sending the operating codes

normally sent by the RR-969 remote control

over a hard-wired network connection from

the computer.

The COMPUTER I/O input provides the nec-

essary connection on the back panel. It ac-

cepts 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 RSP-976, contact your authorized

Rotel dealer.

Zone 2 Connection and

Operation

The RSP-976 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 RSP-976’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

RSP-976. Using external IR emitters or hard-

wired IR connections, you can also operate

source components by remote control from

Zone 2.

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.

• There are two options for the Zone 2 out-

put level, selectable from the ON-SCREEN

DISPLAY menu system. VARIABLE output

gives you full adjustment of the volume level,

remembering last previous setting when-

ever Zone 2 is activated. 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

autoformer-type volume controls.

• The RR-969 remote control supplied with

the RSP-976 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

RSP-976's IR OUT jack.

• Any source component connected to the

RSP-976's analog inputs (except the 5.1

CH input) can be sent to the Zone 2 out-

puts. ZONE 2 operates independently of

the main room. You can select a different

source or adjust Zone 2 volume without

affecting the MAIN outputs in any way.

• Avoid sending the same infrared command

to the RSP-976 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 RSP-976.

Zone 2 Power On/Off

Operation

The RSP-976 provides totally independent

power on/off operation for both zones. Press-

ing the STANDBY button on the front panel

or from the remote in the main room activates

or deactivates the RSP-976 in the main room

only and has no effect on Zone 2. Conversely,

activating or deactivating Zone 2 has no ef-

fect on the main listening room.

NOTE

: For proper power on and off opera-

tion with Zone 2, the RSP-976’s power mode

should be set to the factory default DIRECT

setting or to the STANDBY setting using the

OTHER OPTIONS menu from the ON-

SCREEN DISPLAY.

Controlling Zone 2

from the Main Room

ZONE Button

When the RSP-976 is powered on in the main

room, you can control Zone 2 from the front

panel of the RSP-976 – activate or deactivate

Zone 2, change input sources, and adjust the

volume. Controlling Zone 2 from the front panel

is accomplished by pressing the ZONE but-

ton, which temporarily puts the RSP-976 in Zone

2 control mode.

NOTE

: Zone 2 cannot be controlled from the

remote in the main room.

To turn Zone 2 on or off:

1. Press the front panel ZONE button. The

status of Zone 2 appears in the display. If

Zone 2 is in standby, “ZONE OFF” ap-

pears. If Zone 2 is active, “ZONE xxxxx”

showing the current input source appears.

2. If Zone 2 is ON, pressing the ZONE but-

ton a second time within 10 seconds turns

it OFF. If Zone 2 is OFF, the second press

of the ZONE button turns it ON with the

last used input source and volume setting.

3. Following 10 seconds with no commands,

the RSP-976 reverts to normal operation.
