Runnin in a new av receiver

Hi

Im going to pick up my new Rotel RSX-1067 receiver in a few days & was curious to know if I have to run the receiver in and how do I do it for optimum performance?

Cheers

Just use it.

are you asking how you should "break-in" your receiver? I was told by my Rotel dealer to run it at moderate or low volumes for about a good 20 hours, before you start cranking it to higher levels. This is what he told me to do with my RMB1075, it should be the same logic for your RSX1067. Good luck.

Ahhhh, the "break-in theory", I usually run it for 48 hours continously, at a moderate volume.

The theory simply states that you should notice a SQ/PQ difference as the components begin to settle.

Although many don't, I belong to the component break-in school of thought.

Even though I'm waiting for my 3rd 1056 to come in, hopefully without the humbuzz, I have noticed with the first two that the sound became a tad mellower after 40 to 60 hours.

Thanks for all the help, I think I will follow the advice from you guys and break it in.

And if it's like with my amp, it will play alot better when warmed up (sounds better after 10-15min and excellent after an hour).
