There doesn't seem to be any way to balance an analog stereo signal on my RSX 1055. I have a great turntable and some very good vinyl that is mono. Unfortunately the balance is not perfect on the turntable cartridge. I can't believe Rotel omitted a way to balance left and right channels. There sure are enough "bells and whistles" for surround sound.

Hi,
Correct me if I'me wrong: but perhaps you could use the level chanel setup for this, by for instance, increasing the right channel with a few db.
Hope this helps,
Jurgen
btw: great forum! I'me glad I could join. -
Hey, jurgen, welcome to the forum.
Yeah, if you calibrate your system with a sound meter such as that sold by Radio Shack and good software such as Avia, the sound should be balanced for all channels, including two channel.

I ran into something similar. Becuase of the way my room is set up (a large 4 foot opening into a landing and then open stairway up to the kitchen) after I did an Avia calibration when I listened to stero the sound stage (imaging) seemed to be slightly offset to the right). I wne in to test tone and calibrated the front speakers using the test tone. There was about 1.5 DB differnce between the Avia and internal test tone. (Left speaker being lower) I balanced them out using INTERNAL test tone and tahda the sound stage was less biased to the right. It is a bit of a pain to have to go into this menu rather than turn a balance control but the Test tone screen is the global balance setting and will apply to stero listening.Comment

Thanks for the responses. Indeed the Test Tone menu is global. I just assumed since you can't access it in stero mode that it didn't apply. My L+R speakers are set equally but some tapes and old vinyl can sometime be out of balance. My Rotel is a wonderful piece of audio equipment inspite of the extra work to balance and this forum is truely the greatest!Comment

Hi all of you RSX 1055 and RSX 1056 owners,
i have an interesting problem, for that I cannot find a thread in the forum. I was sure I read something about this, but I'm not quite sure.

I want to use an RMB-1075 in a bi-amp configuration to drive my center front and center back speakers. The speakers are Polk CSi40s and they have two sets of terminals, so they are bi-amp/bi-wire capable. My receiver is an RSX-1055.
The RSX-1055 has two center channel pre-amp outputs... -
Folks,
I own a RSX-1055 and I am planning to buy an amplifier (Audio Source AMP100) to power outdoor speakers. I was reading the RSX-1055 manual about zone 2 operation and it confused me a bit. I am looking for some clarification from the experts here. On page 25 in the manual it says:... -
Hi, I'm a first time visitor to Club Rotel and relatively new to Home Theatre. I've put some speakers aside (Monitor Audio Silver 8i's & 10i centre) and I was looking at buying the Marantz SR7200 AV Receiver. Then I heard it was being upgraded to SR7300 (6x110wpc into 8ohms all channels driven,... -
I am very much a beginner here although I have had a Rotel 931Mk2 for several years. Two things have happened- one is that the Rotel has gone to another home and the other is that I have finally decided to get into home theatre, although 90% of my system use will still be music- the RSX -1055 seems...
