Connecting a Tuner to the 1068

[chanlon]

Hello,

I own a 1068, 1075 and RSX-972 receiver. The receiver is currently being used to Power a 2nd zone setup in my house.

What I would like to do is to use this 972 as a tuner for my 2nd zone setup. Thus, the receiver will be acting as both the amplifer and tuner for the 2nd zone setup. Is this possible?

If so, where would I connect the RCA cables leading from the tuner output on the receiver to the 972?

Thanks,
Chris

Are you wanting to use the tuner in the 976 as the tuner on the 1068 also? If so, it's possible but could be slightly complicated to keep everything straight..

Connect the tape out of the 976 to the 1068 tuner input. Whenever you select tuner on the 976, tuner on the 1068 will work. You can have Tuner on both zones, tuner on zone 2 only, but you can't have tuner on zone 1 and something else on zone 2.

Thanks Kevin. I'll get it a try and see what happens. I only want the tuner for Zone 2 listening.

I don't see why you need to run any RCA cables at all unless i'm not following you on this. If you're using the Rotel receiver as the amp and tuner why can't you simply select the tuner on the receiver and listen to the radio? The 1068 shouldn't come into play at all in this situation...unless you're by passing the volume on the receiver?

Its because I'm a meatball :-)
I was thinking too much about this. Let me try simply powering the receiver and see what happens.

Thanks again,
