The RX-1052 can be the multi-room/multi-source heart of a “whole house” audio/video system! When used with six channels of external amplification – either three stereo amps or an all-in-one six channel model like Rotel’s RMB-1066 – the RX-1052 lets you direct up to eight audio or A/V sources to as many as four different locales. You maintain fully independent source selection, power on/off, and volume adjustment for each zone! And if you want to “get down and party,” the RX-1052’s “Party Mode” lets you do just that by piping the same source throughout your home. The RX-1052 includes four independent composite video outputs, too, so you can watch what you want where you want to watch it. Independent IR (infrared) links give you source control from any room while four separate 12 volt “trigger” circuits energize just those system components you need for maximum enjoyment – and maximum energy conservation.
