New(to me) RDV-1060: 0/1 with DVD-A

[loki_ut]

Just picked up a used RDV-1060 in great condition. Went to best buy today to get a DVD-A and picked up Foo Fighters One By One . Put the disc in and go to the main menu without problem, but locks up when asked to play either 2ch or 6ch tracks. The version of software on the player is 1.22. I have already asked to the seller to talk to the dealer he purchased the unit from, to see if he can get the CDR with ver 2.12.

So, do think updating to ver 2.12 will fix the problem? Or have I found another problem disc?

Thanks for any input,
Matt

PS: The RXS-1056 will be arriving on Thursday, Christmas never ends

Considering the fixes that have been put in place, it would surely be a good start! That's got to be an old version as I don't thin kwe've ever seen a 1.XX version come up before.

Well, the original dealer claims not to know of any upgrades discs. My local dealer is not much help either. For them, Rotel is "Entry Level" and there nose is a little high in the air to help.

Is there anybody who would be willing to copy the update CDR and send it to me? I would be more than glad to pay any cost(blank CDR, shipping, etc).

thanks,
Matt

Kevin, I was unaware any rdv units had upgrades available. Browsing Rotel does not show anything. Is there an update for the 1050 and how would I check the version now using my 1050's remote?

[Kevin D]

I've only seen upgrades for the 1060 and haven't seen too many issues with the 1050's.. The 1080 might have something, but I don't believe it's user serviceable.

was thinking maybe it would fix that hdcd problem i have.

Well, I finally got the dealer to help. We installed the update, and now I have version 2.12. I used the Diana Krall DVD (couldn't find the the Linda DVD locally). However, the Foo Fighters DVD will still not work. It loads the first track and even shows the picture on the video output, but won't start the track. I will let Rotel know I may have found another trouble disc. It is released by RCA/BMG, wouldn't have figured to have a problem. Another interesting thing, the screen color has changed from green background to blue. Do you know if this is related to the update? Has this happened to anyone elso who has done the update? I will try to find one of the Beethoven DVD to try and see if it has any problems with it.
