Buons and Switches on the Back
Master Power Switch
Looking at the rear of the RS250, the Master Power
Switch will be directly to the left of the AC Power Inlet
(Figure 10 on page 11). This switch will toggle power
to the RS250 ON (I) and OFF (O). With this switch in
the ON position, the RS250 can be put in Power Save
mode by pushing and holding the Front Right Knob for
2 seconds.
When the Master Power Switch is in the OFF position,
the RS250 will consume no power. Power Save/Standby
and the remote control will only function when the
Master Power Switch is in the ON position.
CEC Buon
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a feature of
HDMI that theoretically allows users to control multiple
connected devices through one remote control. This
can work ne in some cases when you want to turn on
the television and also power on other related devices,
but there may be times when you do not want this or
other connected events to happen. You can use the CEC
Button to enable or disable this HDMI feature. If you
have a control system for your devices, you will want
CEC disabled.
With CEC enabled, the RS250 can control a television’s
volume, mute and unmute as well as power functions
with compatible televisions. CEC will also ensure
correct decoding and lip syncing automatically.
To change the CEC support state, briey press the CEC
button to toggle, and note the status of the red LED
above the volume control. If the red LED is solid, then
CEC is active. If the red LED is blinking, then CEC is
inactive.
Note About Inial Network Connecon
When your RS250 connects to your network for the
rst time, it will automatically look for the latest
software update. If available, the RS250 will install
the newest version. When updating, the Red LED
below the Right Knob will blink twice, pause and
repeat.
You may adjust how future updates are handled. See
“UPDATE Menu” on page 14.
Roon
When connected to your network, the RS250 will
be available as a Zone for your Roon server. (If you
have a Roon server.) The RS250 can be connected
to your Wi-Fi using AirPlay (see “Wi-Fi connection
using an iOS Device” on page 5) Chromecast
or other methods noted on page 5. It can also be
directly connected with an ethernet cable.
Tidal Connect
To listen to music on TIDAL through the RS250,
using the Tidal app, select the content you want to
play and then select the connect icon on the
Now Playing page.
This will bring up a list of nearby devices to stream
through. Locate the RS250 and select to pair.
If you are unable to nd your device, make sure the
device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you
are streaming from.
Once paired you can use your TIDAL app as a
remote. TIDAL is compatible with select smart
assistants that enable voice controls. Depending on
your region, you may enable this feature by linking
your TIDAL account with your selected smart device.
This option can normally be found in the Settings
section of your respective Smart Devices app.

Use your phone, tablet or computer as a remote
control for Spotify. Go to spotify.com/connect to

Qualcomm® aptX™ Audio
aptX™ is a codec that can provide CD quality
music over Bluetooth connections. The RS250
will automatically utilize aptX when connected to
a source that supports aptX. Simply connect with
Bluetooth as described in “Quick Start (Bluetooth)”
on page 4.
The RS250 also supports the higher resolution aptX
HD (24-bit/48kHz). If your device utilizes aptX HD
then that resolution will be utilized automatically.
The RS250 also features aptX LL (Low Latency)
which automatically ensures Bluetooth can deliver
sound in sync with visual media. It reduces
delay and improves end-to-end speed of the
audio transmission, resulting in a high quality,
synchronized user experience with any transmitting
device that supports aptX LL.
