All of us at Rotel, thank you for buying this product and hope it will bring you many hours of enjoyment.
Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the Rotel RX-1052
AM/FM Stereo Receiver. The RX-1052 is three products in one:
• Full-featured audio/video control center for analog audio and video source components
• A high-quality AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets, direct access tuning, and auto-tuning.
• A high power 2-channel amplifier.
Key Features
• Rotel’s Balanced Design Concept combines advanced circuit board layout, comprehensive parts evaluation, and extensive listening tests for superior sound and long term reliability.
• Independent selection of source inputs for listening and recording.
• Audio and video outputs for three remote zones with independent input selection and volume adjustments for multi-zone custom installations. IR-repeater capability for operation from the remote zone.
• Customizable labels for source inputs.
• A and B speaker outputs.
• Headphone output.
• Composite video inputs for four video sources plus composite video outputs for television monitors in the main room and three remote zones.
• Wireless remote control to operate the
RX-1052 plus Rotel CD and DVD players.
• RS-232 port for computer controlled operation.
• Upgradable microprocessor software to accommodate future upgrades.
Unpacking
Remove the unit carefully from its packing.
Look for the remote control and other accessories. Save the packing and box as it will protect the RX-1052 if you move or need to return it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the RX-1052 on a solid, dry, level surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, high humidity, or strong vibrations.
The RX-1052 can generate considerable heat during normal operation. Do not block its ventilation openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) of unobstructed
open space around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure there is adequate ventilation.
Make sure the RX-1052 is close to the other components in your audio/video system and, if possible, place it on its own shelf. This will make initial cable routing, hookup, and any subsequent system changes easier. It also minimizes potential interference or heat buildup from other components.
Make sure there is enough room behind the
RX-1052 for easy hookup. Remember, you are connecting many other components to this unit and you’ll probably need more space than you think.
Don’t stack other objects (components or other items) on top of the RX-1052. Don’t let water fall into the RX-1052 as this could damage delicate circuitry.
We suggest you look over the RX-1052’s front and rear panels before you start connecting other components. The explanations in this manual will help you get familiar with the unit’s connections, features, and controls.
Most functions are duplicated on the front-panel and on the remote. A few are found only on one or the other. Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes refer to the RX-1052 illustration at the front of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-AT95 remote illustration. When both appear, the function is found on both the RX-1052 and the remote. When only one appears, that function is found only on the
RX-1052 or the remote.
13 English
CONNECTIONS
Connecting the RX-1052 to your system is straightforward. Just take your time and check each connection before proceeding to the next.
The RX-1052 includes two pairs of speaker connections to the built-in stereo power amplifier, so that you can drive “A” speakers or
“B” speakers. In addition, a composite video output connects the unit to your TV monitor for the display of video sources.
Each of the source components (VCR, TV settop box, tape recorder, CD player) in the system is connected to the RX-1052 inputs with a pair of standard RCA cables for analog audio. A composite video input is provided for four of the source components.
In addition to the connections for the main system, there are analog audio outputs plus a composite video output for three additional zones. This allows the use of the RX-1052 to distribute audio and video signals to remote locations throughout the house.
The supplied AM and FM antennae are connected to the antenna inputs.
Finally, the AC power cord is plugged into the back panel of the RX-1052 and then into an AC wall outlet.
There are many ways to configure and hookup an audio/video system. It is not possible to cover every configuration in this manual; therefore, we describe the typical connections that will work well in a majority of situations.
NOTE
: Do not plug any system component into an AC source until all connections have been properly made.
Cable selection
Use standard audio cables with RCA connectors for all analog audio connections. Use the following color code:
Left channel audio: white
Right channel audio: red
For composite video signals, use a single
75 ohm video cable with an RCA connector at each end. Use the following standard color code:
Composite video: yellow
NOTE
: Do not use standard audio cables in place of 75 ohm video cables. Audio cables will usually pass the signal, but will degrade the quality.
When making signal connections, follow the color codes carefully at both ends of each cable.
Rear Panel
This section provides a short overview of the connections on the rear panel of the RX-1052.
Detailed instructions for hooking up each type of component are provided in the following section.
Phono Inputs
Phono Ground
These inputs accept left/right analog audio signals from a standard moving magnet phono cartridge and a ground connection for the turntable.
CD Inputs
These inputs accept left and right analog signals from a CD player.
Tape Inputs and Outputs
The RX-1052 provides a set of audio tape connections (labeled TAPE) with a pair of inputs and a pair of record outputs that provide a signal for recording.
VIDEO 1 – 2
Inputs/Outputs
There are two sets of connections for video source components. Each group includes a pair of RCA analog audio inputs and outputs at the bottom and an RCA composite video input and output at the top. The outputs send audio and video signals for recording to a VCR.
