    Do you have to disconnect?

    Do you have to disconntect all connections to your RSP-1098 to do the Firmware update, can you not just disconnect your speakers and turn off all components(DVD) etc.....

    Thanks

    I'd remove all connections as it will send out signals through the connections if it they are plugged in. Not that this will hurt anything...but it can turn on and off your amp (if you use 12v trigger) which can be annoying. It is best to disconnect, but technically you don't have to...

    I had to just to move the unit to the computer...so I never worry about it. Plus I have pictures of where everything is plugged into, along with EVERY screen on the menu, so it took me a matter of 2 minutes to reset everything. I checked calibration and it was all correct with the SPL meter...

    If it were me, I'd do it just to be safe...but I don't think it'd be manditory.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      I don't disconnect anything when performing the firmware update and I've never had a problem.

        I also left everything connected when I updated the firmware on my 1068. I just turned the power off on a few of the components. Update went perfectly.

              That's likely b/c you haven't powered off the unit properly...or something is out of sync.

                    You do need to power down your amp and also power down the 1098 using the switch in the back.

                    Follow the instructions exactly as they are written and you won't have a problem.

                      This is totally normal... its the rs232 control stuff that is output over the port during normal operation (in this case, video source 4, volumn 45, etc). Flick the two small rear panel dip switches to change mode, as it says in the instructions - follow the instructions to the letter and you'll be OK.

                        I need help. i am trying to upgrade my Rotel using mtty. I am doing everything correct - disconnect everything, power off, set toggle switches on, launch mtty, connect, power on rotel, I get the correct screen text asking me to choose 1, 2, or 3 - this is where I hit a road block. I am unable to enter...

                        Rotel Firmware update -- info
                        by chamath
                        I would like to share my 2nd upgrade experience with you so hopefully you would not run into the same issues I had. I have a Rotel RSX-1057; however, the issue described below would apply to any upgrade as it was not a Rotel problem.

                        Firmware: (1057)
                        my system = 2.1.2

                        RSX1055/RSP1066 firmware
                        by audunth
                        Hi!

                        As I still have my RSX1055, I'm really pissed off by the fact that Rotel haven't provided a firmware update since 2003 (V1.50/2.26)!! I remember a thread on this forum listing a whole lot of issues/bugs about the 1055/1066 that we hoped would get fixed in a firmware update, but I...

                        Everytime I have to disconnect and reconnect my AMP, I get no sound!
                        by BKSinAZ
                        About one year ago I bought my RMB-1095 amp and took it home. I got it home and did the very simple hook up, however I did not get any sound. I took it back to the shop and they 'claim' that the remote switch was on the "on" position which corrected the problem.

                        I seem to have an issue trying to upgrade my firmware for the RSX-1067. I have made all necessary connections and hyperterminal adjustments per the website. However the issue is that the upgrade process seems to have stopped midwar and seems to just sit there doing nothing. I have tried this like 3...
