Where are software upgrade switches located in rsx-1055? I am ready to upgrade to latest software, but I cannot see them after removing cover plate. Bad eyes?? Thanks.

I don't own the 1055, but believe it is on the back panel in the upper left quadrant right above the "optical" digital imputs. It should be a small rectangular shaped cap being held on by either one or two screws.
Again, I own the 1066, but this is where I think it is on the 1055.

The Rotel software upgrade instructions seem relatively easy. If I could locate the software upgrade switches. There is 1 rectangular type cover with two screws in the rear left quadrant of the 1055. It looks like it is labelled rf block, so I do not think that is the right one. Nothing on the Rotel website either. I will definitely be patient with this one.
Thanks

Unless they changed the text on the back, should be fairly easy.
Plug the cable into the port that says Computer IO and then remove the plate above DIGITAL COAX INPUT 1, flip the switches and go to town.
The plate has the words SOFTWARE UPGRADABLE next to it.

Kevin's right, on the 1066, the plate has "Software Upgradable" printed right over it. At Rotel's site, they have a diagram of the rear of the 1055 and right above the "digital imputs" jacks, that's where they show the plate with "Software Upgradable" written right to the left of the plate. It's pretty small, perhaps 1" by 1/3". Sure, you don't see it there?
Here's a link to the diagram I'm looking at:

Just a thought because I know other owners have done this before. You're not actually inside the unit are you? In other words, you haven't opened it up, right? Because the plate we're talking about is on the outside of the unit in its rear.

The upgrade would not work with my wife's hp laptop w/windows xp. It worked fine with my old Dell Latitude laptop with windows 98. I myself am a Mac guy, so I was lucky that I had such a choice of computers to get the upgrade to work. Now I am in the process of re-setting the various parameters.
I really enjoy the fact that the record input source no longer shows up in the osd. Some of the other setup screens look different. I.E. the delay setup screens look very different. I appear to have one delay setup for Dolby D/DTS with no front left or right speaker delay. Also, there is a delay setup for dolby pro logic ii with no front left or right speaker settings and no setup for center speaker. This is confusing. I will have to spend some time on it.
Thanks to all for your assistance.

Mostly people want to upgrade the 1055 or 1065 with a 1075 or 1095, for that extra bit of power. But how good is the 985mk2 as an upgrade?
Its a lot cheaper second hand, but because its also a lot older, i dont know about the quality.
So my question is it better to use the internal amps... -
I have been reading this board for a while (2 years?) and decided it was finally time to post. Any advice on a logical (but this hobby isn't logical is it) upgrade path would be greatly appreciated.
My current set up is as follows:

G'Day you mob,
Let me first say, being new to Rotel gear and new to this forum, what a great help it is to have forums like this with people being happy to share their experiences and give advise to us mere mortals. Living on one of Australias last frontiers (Darwin), the forums are invaluable... -
Sorry- I didn't have luck with any searches-
Will it be possible to upgrade the 1055 to handle DTS96/24? Will the hardware support a firmware upgrade or will it require new hardware? Is Rotel even considering this or any further updates to the 1055 or does it just have it's eyes on the... -
I recently updated the software on my RSX-1055. I have my Comcast HD cable box connected to my receiver via the digital audio out of the box to a digital input on the back of the receiver. Now whenever I turn on my cd player or my heater turns on or I turn the lights on in the adjacent kitchen, the...
