    New RSX-1055 Owner

    Is there an easy way of telling what firm-ware my RSX-1055 is running? I just purchased it three weeks ago (exactly two weeks after my wedding...)

    All and all I'm really pleased with the receiver, but I've got upgrade fever. I've already upgraded my front speakers and I'm looking at adding a phono stage and a new CD or DVD player.

    The only disappoinment I've had is the lack of a phono input. Now that I've spent more than my limit on upgrades I'm stuck with a horrible 70's vintage phono stage. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced phono stage in the $100-$200 range?

    Please read the faq for the question regarding the firmware version.

      That 70's phono might not be as bad as you think but if you're looking for a cheap alternative Radio Shack sells a little battery powered unit that apparently doens't sound too bad. Do a search for "little rat" in google and you're likely to find all sorts of discussion on it.

        Hey DZ,

        Welcome to the club. Regarding the phono preamp, the Parasound PPH-100 sells for $120 and can be found at places like Audio Advisor. Not used it personally, but others at HTGuide have and say it is very nice sounding.

          RSX1055 7.1 surround (Phew!)
          by Al K
          I have an older RSX1055 with original version of firmware. Recently hooked up two CB speakers and utilized the redirect feature in the on display menu. Initially the RSX1055 would reset the redirect back to front speakers. :cry: I called Rotel and was told to update the firmware. :roll: Then I called...

          RDC-7's Phono Stage
          by Burke Strickland
          Anyone else "into" vinyl? NOT the kind you wear -- such as 1970's disco pants :>) -- but rather, the kind you spin for music. In other words, LPs!

          One nice feature of the RDC-7, which you won't find in many competing models, is the built-in phono stage. Given the superb...

          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...

          Hi, please help. I have a RSX1055, and it has some static noise "bup .. bup ..." on one of the surround channel. It currently has firmware version 2.2.0-020819. Do you know what are the possible cause of it? Is there any newer firmware I should try? I tried the firmware links but it...