NOTE
: These video source input/outputs may also be used for an audio-only source. Simply omit the video connections.
VIDEO 3 – 4 Inputs
These two audio/video inputs allow connection of additional video components such as a play-only VCR, DVD player, LaserDisc player, or DSS satellite receiver. There are no outputs for sending a record out signal to these components. These video source inputs may also be used for an audio-only source. Simply omit the video connection.
NOTE
: When using a Rotel DVD player, connect it to the VIDEO 4 inputs. This allows using the supplied remote to operate the basic transport functions of the Rotel DVD player.
TV Monitor Output
The video output of the RX-1052 sends the video signal to your TV monitor. Connect the
TV MONITOR output to an RCA composite video input on your television monitor. Whatever input source is selected on the RX-1052 will appear on screen.
Speaker Outputs
The RX-1052 has a built-in stereo amplifier to power left and right speakers. There are two pairs of connections on the back panel which allow you to connect two pairs of speakers (A and B) and select them with frontpanel buttons.
NOTE
: The combined speaker impedance must be a minimum of 4 ohms. If you are driving just one pair of speakers (A or B connections), use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you are driving two pairs of speakers (A and B) simultaneously, use speakers rated at 8 ohms or higher.
Zone 2–4 Outputs
Three sets of output connections distribute stereo audio and composite signals to three remote zones. Each zone has left and right pre-amp level audio outputs plus a composite video output for connection of a TV monitor.
AM Antenna
The RX-1052 includes a loop antenna to receive AM radio signals. The twin wires from this loop antenna are connected to the AM
LOOP connectors.
FM Antenna
The RX-1052 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor FM antenna. Connect the attached coax
F-type plug to the FM antenna connector on the RX-1052.
RX-1052 AM/FM Stereo Receiver 14
AC Input
Your RX-1052 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60Hz
AC or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). 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.
NOTE
: Memorized settings and labels are preserved indefinitely, even if the RX-1052 is disconnected from AC power.
Master Power Switch
The large rocker switch on the rear panel is a master power switch. When it is in the OFF position, power to the unit is completely off.
When it is in the ON position, the front panel
STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF buttons can be used to activate the unit or put it into standby mode.
NOTE
: After all connections are completed, the rear panel master power switch should be put in the ON position and usually left in that position.
12V TRIGGER Connections
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using a 12 volt trigger signal sent to them. These four connections provide this 12 volt trigger signal from the
RX-1052. When the RX-1052 is activated, a 12 volt DC signal is sent to the amplifiers to turn them on. When the RX-1052 is put in
STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted and the amplifiers turn off.
To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RX-1052’s 12V TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a cable with mono 3.5 mm miniplugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal appears at the “tip” connector.
There are four 12V TRIG OUT connectors on the back panel of the RX-1052, one for ZONE
2, one for ZONE 3, one for ZONE 4, and one labeled ALL. The outputs for ZONES 2, 3, and
4 send a trigger signal ONLY when the corresponding zone is activated by the RX-1052.
The output labeled ALL sends a trigger signal whenever the RX-1052 is activated for any zone, including the main listening room.
IR IN Jacks

ZONE 3, ZONE 4, and EXT IN) receive command codes from an industry-standard infrared receivers (Xantech, etc.).
EXT IN: The EXT IN jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the front panel
IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked or when IR signals need to be relayed to other components.
ZONE 2 – 4: The ZONE 2 – 4 jacks are used with IR repeater systems to receive signals from IR control systems in remote zones and control the RX-1052 only for the corresponding zone. For example, remote control signals sent to the ZONE 2 input control only the ZONE 2 features of the RX-1052. Signals received at any of these inputs and can be relayed to other components.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on infrared repeater systems and the proper wiring of a 3.5 mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN jacks.
NOTE
: The IR signals from the IR IN jacks can be relayed to source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional information.
IR OUT Jacks
The IR OUT 1 & 2 jacks send IR signals received at the IR IN jacks to an infrared blaster or emitter placed in front of a source component’s IR sensor. In addition, the IR OUT jacks can be hard-wired to Rotel CD players, DVD players, or tuners with a compatible connector.
These outputs are used to allow IR signals from Zone 2–4 to be sent to the source components, or to pass along IR signals from an
IR repeater in the main room when the sensors on the source components are blocked by installation in a cabinet.
See your authorized Rotel dealer for information on IR emitters and repeater systems.
Computer I/O
The RX-1052 can be operated from a computer with audio system control software from third-party developers. This control is accomplished by sending operating codes from the computer via a hard-wired RS-232 serial connection. In addition, the RX-1052 can be updated using special software from Rotel.
