    RSP1066 and Samsung STB Audio problems

    Hi,

    I have a Samsung HDTV Set top box (SIR-T150) connected to my 1066 via a Coax cable and noticed the other day that the Samsung has two Audio output options: PCM and AC-3.

    I have been using the the PCM option for a few months now without any problems. In this set up, the 1066 doesn't need to "re-acquire" the digital stream when I change channels on the STB.

    The other day, I noticed during ABC's Hi-Def presentation of Gladiator that the sound wasn't nearly as enveloping as the DTS track on the DVD. On a lark, I switched the Audio output on the Samsung from PCM to AC-3 and found out that the sound improved noticeably. (the DD logo on the Rotel lights up under this config). The problem is, however, every time I change channels on the STB, the 1066 has to re-acquire the signal, and in the process sends an awful pop to all my speakers.

    So my question is this: Is this normal behavior for the 1066 and AC-3 signals? Or is it a problem with the 1066 or the Samsung? With Coax connections? (I have not yet tried to see if this occurs on the optical connection (yet).

    tia!

    Which firmware are you running? (press and hold Mute till the firmware # comes up)

    This is often an issue with STB's but I thought Rotel tweaked the speed of the 1066 for digital signals with later firmwares.

      Hi Andrew,

      I was running 1.46 when I noticed it but the popping is still there even after I upgraded to 1.47.
