Source connections
The RMZ-955 has four pair of RCA inputs for four source compo-
nents, as well as four pair of RCA “loop-through” outputs that
can send the source signals to other components.
Source inputs
Connect LINE LEVEL sources (CD player, tuner, etc.) to the
RMZ-955’s rear panel inputs as follows.
Using shielded RCA-RCA cables, connect the source’s output to
the corresponding source input on the RMZ-955. Connect analog
outputs from the source components as indicated to assure
clear operation with both the RR-952 hand held remote and the
RKP-901 keypad:
Tuner ➠ RMZ-955 Input 1
CD player
➠ RMZ-955 Input 2
Tape deck / DSS Satellite
➠ RMZ-955 Input 3
CD2 / VCR / DVD / LD
➠ RMZ-955 Input 4
Make sure to observe correct channel continuity from source to
RMZ-955. The RMZ-955’s RCA inputs are labelled for easy identi-
fication with Left Channel connections on the top row and Right
Channel connections on the bottom row.
Note 1: The RMZ-955 does not accept a phono cartridge’s output
directly. If required, use a separate phono preamp (such as
Rotel’s RQ-970BX) to boost phono signal to line level.
Note 2: Use only FIXED LEVEL source outputs to the RMZ-955.
Source outputs
Each source input on the RMZ-955 has a matching pair of “loop-
through” output RCA jacks. The primary use of these “loop-
through” outputs is to pass the signal from each source
component to additional RMZ-955 controllers in large multi-zone
systems (see page 15 for details on installing large systems).
In some cases, these “loop-through” outputs may alternatively
be used to “share” the source components with a separate
home theater or audio system. If the source is shared by another
system, connect each pair of RMZ-955 source outputs to the
appropriate inputs of the main system’s preamplifier as shown in
the hook-up illustration.
Note: The source sharing does not work with all combinations of
components. Specifically, home theater and audio systems with
micro-processor controlled source input switching may result in
problems such as interference or “mixing” between shared
sources.