The COMPUTER I/O input provides the necessary network connections on the rear panel. It accepts standard RJ-45 8-pin modular plugs, such as those commonly used in 10-
BaseT UTP Ethernet cabling.
For additional information on the connections, cabling, software, and operating codes for computer control or updating of the RX-1052, contact your authorized Rotel dealer or Rotel
Tech Support.

Speakers
See Figure 4
There are two sets of binding post connections (one pair for SPEAKERS A and one for SPEAKERS B) which accept bare wire, spade lugs, or banana plug connectors (in some markets).
NOTE
: The combined speaker impedance must be a minimum of 4 ohms. If you are driving just one pair of speakers (A or B connections), use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you are driving two pairs of speakers (A and B) simultaneously, use speakers rated at 8 ohms or higher.
Each pair of connectors is color-coded for polarity: red for positive and black for negative. Speakers and speaker wire are also marked for polarity. For proper performance, you must maintain this polarity at all speaker connections. Always connect the positive terminal of each speaker to the corresponding red speaker terminal on the RX-1052 and the negative speaker terminal to the corresponding black connector on the RX-1052.
Route the wires from the RX-1052 to the speakers. Leave enough slack so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker connectors. If you are using banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then plug them into the binding posts. The collars of the binding posts should be screwed in all the way
(clockwise). If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors and strip back the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands.
Unscrew the binding post collars. Place the connector lug or the twisted bare wire through the hole in the binding post shaft. Turn the collars clockwise to clamp the connector lug or wire firmly in place.
NOTE
: Be sure that no loose wire strands can touch adjacent wires or connectors.
Connecting one pair of speakers:
1. Connect the right speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS A RIGHT.
2. Connect the left speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS A LEFT.
Connecting a 2nd pair of speakers:
1. Connect the right speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS B RIGHT.
2. Connect the left speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS B LEFT.
AM Antenna
See Figure 3
The RX-1052 includes a plastic loop antenna to receive AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from the box and locate it near the

Setting Power Mode
The RX-1052 provides three optional power on settings that may be useful in certain system configurations where the unit is plugged into a switched AC power outlet:
STANDBY: With the default STANDBY setting, the unit powers up in standby mode when
AC is applied and the rear panel POWER button is ON. The unit must be activated using the front panel STANDBY button or the remote ON/OFF buttons.
DIRECT: With the DIRECT setting, the unit is fully activated when AC power is applied and the rear panel POWER button is ON; however, it may be put in standby mode using the front panel STANDBY button or the remote ON/OFF buttons.
ALWAYS-ON: In ALWAYS-ON mode, the unit remains fully active whenever AC is present and the rear panel POWER button is ON; the front panel STANDBY button and the remote
ON/OFF buttons are disabled and the unit cannot be put in standby mode.
To change the setting:
1. With the RX-1052 on, press the SPKR B,
TUNE/PRESET, and MONO buttons on the front panel simultaneously.
2. Use the CD and VIDEO 3 buttons on the front panel as up/down cursor keys to scroll through the options until the front panel display reads “PWR ALWAYON” or “PWR DIRECT” or “PWR ST BY”
3. Use the VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 4 buttons on the front panel as left and right cursor keys to change the setting in the display to the desired choice.
4. After making the selection, Use the CD and VIDEO 3 buttons on the front panel as up/down cursor keys to scroll through the options until the word SAVE is displayed.
5. Use the VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 4 buttons on the front panel as left and right cursor keys to select SAVE YES to store the new settings and exit.
If you do not wish to save the new setting, repeat step 5, but select SAVE NO to leave the setup menus without making changes.
Restoring the Original Labels and Default Settings
To clear all custom labels and restore the original defaults:
1. With the RX-1052 on, press the SPKR B,
TUNE/PRESET, and MONO buttons on the front panel simultaneously.
2. Use the CD and VIDEO 3 buttons on the front panel as up/down cursor keys to scroll through the options until the word
SAVE is displayed.
3. Use the VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 4 buttons on the front panel as left/right cursor keys to change from SAVE NO to SAVE YES to restore all default settings and labels.
Multi Zone Operation
The RX-1052 provides multi-room capability, allowing you to enjoy music and operate the system in three remote zones (ZONES 2, 3, and 4) in addition to the main room. From the remote zones, you can select a source component (independent from the source playing in the main room), adjust the volume level in the remote zone, and operate the source components.
To use the multi zone capability, you need additional components: a pair of speakers installed in each remote zone, an amplifier to drive them, an optional TV monitor for video signals, and a third-party IR repeater system.
Remote zones can be controlled from the main room using RX-1052’s ZONE and SEL buttons and the remote control +/– buttons.
