RSX-1056 annoying issues

Hey guys,

#1 I have a couple things that are getting really annoying. When watching a DTS movie if I pause the DVD player and then un-pause I don't get any sound back. I have to power off the Rotel and power it back on before it will start working correctly again.

#2 I also every once in awhile will switch from say my HDTV feed to my Tivo feed and even through I can see that the Rotel changed inputs I'm still getting Audio from the previous input. If I switch back to "input 1" then go back to "input 2" it usually then corrects itself.

Is there a firmware upgrade or something? Are any of these issues a known bug or something?

Thanks!

#1 I've seen before. Hold down mute and let me know what firmware you are at. There are some fixes in 1.2.1/1.2.2 that could help in your situation. If not, it usually winds up being a DVD player that has a poorly designed digital out. If available you can try swapping from optical to coaxial (or vice versa).

If neither work, you should be able to hit 'menu' on the DVD and then 'return' or 'menu' to go back. I've never seen a menu have DTS so this forces the DVD player to output PCM/DD, then returning resends the DTS flag.

#2 I've not seen. How are all the connections between the two inputs? The 1.2.1/1.2.2 updates tweaked a lot of the digital input issues and may fix your problems.

1.2.1 actually had the fixes, 1.2.2 fixed a small bug with 1.2.1.

My new 1056 has 1.2.3-050512 Is this the most recent software ?

That's more recent than what's available at Rotel's site. Let me see if I can get some info..

Thanks for the heads-up.

Thats what i thought too ! Maybe we get different firmware here in Australia ? As you would know from the thread i started mine is only a few days old.

Thanks for the help guys!

Holding down the mute button I get 1.1.7-040413. It sounds like I'm a few revisions back.

I'll have to check the menu and see what inputs I have things plugged into but usually I am listening to a Coax input and I switch to a composite L/R from Tivo. I have had it go the other way as well.

If you think I need to upgrade the firmware are there instructions somewhere? I think I still have that cable that came with it.

Yup firmware and DVD output are the biggest culprits. I had a similar problem with my 1066 and upgrading to a higher quality optical cable completely fixed the problem as well

Yup, go to Rotel's site, then support, then software downloads. Everything you need is there along with instructions.

Hey guys,

Annoying stuff from a 1200+ dollar piece of equipment. The place I bought the reciever from is over an hour away and its been like 18 months since I bought the reciever, I don't know what I did with the reciept.

Is there a firmware upgrade or something? Are any of these issues a known bug or something?

Thanks!

hey Mike, LTNS....we both bought our 1056's at the same shop. According to their web site, you don't need a receipt. I believe him too. It's a small shop and he will most likely remember you.

If you need a hand upgrading, let me know, I'm not too far from Andover. (Hudson, NH).

Hey!! Yeah I have been laying low, during the summer time I'm out racing cars every weekend and don't have much time for HT stuff. Now that the season is coming to a close I'll be a HT geek again until the weather warms back up.

I haven't done the upgrade yet, its going to take me more time to unwire and rewire than it will to do the upgrade. I'm an IT guy by trade so I'm sure I can figure it out. I even found the Serial/RJ45 connector! :T :T

If it rains this weekend I'll probably tear it all apart, I'll let you know how it goes. 8)

Mike,

Where are you racing? Geez, I'm also an IT geek...

I've left my cable connected to the 1056 and stashed behind everything. I hate messy cables........but you know, if you organize them and tidy them up, you'll need to remove something sooner or later which messes it up again!

Wherever I can! I was supposed to race at New England Dragway today but it was rained out. I was rained out at Lebanon Valley Dragway near Albany last Friday. :M Getting old! I also Auto X and Open Track racing 7-8 times a year.

Thats a good idea to leave it connected, I think I'll do that too. Of course after I rip the 2000000 wires out so I can upgrade the firmware. :roll:

**TTA89** · 19 November 2005, 18:43 Saturday

Bump!

Ok I finally had enough of these issues. It took me 15 min to disconnect everything and upgrade the firmware.... Now as I look back over the living room I'm having second thoughts about this.

What have I done!!! Well everything needed a good dusting anyways. I'll report back in a few hours once its up and running.

**Kevin D** · 19 November 2005, 20:38 Saturday

Hmm.. If you calculate how much your time is worth, it might have been cheaper to buy a laptop..

On a similar thought, how many would be interested in a long programming cable? What length? 50' is spec maximum, but 75' or 100' might work. I might get with Lex and see what we can come up with.

**TTA89** · 19 November 2005, 21:32 Saturday

LOL I have many laptops. Following the instructions it says to remove all connections from the Reciever. So thats what I did, I figured I haven't done a good cleaning any there were a bunch of non-used wires hanging around.

Its mostly back together now, I haven't hooked up Xbox or Playstation but the firmware update didn't fix the input issue I was having. :M :M

Switching from HDTV Video 2 that uses Coax1 to Tivo Video 5 that uses Analog it doesn't always switch the audio input correctly. So I'm watching Video 2 and I switch to Video 5 and I see the display on the Rotel switch and display what I switched too but its still producing audio from Video 2. Grrr.....

I also noticed latley that lip sync hasn't been very good on any inputs. :x

**Kevin D** · 19 November 2005, 21:48 Saturday

Do you have any unused digital inputs?? Just a thought, but try changing video 5 from analog to an unused digital input. This should force switch the digital input over, but then it will default to analog when it doesn't detect any signal.

You did default the receiver after the upgrade right? This seems to be needed after certain updates.

**TTA89** · 19 November 2005, 22:06 Saturday

Yes I defaulted it. I would love to run a digital input but Tivo only has Analog outputs. :roll:

**Kevin D** · 19 November 2005, 23:13 Saturday

I actually meant assign it to a digital input that doesn't have anything connected. There might be a bug when going from one digital input straight to analog. Perhaps assigning a unused digital input will help force the switch. When it doesn't detect a signal on that digital input, it should then default to the analog connections.
