    RSP 1066 suddenly sounds bad in 2ch analog

    I have had a RSP 1066 for about 30 months and yesterday something strange happened. I turned everything on to listen to a CD and the sound was all messed up, kind of difficult to describe but it's something like listening to headphones held 5 inches from your ears. All bass and most of the treble is just gone, no dynamics at all. The volume is probably the same as before, but all dynamics are gone.

    If I listen to the same source and activate some sort of processing (DD ProLogic, 5 channel stereo etc) everything sounds normal, but when I listen to two channel stereo it sounds like crap. Tried several different sources (CD, TV) with the same result. Tried coaxial connection, ext in, CD in ... same result.

    As far as I can tell it's only in 2 channel analog that it sounds bad, no matter what source is used.

    Anyone know what could be the problem? Expensive to fix?

      Hmm that's odd. I'd suggest doing a factory reset in the menu and see what that does. Also try the multi channel inputs just to rule out the source.

          Good news, the RSP1066 wasn't to blame. Both speakers' terminals had oxidized! I removed the cables and reset them on both speakers and that solved the problem. This has never happened before, at least not two speakers at the same time.

                  RSP-1006 and MULTI Inputs problem
                  by pbarata
                  I’ve recently discovered a small issue with RSP-1066 and MULTI Inputs.

                  In my setup I’ve a DVD multi-player (SACD/DVD-A) connect to RSP-1066 through a coax digital cable and though 5.1 analog outs. The analogs ICs are connect to the Multi inputs of RSP-1066.

                  When I’m...

                  by dpippel
                  I received my brand spanking new 1066 in silver yesterday and have spent a few hours setting up and calibrating the unit. My question is how do I find out the software version that's installed in this puppy? I searched here but couldn't locate the answer. This is a new unit that came to my dealer in...

                  Wierd one this... watching Saving Nemo and whammo - 1066 suddenly seems to activate a software factory reset - by itself. All names for V1, V2 etc inputs, time delays, etc, etc are lost.

                  While writing this the system just switched off!!! And no I was not watching twilight zone....

                  RSP - 1068 / 1066 : Progressive Scan?
                  by Stevebez
                  My supplier of the RSP 1066, told me I need to hook up my DVD component output directly to my Plasma as the 1066 could not handle a Progressive Scan Output.

                  I have noticed on the 1068 back panel that there is an additional component input, but was wondering if this would handle a Progressive...

                  Question about Analog Bypass on RSP-1098
                  by vsarathy
                  All,
                  I have been thinking of getting the Rotel 1072 CD player. As it has very good DACs on board, I intend to connect to my RSP-1098 controller with analog cables.

                  There is a section in the manual that says that all analog inputs are upconverted to digital signals. It seems to...
