    1098 - Upgrading from 1.1.6 to 2.1.3 for 7.1 setup

    Guys, I'm currently running 1.1.6 on my 1098. I'm installing an additional two surrounds on Saturday. I'm looking to update the 1098 software to 2.1.3 as it has what I need for ProIIx, and it seemed to be a stable update. I wanted to have it upgraded so my installer can calibrate it with the new settings.

    I'm getting the 2.1.3 firmware from Kevin D's post: http://www.htguide.com/forum/showpos...1&postcount=27 and using the following EPROM update from the Rotel site: http://www.rotel.com/support/techups/techup-H20.htm
    I didn't want to wait for the 2.1.7 software as I don't see much benefit for me. Plus, I would like to wait until it is stable before proceeding with that upgrade at a later day. From what I've read, 2.1.3 seems to have been a pretty stable release.

    Anybody see any issues with this? Please advise.

      EAmin,

      Just ensure the you perform EPROM first, and then the 2.13 upgrade, and also follow the directions to the letter. I had not experienced any stability issues with that upgrade.

      7.1 channels is a beautiful thing, the center backs add another dimension to the sound, completely enveloping you in the experience. Just be aware that the center back speakers should be a match in tonal quality, IMHO.

      Keep us posted, I'm interested in knowing if the experience is a overwhelming to you as it was to me (after upgrading my cb speakers ).

      Good luck,

      Azeke

          EAmin-

          It appears to be a good game plan to me. I say do it. v2.13 was very stable.

              Also remember to do a system reset once you have updated the firmware and software.

                      Shootout : Parasound C2 vs Rotel 1098 (long)
                      by DrBoom
                      Well, it's been almost 2 months now that I've lived with both my Rotel RSP1098 and my Parasound C2 and the time for deciding which I'm going to keep is almost at hand.(not that I HAVE to decide now for some reason, but I'd hate to end up with 2 processors permanently)
                      I actually own both of them,...

                      Problem with 1098 connected to Plasma
                      by dwhite
                      I'm having a video problem with the RSP1098. I'm trying to figure out whether there is something wrong with the 1098, some incompatibility with my plasma monitor, or some bad mojo in my house. All ideas or experience with similar set-ups would be greatly appreciated.

                      The problem shows...

                      After reading all the posts and pics finally took the plunge and bought the RSP-1098. It is a dream machine - beautiful look, beautiful sound, beautiful LCD.

                      by xavierzx11
                      I have had my 1098 for about a week now, but because of my family (3 young kids) and my job I have only had about 4 hours of real setup and listening time, so this is not meant of be an indepth review. But before I get started on the 1098 I would like you know a little about where I came from so you...
