Yet another BM question

[spiffnme]

On the RSP-1068, can you set individual crossovers for each channel when using the multi-channel inputs for SACD and DVD-A? Or are you dependent on the player's BM when it comes to analog multi-channel?

you cannot set the crossover for the analog input with the 1068. the only type of calibration you can make is adjust the subwoofer level.

Still dependent on the player other than if you utilize the 100Hz "bass doubling" option. We'd need digital connections other wise or analog bass management which is not a popular option.

So even with the 1068 you're pretty much out of luck when it comes to BM for SACD and/or DVD-A? Most players have pretty crap BM as well.

For instance, if I had the 1068 paired with the Pioneer 563a, when listening to a DVD-A, the crossover would be 200hz, and there's nothing I can do about it?

...and if that's the case, I do kind of understand their thinking. If I've just dropped $1700 on the 1068 and another $1000 or so on a 5 channel amp, it's not likely I'm using a $149 universal player without BM.

But...it that is indeed their thinking, how is the BM on their own RDV-1060? I hope it's pretty darn robust. I checked the Rotel site, and it made no mention of BM.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ripping on Rotel. I absolutely love my 1066 and RB-1075, but I just don't understand what they're thinking when it comes to BM and players.

you can still control the crossover on your subwoofer can't you ?

Still I think that the Rotel solution is best. My 3801 still has tonecontrols and other stuff on the 5.1 input. That is why it sounds pretty bad compared to the 1066. So I like Rotels approach to have a direct as possible 5.1 input.

I have all large speakers, so BM does not really matter to me on 5.1 input. I own a dvd-2900 so I know all about crappy BM on SACD in players :?
