tem. Icons across the bottom of the display
show the current surround mode and other
special features. Icons at the top of display
assist in tuning radio stations and operation

Remote Sensor
This sensor receives IR signals from the remote
control. Do not block this sensor.
NOTE: The remainder of the buttons and con-
trols on the front panel are described in the
Overview of Buttons and Controls section.
Remote Control Overview
The RSX-03 includes a full-function learning
remote control that can operate the RSX-03
plus eight other audio/video components.
A separate manual gives detailed instructions
on programming and using the RR-1060 to
replace all of the remote controls in your sys
-
tem. The RR-1060 manual covers many extra
features (such as custom labeling of remote
buttons that appear in its LCD display). To
avoid duplication, we provide only basic
information about using the RR-1060 to op
-
erate the RSX-03 in this manual.
Many of the RR-1060 functions duplicate
the front panel controls. For that reason, we
cover the controls on the remote under appro
-
priate topics throughout this manual. Letters
in gray boxes next to the name of a function
refers to the labeled illustration of the remote
at the front of this manual.
Using the RR-1060
AUDIO Button
To operate the RSX-03 with the remote, make
sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press
-
ing the AUD button on the remote before you
start. If one of the other buttons (CD, TAPE,
etc.) is pressed, the remote will control another
component, not the RSX-03. The AUDIO mode
will stay active until another DEVICE/INPUT
button is pressed.
