Rotel popping conclusion

[Glenn]

I have been steadily reading and trying to follow all the various messages regarding the popping sound with various Rotel products.

Can anyone comment if this problem has been successfully corrected yet, or is the solution still in progress?

Also, just to clarify, does this popping sound only occur when switching between inputs, or does it also occur, for example, when watching a movie on DVD and suddenly in the middle of the movie a popping sound will occur?

Thanks for any input.

Hi Glenn,

No, the problem has not been resolved, nor is there an across-the-board consistency as to when it occurs. Some report the popping intermittently no matter what they're doing. Others report that the problem only when say switching between functions.

It appears to be sporadic and not affecting the performance of most units. I don't think it can be traced by things such as serial number or firmware edition, but am not sure in this regard.

Personally, I wouldn't let it stop me from getting a Rotel. I'd just make sure there was a good return policy if I had a problem.

You probably already read this, but here's the most recent discusion on the matter.

Agreed. My first unit had the problem..exchanged it for a new one and everything is just fine and dandy now. Rotel sound for the money..can't be beat. I have the 1075/1066 seperates and couldn't be happier. Drive em hard..they love it!
