    Digital Video Essentials & 1066

    Can use some help on how to work with the Digital Video Essentials DVD and my 1066 processor, I hope this is the right place to post this question. Specifically, while I am probably missing something pretty obvious, I am having trouble sorting out how to work with the audio setup/test tones.

    When I go to the test tone section, my first issue is no matter what test tone I select it cycles through them and doesnt just stay on the one I selected. Now the more important issue, once I set a reference level (lets say I use the master volume to register 75db for the left channel), what do I have other than the master volume control to adjust the other channels while in DVD play mode?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    Phil,

    The DVE audio tones will not allow you to pause on a specific channel. You must quickly make the said channel adjustment on the processor... or then make the adjustment then scroll back to the specific channel with your DVD remote.

    One you have adjusted the volume of the Left Front Main to your 75db. reference level using a SPL meter, the rest of the speaker levels will be adjusted with the TEST TONE menu on the Rotel Processors OSD (On Screen Display). Ignoring the actual audible "test tone" from the Rotel... simply adjust the selected speaker's level up or down. This is time consuming as you must switch from the On Screen Test Tone Speaker Adjustment to the DVE Test Tone for each speaker adjustment.

    Also, while you are doing all this be sure to set the Speaker Delay from the On Screen Display. The Rotel manual can explain how many milliseconds per foot delay for each speaker. It is pretty easy and straight forward.

        by Jack71
        Ok, here's my little makeshift 2ch. Stereo / HT setup so far:

        Klipsch RB-5 II's on stands (using as fronts)
        Hsu MBM-12
        Hsu VTF-3 MKII

        I've also got a pair of Klipsch RSX-3 satellite speakers but I haven't incorporated them just yet. ...

        Sub Test Tone Level (should be) Fixed in RSP-1098 Upgrade
        by Aussie Geoff
        Hi,

        It was suggested to me by one of my sources that the DSP EPROM update in the latest RSP-1098 firmware release (plus the native EPROM code in the RSP-1068 and RSX-1067) fixed the issue that many of us RSP-1098 owners had with the Sub level in the Test Tone menu being 10 dB too low
        ...

        RSP1066 Test Tone
        by zeppelin
        I have 1 question about the Test Tone on the centre channel.
        When I use the SPL meter to calibrate my centre speaker using the internal pink noise from the 1066 at 75db, the centre is set at 0db.
        But when I use the Test Tone from my DVD source pink noise like the "Video Essential"...

        RSX-1067 No test tone from Center Back
        by ka724ka
        Hi,
        I just owned this receiver to replace with my old cheap one that I brought 5 year ago.

        The setup was pretty smooth. I hooked up all 7 speakers which I used on the old receiver, when I tried to test them with test tone in the setting, I found out there is no test tone output...
