Bypassing internal amps on RSX-1056

[AGS]

Hey guys I have a question for ya...! I'm running the RSX-1056 and had a party recently where one of my buddies brought a PA system...an outdoor party I should add. He had some RCA or XLR inputs on his system and of course the RSX-1056 has the RCA pre-outs which I utilized to feed into his board and use his amp...so my question is how do I turn off my internal FL and FR amps so I'm not rocking the house with my main speakers while we party outside?


I'm also planning on adding the RB-1080 soon...so what are you guys doing with the internal amps on the 1056? I know they can be redirected to zone 2 and I'll do that eventually...but is it ok to use the pre-outs without speakers attached (therefore providing an infinite ohm load impedance to the internal amps)? I've read the manual and have been lurking here for a while but I'm still not clear on this. Thanks in advance for your advice... Ags :roll:

Yes if you're using an external amp you don't have to worry about turning off the internal amps...they'll be fine sitting idle. For your party situation I'd connect the PA amp to the zone two pre outs if you don't want it also playing in your main zone.

ok then!

Right...that makes sense. I was wondering about using zone two..but wasn't thinking that clearly that eve :^x and wasn't about to start experimenting while also trying host a bash...thanks a bunch Andrew that sounds easy enough. I can't wait for that RB-1080! Ags
