User manual ROTEL RMZ-950

[. . . ] Keep the ventilation inlets on the unit unobstructed. For example, do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation slots. If the RMZ-950 is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be sufficient clearance around the unit and ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. Keep the RMZ-950 away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance that produces heat. [. . . ] To enable the battery, place the jumper JP1 to link the two pins as shown in the illustration above. Master/Slave Master Slave Switch 6 OFF (default) ON Note: Clock and Alarm functions can only be set from a Master. Note: After initial installation, leave the RMZ-950 turned on continuously for a few days to ensure that the battery is charged. 16 INSTALLATION: ZONE CONTROL DEVICES System Reset After changing any of the above configurations, reset the RSM-901 by pressing the RESET switch (SW1). This is essential to allow the new setting to take effect. RECEIVE CD TUNER Source Component Set-up After installation, refer to System Set-up and Programming (page 21) for configuring the proper data codes for source component operation. Remember that an RSM-901 connected to the Zone A data cable terminal MUST be used for initial set-up, particularly in systems where non-Rotel source components are included. MODE PM HOUR ALARM MIN AUX VIDEO VOLUME * MUTE DISC OFF Note: After completing the installation and component set-up, power down the system, wait approximately 30 seconds, and then power it up again. Test all functions. RKP-901 Data Connections RKP-901s do not need to be set for particular zones or configured as Master/Slaves because they do not display zone or system status information. RKP-901 Keypad RKP-901 Mounting The RKP-901 keypad mounts in a wall box in the same manner as the RSM-901 sensor/display. There are no restrictions on where the RKP-901 can be located. Common sense and user convenience should be the determining factors. Alternatively, the RKP-901 can be mounted in a double-width wall box with an RSM-901 sensor/display. This is the most sensible arrangement from an installation viewpoint (fewer cable runs) but may not be practical in all rooms. Data cable terminations and connections are made the same way as previously detailed. As does the RSM-901, each RKP-901 has two data terminals ("In" and "Out") located at the bottom of its circuit board. Connect the "Out" terminal, either to the "In" terminal of an RSM-901 in the zone, or to the RMZ-950 controller if the zone does not have a RSM-901. TUNER CD AUX VIDEO VOLUME * MUTE DISC OFF IN OUT INPUT DATA CONNECTOR Connect from output of RKP-901 or subsequent RSM-901 in the zone. OUTPUT DATA CONNECTOR Connect to RSM-901 Input or to RMZ-950 if used without RSM-901 17 MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-950 Zone Connection Strategies Each zone will support up to three RSM-901s and three RKP-901s. All of the command devices for one zone should connect to each other in serial fashion using their appropriate circuit board-mounted "In" and "Out" terminals. Essentially, the work done installing a single RMZ-950 remains unchanged and additional zones are handled by "add-on" RMZ-950 controllers.

In other words, there must be a provision for zones connected to additional RMZ-950 controllers to control the system's switched AC outlets. A special feature of the RMZ-950, called "AC Link" simplifies the installation of multi-controller systems with a simple control line connection between units for AC control. AC Connections Plug all RMZ-950 controllers into unswitched AC outlets, providing a constant AC supply. Plug all source components into the switched outlets located on the rear panels of the RMZ-950 controllers. As in a single-controller system, the recommended approach is to use a Rotel RLC900 power conditioner/switcher in conjunction with the first RMZ-950's rear panel outlets. This allows the first RMZ-950 to handle all AC switching for the system. With the "AC Linking" feature, it is also possible to plug source components into any switched outlet on the rear panel of any RMZ-950. All of these outlets are controlled in unison. [. . . ] If the source is "engaged" or being shared with another zone, the first character will change to lower case. Exclusive use of source Source engaged in another zone 29 MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-950 Volume Level: When the Volume setting is changed in the Zone, the RSM-901 will momentarily display the new setting: a) Turning Alarm ON or OFF: Press the MIN button to activate the wake-up alarm. The ALARM LED reminds you that the alarm has been activated. When finished, press the MODE button to record your changes and advance to the next step. RECEIVE Minimum Volume Maximum Volume When a MUTE signal is sent, the volume display will ramp down to zero and show the message "MUTE". When the Zone is unmuted, the display will ramp up to its previous level. [. . . ]
