SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER RSX-965

Rear Panel AC Power Connections
AC Input
35
Your RSX-965 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line
voltage in the country where you purchased it: 115 volts/60Hz
(USA version) or 230 volts/50Hz (European version). The AC line
configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back
of the unit.
AC Convenience Outlets
36
Two outlets let you plug AC cords from source components or
other accessories into the back of the RSX-965 so that they will be
turned on and off automatically. The outlets are powered when-
ever the RSX-965 is fully active. They are off when the RSX-965 is
in STANDBY mode.
Note: The rear panel AC outlets are only available on 115 Volt ver-
sions of the RSX-965 and not available on 230 Volt models.
Remote External Sensor Jack
37
This 3.5 mm mini-jack receives command codes from industry-
standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.) via hard-wired con-
nections. This feature could prove useful when the unit is installed
in a cabinet and the front-panel sensor is blocked. Consult your
authorized Rotel dealer for information on these external repeat-
ers and the proper wiring of a jack to fit the mini-jack receptacle.

On-Screen Display / Configuration
The RSX-965 features two on-screen systems to help operate the
system. The first consists of simple status displays that appear on
the TV screen whenever primary settings (Volume, Input, etc.) are
changed. These status displays are self-explanatory.
A more comprehensive ON-SCREEN MENU system is available at
any time by pressing the MENU button on the front panel or the
remote control. This system includes intuitive menus that guide
you through the setup and operation of virtually every function
and setting of your RSX-965.

which buttons to press. All screens disappear automatically fol-
lowing 20 seconds of inactivity.
Figure 8 at the front of this manual shows the menus that consti-
tute the ON-SCREEN MENU system and how to reach them. Most
of the menus are used to configure the system and will not typi-
cally be used during normal operation. Details of each menu fol-
