    Experience with RT 1080 Tuner?

    Hi,

    I'm thinking of getting a Tuner to go with my 1098. Does anyone have experience with the RT 1080 Tuner they'd like to share?

    Other Tuner's you'ld recommend instead?

    Regards

    Geoff Costello

      The RT-1080 is a great tuner... lots of presets, etc. The one complaint that a number of people have with it is that the display cannot be dimmed and it is pretty bright. It is not a problem for me because all my equipment is in a rack in the back of the theater, but if you have your equipment up by your TV screen, you may find the brightness objectionable in a dimmed or dark room.

              I bought the 1080 a few days after i bought the 1098, I realized how much i listen to the radio.I like the 1080 its a great piece.I did put up a outdoor antenna,it brought in many more stations and no drifting.it also has rds which displays the name of the song (cool). plus it looks nice with the 1098 sitting underneath

                  aramb,

                  I was just reading the RT-1080 manual on line and it seems that you can dim or turn off the display of the unit from the remote.

                  DIMMER Button
                  Available only on the remote control, this button selects three display brightness settings: NORMAL, DIM, or OFF. When the display is OFF, pressing any button or control will return it to the NORMAL mode. Press the button to cycle through the three settings.
                  NOTE: When the tuner is turned off and back on, the display reverts to its normal setting.
                  Is this a typo in the manual and the unit can not do this?

                  Thanks,
                  Maziar

                      Rotel Tuner RT-1080 vs Rx-1050
                      by aboroth00
                      Hey all,

                      I was wondering if any of you had the chance to compare a Rotel separate tuner, the RT-1080 to the tuner in the Rx-1050 receiver. Would it be worth it to purchase the separate tuner or is the tuner in the 1050 already good enough?

                      I am , and have been considering a tuner ever since buying my 1066/1095. I am considering the RT-1080. Any comments or suggestions. Do you folks even care about tuners, and does anyone have the RT-1080? And if so would you care to give me your thoughts.

                      What's in a tuner?
                      by Parsonsk
                      I've been looking at buying a Rotel tuner RT-1080 but at $750 CDN it seems that there might be better options out there!
                      My only beef is that i'd like the system to match.

                      ...But what makes a tuner worth so much and is it worth it? I can buy other brands for a third the cost so...

                      RT-1080 tuner - display is too dim
                      by kneptune
                      I just traded in an early version of the current RT-1080 tuner (was black version) for a newer silver version of the 1080 tuner (had to make it match the silver RSP-1098 - for the all important WAF).

                      As per the RT-1080 owner's manual addendum, the newer 1080's display now functions slightly...

                      RT-1080 tuner + 1068 remote (RR-1050)
                      by Glenn
                      Just curious if anyone else has experienced the same glitch as I have with the RT-1080 tuner + 1068 remote (RR-1050). I don't suspect there is any fix for it, but doesn't hurt to ask.

                      I blank out the display of the RT-1080 tuner by holding down the "display" button on the tuner...