Operation from the remote zone requires an infrared repeater system (Xantech, Niles, etc.) which relays infrared remote control commands from remote to the ZONE 2–4 IR IN connectors on the back of the RX-1052.
Several points about multi zone function:
• The remote control supplied with the
RX-1052 will operate the remote zones if used with a repeater system from the remote zone. It can also be programmed to operate Rotel CD and DVD players via the RX-1052’s IR OUT jack.
• Any source component connected to the
RX-1052’s inputs can be sent to the Zone
2 – 4 outputs. EACH ZONE operates independently. You can select a different source or adjust the volume in one zone without affecting the MAIN outputs or the other zones in any way.
• Avoid sending the same infrared command to the RX-1052 front panel sensor and a remote zone repeater at the same time.
This means that remote zones must be in a different room from the RX-1052.
Remote Zone Power On/Off
Once master power is applied to the unit by pressing the rear panel POWER switch, the
RX-1052 provides independent power on/off operation for both zones. Pressing the remote control ON/OFF buttons in the main room activates or deactivates the RX-1052 in the main room only and has no effect on the remote zones. Conversely, activating or deactivating a remote zone has no effect on the main listening room or the other zones.
To turn off all zones, press and hold the OFF button. Placing the rear panel master POWER switch in the OFF position completely shuts off the unit, for all zones.
NOTE
: For proper power on and off operation with Zone 2, the RX-1052’s power mode should be set to the factory default STANDBY setting or to the DIRECT setting using the Setting Power Mode procedure.

Controlling Remote Zones from the Main Room
You can control Zones 2 – 4 from the main room using front panel or remote control buttons to activate or deactivate a zone, change inputs, and adjust the volume. Controlling a remote zone from the main room is accomplished by pressing the SEL button, putting the
RX-1052 in multi zone control mode temporarily. Press the button repeatedly until the desired zone is shown in the front panel display, during which time you can use the front panel
VOLUME control, INPUT buttons, or +/– buttons to change the zone settings.
To turn a zone on or off:
1. Press the front panel SEL button repeatedly until the desired zone is shown in the display (Z2, Z3, Z4 or MAIN).
2. Within 10 seconds, press the ZONE button to toggle the remote zone on or off.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RX-1052 reverts to normal operation.
When a remote zone is activated, the front panel ZONE LED lights.
NOTE
: Pressing the ZONE button without first selecting a zone with the SEL button provides control of ZONE 2.
To change the input source for a zone:
1. Press the front panel SEL button repeatedly until the desired remote zone (or MAIN) is shown in the display.
2. Within 10 seconds, press one of the IN-
PUT buttons to select a new source. The name of the selected source appears in the display.
3. Instead of pressing an INPUT button, you can also push the CHARACTER +/– buttons on the remote to step through the inputs or turn the zone off. Select the “SOURCE” option to link the input for the selected zone to the input used for listening in the main room. When linked, changing the input in the main room will automatically change it in the remote zone, too.
4. Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RX-1052 reverts to normal operation.
To change the zone volume:
1. Press the front panel SEL button repeatedly until the desired remote zone (or MAIN) is shown in the display.
2. Within 10 seconds, adjust the volume control on the front panel or remote to change the zone output level. The new setting appears in the display.
3. Following 10 seconds with no commands, the RX-1052 reverts to normal operation.
Controlling a Zone from the
Remote Location
With a properly configured IR repeater system, you can control of each zone using the
RX-1052 remote from the remote location.
You can select and operate a source, adjust the volume, and turn the zone on or off.
If the tuner is not in use for the main room, you can also tune AM/FM stations from the remote location. Whatever commands you send from the remote zone will change that zone and only that zone, just as if you were controlling a totally independent audio system in that room. These changes will have no effect on the main listening room (except for shared sources).
To turn a zone on or off, press the ON/OFF buttons on the remote. To adjust the volume, press the VOLUME buttons on the remote. To select a different analog input source, press one of the INPUT buttons on the remote. You can also use the CHARACTER +/– buttons to step through the source inputs. Select the
“SOURCE” option to link the input for the selected zone to the input used for listening in the main room. When linked, changing the input in the main room will automatically change it in the remote zone, too.
NOTE
: When a remote zone is activated, the front panel ZONE LED lights.
MORE INFORMATION
Protection Circuit
A thermal protection circuit protects the amplifier against potential damage in the event of extreme or faulty operating conditions. Unlike many designs, the RX-1052’s protection circuit is independent of the audio signal and has no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection circuit monitors the temperature of the output devices and shuts down the amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
Should a faulty condition arise, the amplifier will stop playing. If this happens, turn the amplifier off, let it cool down for several minutes, and attempt to identify and correct the problem. When you turn the amplifier back on, the protection circuit will automatically reset.
