    Hooking up all my Rotel equipment

    I'm about to unbox my Rotel 1067 receiver, 1060 DVD player, and 1055 CD player. Any suggestions that will make my life easier in "dialing in" this receiver and/or DVD player would be appreciated.

    This may seem dreadfully obvious--but it took me more than a few minutes to figure out: you have to have a television hooked up to access all the settings. Silly me, I figured I could set things up without it!

      hemifever>>> Congrats on your new toys! It would definitely help to read the manuals carefully and understand what each setting will do before you start tweaking. Enjoy~ :T

        Why both a DVD and a CD player?

          The CD player was a good buy from a company going out of business. And even though the 1060 has good CD playback for being a DVD player, I wanted a dedicated CD system to ensure I get everything I can from CD's. And of course the 1055 is a changer so for holidays I can put in a handful of CD's for continuous music.

          I have M&K S-150 thx fronts, S-500 thx rears, and an MX-350 thx sub. I really want to hear some nice audio.

          My local Rotel dealer said they'd loan me an SPL meter to get the receiver calibrated. Anything else particular on the receiver setup?

            Some sample pictures to whet your appetite of my current equipment rack. Theater project is nearing the end.

            The actual rack, current as of today. Not fully complete, but pretty much so. I chose to go with a horizontal rack to allow the large window above it to remain unobstructed...

            New Rotel DVD Player and Scaler
            by bullitt731
            I spoke to my local AD today after noticing Rotel had added a new DVD player to their website. Apparently they feel this will be used as a 480i transport to mate with their new 1080i scaler. I was told the DVD player is priced at $499, and the scaler will be $1,199. My primary question to my AD was...

            My question is, do I also have to hook up the analogue Left and...
