Just notice, after almost 2 years, that when a light is switched on/off a static noise is generated in the outputs of my RSP-1066. Is this a expectable behavior or should I request a repair of my unit?

You should upgrade your home's electrical

I’ve been using a Rotel RSX-965 RDS as a temporary replacement, while my RSP-1066 went for service for about 7 months, and I never noticed the same effect on RSX-965. Furthermore, I would swear that I've never noticed that behavior on my RSP-1066 before. Maybe something could be wrong with the last repair ?!Movies: Samsung LCD LE37A557, Rotel RSP-1066 & RMB-1075, Sony PS3, VdH D-102 Hybrid III interc, QED XT-350 & Supra Rondo 4x2,5 speaker cable, QED Qunex P75 coax, Monitor Audio Silver 5i/8i/10i speakers, REL Quake sub, QED Qunex SR-SW subwoofer cable, IXOS XHT458 HDMI, Supra LoRad, Isotek Mini Sub GII;

It's expected depending upon the type of switch, the type of light that's on it, and whether or not the switch is on the same circuit as the plug for the 1066.
Basically you need to get with an electrician and find a way to isolate the audio equipment power.

Yeah a deadicated 20 amp circuit to the gear.

pbarata, a 7 month repair? wow...
A decent line filter will also do the trick, may be cheaper than rewiring. Rewiring may not even be an option, because power outlets and lights rarely share the same circuit or fuse... You may have a demanding light (halogen), or a noisy light (fluorescent), causing dips or noise to travel back up to other circuits.
I doubt it's a problem with the 1066.Comment
