Our very own Andrew notified Rotel about the "Wish List" post right here at HTG and here's what they had to say (Andrew asked me to post this):
It makes me, and all the other Rotel 1066 owners I bet, feel real good about our recent purchase! NICE WORK ROTEL! :T

Dear Andy
Many thanks for your comments on the Rotel RSP 1066 in fact the thread you have begun is very interesting. It highlights and confirms many of the ideas we have been discussing internally.
Our primary concentration of late has been wrestling with the introduction of Dolby EX and the changes that inclusion wrought on the product. There has also been a steady stream of dealer requests for minor adjustments to IR codes, default settings as well as the odd software snafu that's absorbed our engineering group time.
Rotel is now preparing the bigger brother to the SP 1066 that will be out next year and definitely the top three items in your own listing are already being featured in this new model.
We want to bring these operational improvements to all our models and in the course of the next six months there should be a major software revision. The last thing we want to do is to do is piece meal and so bundling all the changes together is important.
Even when we do make a major revision not everyone's ideas will or can be incorporated so somebody will be disappointed. However it our company intention to follow the desires and whims of the user base so please keep the list going we appreciate it.
Thank you very much for running this thread I believe in time your readers will see us begin to make some of the changes they are suggesting validating that we do take notice.
You may advise a couple of the people posting their needs that we already include the following fixed IR commands.
1) Cinema EQ is available with direct command
2) 5 Channel and 7 Channel stereo have direct IR
3) To turn Off/On the display hold down the OSD button for 5 seconds.
We have posted the IR commands in the Pronto format on our website.......a message to msheehan@equityaudio.com if you have a problem. But I see you use an address in Manitoba of Pronto PR does this mean you are connected to Philips?
