    a "catastrophic" error with my 1068

    I have had my 1068 in for repair for a while now and i guess finally they had a chance to look at it. Apparently the power source, audio and video boards failed. According to rotel this is a catastrophic error. Rather then fix the unit Rotel is going to replace it. I asked my dealer what could have caused it and he said he didnt know. Anyone have an idea, so perhaps I can change something to avoid it? Its plugged into a Richard Grey, and the only issue I can see is with heat as its in a small area, but I use fans and it never felt to warm to me.

    Van,
    I was wondering if you were using a surge protector or a power conditioner.

      Richard Grey 600s Power Conditioner/Surge Protector. Nothing else plugged in had an issue.

        Usually heat is the culprit, but check for the following posibilities: static electricity, exposed wiring, or perhaps it was just a defective 1068. Just my quick thoughts.

        Peace and blessings,

          If the power supply failed, I would imagine it could take out a lot of stuff on it's way out.
