RSX-1067 - Zone 2 Issue

[FLAK]

Hi Rotel Club,

I recently purchased Rotel's RSX-1067 - and could not be happier with the upgrade in audio quality!!!

With that said - there is one frustration :x - that I have not been able to resolve. I can not get Zone 2 (my backyard) to work correctly. I have read the post about following the correct steps and performing a factory reset and tried to do this but it did not seem to work. I am not sure that I am doing this correctly.

I am hoping that a fellow Rotellian (is that what we are called?) can lay out this fix - step-by-step - basically, idiot proof it for me.

I currently have the Zone 2 speakers wired into the CB1 and CB2 positions. I have the front speakers set to Large and the CBs set to Small2. I have tried to simply send the Tuner to Zone 2 - but it doesn't work.

When I am playing a CD in analog and not in Zone 2 - I can hear some of the highs come through in the Zone 2 speakers.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated ;x(

You need to redirect the center back speakers to Zone 2. You do this from the default page of the menu and you have to reset your unit after you make the change, which wipes out all the changes you have already made.

Response from Rotel/B&W

Hi All,

Thanks Goson - between you and Rotel I was able to get them working...

When I posted my request for help here, I also sent an email to Rotel with the same request. This is the response I got from Rotel (less than 12 hours later!)

"You need to redirect the center back channels so that they know to power the Zone 2 information instead of any center back information. To do this you simply enter into the OSD and then go to the Main Menu. Select the Default Setup from the Main Menu screen and enter into the default setup screen. Inside of the Default Setup you should see an option for CB redirect (center back redirect). You need to select this option and change the CB Redirect from CB to Zone. Before you exit this screen you will need to move to the factory default option and change it from NO to YES and then hit the enter button on your remote. This action will reset the unit and make the redirect option actually take effect. Keep in mind that this is going to completely reset your receiver so you may want to make notes of any settings that you have customized within the unit since you will need to go back and make the changes again. This is all that is required to get the center back speakers to change to power the Zone speakers. If you want to call our technical support department for more help you can reach us at 800-370-3741."

Pretty straightforward - that is why I asked for the "idiot-proof" version :roll:

I think 1067 is not a bad choice
try some special brands or speakers
and you will see :T
