    what the difference between rsx-1055 and rsx-1056?

    I can't the information of rsx-1055 on rotel.com at all. Also, i don't see the retail price of their equipment anymore.

    thanks.

    The most easy way is to look in the manuals on both products. The RSX-1056 is the newer one and has decoding capabilities of the latest surround formats.

    The manual of the 1055 you can download here
    For the manual of the 1056 model, look here

      You might also try the search tool on this site. There have been numerous threads here discussing this issue. Thats why its here so we don't have the same thread over and over. :P

        All the latest stuff has a new generation of preamp in it, most notably, composite, S-Video, and the on screen display are all converted to component video out so you can run one high quality connection to your TV.

        I believe the 1056 also added the ability to redirect the front two channels to either channels 6+7 for surround, or to zone 2. I think the 1055 lacked the zone 2 redirect.

        lastly, the current crop comes with the RR1050 remote

          RSX1055 subwoofer connection - how??
          by OakIris
          :? I just bought a subwoofer - a Velodyne CHT-8 (I know, not the best sub to use, but what I could afford at this time!) - and realized that the Rotel RSX1055 has no sub connections! How do I connect a sub to this receiver? The owners manual is no help, nor is the Rotel site. I did a search here, but...

          Preamp choices: RSP1068 or RSX1056 or AVR3805?
          by csuzor
          Is the better choice the RSP1068 or RSX1056 for pre-amp duty?

          I will add the RMB1066 (in bi-amp mode) or the RMB1075.
          I am upgrading from a denon1804 to drive B&W700series in 5channels only (no sub yet)

          Being budget limited, choosing the RSX1056 allows me to...

          by rick c
          I always thought that the rsx1056 should not be used with 4ohm speakers.Atleast that's what rotel told me a while back when i was inquiring about dynaudio speakers,so i ended up with B&W 603s3's/lcr600(really liked them anyway).Well i have upgraded my speakers to a System Audio setup(sa1750/sa720av/sa505's)these...
