Hi all, I have been lurking in this site for some time since I purchased my RSP-1098 back on February 2003. I received the unit last week and installed it. I used to have an RSX 1065 with very good results. Only problem is that analog inputs were considerable louder than digital ones (optical and coaxial). Besides that, I was pretty happy with the sound.
Now that I installed the 1098, I'm experiencing the same as the 1065 but now is worst. Switching from an analog input (CD, VHS, etc) to digital ones needs a lot of adjustments in volume. Even when watching Dish Sattelite System, when the channel uses the digital output, I need to adjust the volume since it sounded muted. In some DVD Music material recorded in Dolby Digital, I need to turn the unit to almost 80 to get a fair sound (not too loud). Also I found setting the Contour to MAX in both HFL and LFL to get a better dynamic sound. Any ideas? Any feedback will be very welcome.
In another subject, I'm also experiencing the Video Glitch. I discovered that if you setup the PROGRESSIVE in the Video option and also output the signal to both Screen and Monitor (TV) there is some interference to the High Definition TV and the TV starts trying to set 1080i and 480p intermittently. I needed to switch the Video option to output only to the 1098 screen with no PROGRESSIVE to have it work properly. It is no good since I want to see the OSD in the TV screen but I may wait for the software upgrade to fix that.
Besides that I'm very happy with the clarity of the sound and definition of the equipment.
BTW, my equipment is this:
Rotel RSP-1098, Rotel RMB-1095 (1), Rotel RB-1080 (1), Yamaha S2300 DVD, Definitive Technologies Speakers: BP7001SC (Left/Right), C/L/R 3000 (Center), SuperCube Reference (Sub-Woofer) and BPVX/P Surround Speakers (4)
Any feedback will be very appreciated.
Regards,
Luis
