LCD panel on C1 does not show video
I just bought a C1. It works perfectlly but for some reason I do not get the lcd panel to show the video program. I am only using the component inputs. Does anybody have an idea what may be going on?. The panel works just fine accesing the menus.

First, check to make sure you are on the right mode for the lcd. Pushing the "main" button once brings up the basic status stuff, pushing the "main" button a second time will put it in video preview mode.
Also, how do you have the source connected? It won't work via component video, only on S video or composite. -
It seems the problem is with the vidoe input. I am using component, not S-video or composite.
ThanksComment

The component video on the C1/C2 is a straight pass-through. Since the OSD doesn't work with component, it is understandable that the C1 LCD won't display component video either...Originally posted by aarebalo
A future hardware upgrade that adds component OSD might possibly fix the problem...

That sucks. So the LCD only displays video running through via composite or s-video? Waaaaack.Comment

That is correct, video from component video will not display on the C1's front display.
It's pretty easy to just run a composite feed from your sources in addition to component video for using the LCD.Comment

Actually, the LCD screen won't work with S-video, either. You must connect a composite video cable for the video to display on the screen. This is specified in the manual.
Like Brian said, though, it's very easy to run a composite video cable from your video source in addition to any other video cables you run. It doesn't even have to be a quality cable if it's only for preview purposes.
Me, I'd rather not have any interference or signal degradation trying to tie in the higher video connections to the LCD display, so this is okay with me.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

Chris, are you sure about the S-video?
I swear the only other cable I have coming from my DVD player is an S video and I can view it on the lcd. I'll have to take another look since it's been awhile since I hooked everything up.

Hmmm... well, page 37 of the C1 manual states "Signals from the S-video inputs also appear at the composite output jacks of the C1..." Page 38 clarifies that this is only the composite OSD output jack, not the non-OSD.
However, the only thing I could find in the manual specifically adressing the built-in screen is under troubleshooting on page 57.
Problem: Built-in screen doesn't show video program
Cause: No composite video signal available
Solution: Attach a cable from the composite video output of each source to the corresponding C1 composite video input jack
To be honest, I haven't tried connecting video sources via S-video and then see if they display on the screen without a composite connection. I'm travelling right now, but maybe somebody else could try this and see what happens? The manual seems to say that it's composite only. CHRIS

Hello all,

Hi guys,
I just replaced my Denon 3802 with a Rotel 1066 yesterday, hooked up to a Rotel 1075 amp. I haven't had much of a chance to listen to it yet but so far it sounds awesome.
I have a problem with my video connections though. I had no problems with the Denon 3802 so... -
Dear All,
I have a 6month old PLV-Z2 projecting about 2m to a 6ft screen.
Recently I have begun to see a red halo, about 1-2 pixels wide above OSD menus and also from a component signal from a DVD. This is accompanied by
a similar blue effect below.
Not sure... -
Since this is the first receiver/processor that I've owned with more than 2 component video inputs I wanted to check with the other 1098 owners in the group to make sure I was reading the setup information correctly. You can connect 5 video sources, labeled Video 1 thru 5. You have 4 component video... -
Dear Rotel enthousiasts,
Yesterday I bought a Pioneer plasma screen to complete my Rotel setup
After concluding all the (required) connections I found out that there's a problem displaying (progressive or not) an 1060 image on the Plasma screen.
I really hope...
