    Changing 1098's Inputs.

    My dealer mentioned in theory becuase of the way the inputs are linear on the 1098 you can remove/change some ofthe boards.

    Has anyone does this?

    Would it be possible to, say, remove the S Vid board and replace it with an additional set of Multi Inputs?

    No. While the cards are removeable, they all have to be in their same place.

      So really Rotel's whole modula system is a complete crock! When I come to replace the 1098 (funds allowing) I wont be looking at Rotel as they are always more than a few months behind everyone else, with the same quality

          Ease of diagnosing and repairing problems and the ability to update individual cards as needs arise. I know the DSP board has been updated with better shielding to help with some center channel noise. After replacing a 1068's DSP board on-site, I'll gladly take a card solution.

              Certainly. Judging from the firmware you started from you probably have the older board. Rotel should be able to see from the serial number.

                good to know. So if I call rotel and tell them the number they can send out the board? Is it an install I can do myself?

                  Yup, remove two screws, swap boards, reinstall two screws.

                      I'm sure there's an internal part number, but I wouldn't know it. It's covered as a warranty piece, shouldn't cost you or your dealer anything.
