RSP-970 memory problem

[NielsLu]

Hello,

I have the following problem:

When I'm setting-up my pre-processor the memory isn't working: when I have set the speaker settings (volume and delay) the sound is great, but when i'm changing source or turn off my pre-pro, every single setting is gone

Could this be an empty battery or do you think this is something else?

Greetings

It might be that a backup battery has failed, kind of like a CMOS battery on a computer. The newer units are hard written to an EEPROM and don't have a battery, but it's possible on an older unit like this.

Wouldn't hurt to crack open the case and see if you see anything on the board that looks like a watch battery (possibly as big as a quarter). If not, a call to Rotel tech support should give you an answer.
