Is the 1067 out yet? Anyone seen one?

I just received my RSX-1067 and RDV-1060 last Wednesday. They are very nice pieces of equipment, but like you read so many times, a pain to set up. First the receiver: After trying over and over again to reach the set-up menu as explained in the manual, I gave up and shut the receiver off. I had the monitor on, so when I turned the receiver back on, low and behold, there was the system status screen allowing access to the set-up screens. Once set-up, I must say that this receiver knocks the socks off my Pioneer Elite VSX-37. Granted, an older model, but an Ultra certified and one of the last before Pioneer lowered the quality and prices on their Elite receivers. This is an extremely heavy box. I had some concerns about putting it into my all wood cabinet, but all is well.

Thanks pad, i was begining to wonder if these actually exist or not.
Any idea why rotel only offers 2 tos ins on this unit? I am already up to 3 tos and one coax now and I'd rather not go with cheap RS converters.Comment

My dealer told me that toslink is an inferior way to get digital data to the receiver. Even the digital coax is limited and not the recommended way to listen to DVD-Audio. I have a TiVo and a Mitsubishi HD tuner. There goes my two Toslink inputs. Fortunately they are my only two units that need Toslink.Comment

You can't listen to DVD-A or SACD with toslink or digital coax.

Hi Jason,
What I said in my post, and I apologize if it wasn't clear, that Toslink or digital coax was not the preferred way to listen to DVD-A. According to Rotel's manual, some software material may be beyond the bandwidth capabilities of even digital coax. Listening via the toslink or digital coax does allow you to do some receiver processoring, which depending on your point of view may be good or bad. Rotel's RSX-1067 manual is now available on their website. If I'm wrong on this, I would appreciate if you let me know. I am relatively new to DVD audio and based on the questions I've asked and the answers I've gotten, so are a lot of other people.

No worries, that's what this forum's for I suppose I could be more specific as well. You can't listen to the high resolution tracks at all through toslink or digital coax (and isn't that the point? 
). If you are listening through either digital connection you are actually hearing the lower resolution Dolby Digital track available on DVD-A's or the lower resolution CD track on SACD's. The only way to listen to the high resolution tracks (stereo or multi-channel) is through the 5.1 analog output of the player to the 5.1 analog input of your processor/receiver. There are a few companies, (Denon and Pioneer to name two) with proprietary digital connections that allow you to listen to the high-res formats over a digital connection but you have to own the appropriate player and same brands receiver to utilize the connection.

In case you haven't seen it yet, the "Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity" site recently posted a new review of this receiver:

I am, reluctantly, going to have to sell my Rotel RSP-1066/RMB-1075 combo and need to downsize, all due to space considerations in a new house. I like the Rotel sound and it works well with my speakers, NHTs. I am looking hard at the RSX-1067 receiver, as space-wise it will fit in the space available... -
Hello,
I am new to this forum. I am an audiophile with some restrictions to my location - I live in Brooklyn so space is limited, hence the need for smaller Quad Bookshelf speakers and the need to use a Sunfire Subwoofer even though I normally never use Subs. That being said here's where things... -
A few weeks back, I purchased a 1067 receiver from my local dealer. When I hooked it up, I heard a distinct buzzing sound coming from all the tweeters in my system. The buzz was volume dependent, but still quite audible at very low volumes. Since it was coming from all 7 speakers in my setup, it was...
