RR-952 IR Remote Control
The RR-952 infrared remote control serves a dual purpose. In ad-
dition to providing dedicated pushbuttons for the most needed
functions of both the RMZ-955 controller/amplifier and source
components, it also serves as a quick set-up tool during initial
configuration.
The RR-952 has a special high intensity IR transmitter. In con-
junction with the system’s sensitive receiver modules, this trans-
mitter assures reliable operation under a wide variety of
conditions.
RSM-901 Sensor/Display
The wall-mounted RSM-901 Sensor/Display receives commands
from the RR-952 hand held remote and, after processing to en-
sure maximum data integrity, sends these codes to the RMZ-955
controller/amplifier.
In addition, the RSM-901 provides continuous system status in-
formation (source, time, volume setting, etc.) at each remote lo-
cation with a dot matrix display. Also available is a
programmable alarm function.
You’ll find details of the display in the Set Up and Operation sec-
tions of this manual.
NOTE: An RSM-901 connected to the Zone A data input MUST be
used during initial set-up.
RKP-901 Keypad
The RKP-901 is a wall-mounted keypad for convenient remote
operation of the entire system. The keypad can be used as a
stand-alone control device, although it is most functional when
installed with the RSM-901 sensor-display. Its 12 key design is
the optimum balance between flexibility and simplicity, providing
single-key control of the system and source components (select-
ing and starting a CD player, for example). In addition, the
RKP-901 allows total system shut-down from a remote location. It
mounts conveniently in a standard single width wall box or in a
dual width box with a RSM-901 sensor/display. (see page 25)
RSM-901/RKP-901 Combination
Mounting both the sensor/display and keypad in one double-
width wall box carries several advantages. It simplifies the in-
stallation. It also focuses the user on one location in each zone,
i.e. walk to the keypad or aim the hand held remote control at the
same wall-plate.
