    RSX-1055 and firewire interface

    Does the RSX-1055 have a FireWire interface In particular, I'm interested in whether the receiver can firewire link to Pioneer's DV-47Ai DVD player. Thanks in advance.

    There's no fireware ports on the Rotels so no you won't be able to connect the Pioneer in that way.

      Furthermore, that's a proprietary firewire link, intended to connect the DV-47Ai only to a similarly-equipped Pioneer receiver.

        Thanks for the info. I suspected not, but just getting started with HT. Also, losing patience with the wait for the rdv-1060, and exploring alternate players. Anyone have any indication if the long overdue 1060 is worth holding for another month (or months)?

          the DV47ai is not as proprietary as you may think and by the years end there are plans to make it non-proprietary. which could just be done with Firmware upgrades.

          Since Rotel doesn't currently have a Firewire port, this all will not matter untill they do.

            Hello fellow AVSforumners. I am in a dilemma and I need your expertise. I am torn between these four players and I cannot make up my mind. I just want to make the right decision. All these players I can probably get for about the same price. I just found the Pioneer 47ai for $550 and I think it is a...

            Firewire upgrade for 1098?
            by Tom Bombadil
            As an owner of the 1098 and a Denon A11, I have been wondering whether Rotel could or would offer an upgrade to the 1098 to give Firewire (IEE1394) connectivity?

            I am assuming that due to the modular nature of the 1098 that this should be easier to implement than pre-pro's of a closed...

            iPod problems w/ Pioneer Elite VSX-74TXVi
            by texasbwfan
            All,

            I recently upgraded my receiver from the VSX-56TXI to the VSX-74TXVI. All of my gear is connected per the instructions provided by Pioneer including my 40G iPod Photo. The 'ready for iPod' connection as sold by Pioneer has been a gigantic disappointment for me thus far. I'm able...
