Hold the mute button on the 1098, it will bring up the current version you are using and very nice set up you have...

Press the stereo button and it will toggle between bypass and stereo modes for those inputs that have analog inputs.

1098 for the bedroom? You must live in a castle.

well thanks a lot.I have a coax that is used so I guess it will not help.Also in the Inout when I change the default mode from PCM 2 to dolby or any other it still shows PCM 2 later when I i just check the on screen display by pressing the menu.
Well can any one suggest on this.

Check the DVD Player that could be set to just output 2 channel rather than Dolby Digital. No I don't know where to look but most DVD players have an option like this.

Also ensure you've setup the input correctly so that Video1 or whatever input it is on the 1098 has the correct digital source selected and that it's also has the correct default mode selected not stereo

If you want to use the analogue bypass mode then you will need to put a set of L&R stereo inputs into say the CD input on the Processor from your DVD Player as well as the coaxial cable.

Then when you select CD on your 1098 you are using an analogue connection. But to be honest i would have though the 1098 would have better inbuilt DACs then the DVD player if this is true then use it digitally and let the Rotel Processor do the decoding through it's better DACs.

Analogue bypass is great but it's pointless if the source is not as good as the DACs within the 1098 then you might as well use the 1098 to decode rather than the CD/DVD player.
