    Help with RDV-1060 set-up for DVD-Audio

    Hello to all,

    I've owned my RDV-1060 all of three hours and I'm stumped. It may be in the manual, but I just haven't found it yet.

    I have the 1060 connected to my 1068 with both a digital connection and six analog cables.

    I checked my speaker levels using the processor test tones and everything is balanced fine. When I run the test tones from the DVD player (for analog set-up---correct?) I find that my front channels to be dead on, but my surrounds are about 2.5 to 3 dB louder.

    I've found delay adjustments, but no speaker level adjustments?

    Am I missing something in the DVD set-up?

    Do you ignore the settings gotten from the 1068 test tones and back them off on the processor util the tones generated from the 1060 balance?

    If I do what I just mentioned, will the balance from a digital connection be off the other direction?

    I'm sorry if it ends up being a stupid question, but I didn't have this issue with my old deck. Thanks in advance...

      The speaker level settings in your reciever will not apply to the multi inputs which is why you need to adjust the levels at the source (DVD player). Consequently the speaker level settings on the DVD will not apply to the digital connection which is why you need to adjust the levels at the processor.

      Enjoy your new toy. :T

          Mark's correct, what's strange is you are right. The manual makes no mention of setting the levels. It says to turn the test tones on to help set the receivers level (which you can't do on the multi-inputs).

          I do know that the 1060 changes modes when you put a DVD-A disc in. Have you tried going into the setup menu after loading a DVD-A disc? That's really the only disc you would have to set the levels in the DVD player for anyway.

              I'm almost positive I had a DVD-A disc in last night. I'll try again this evening just to make sure. I'll try resetting it to the factory defauls and start all over.

              By chance, are you aware of any software updates? I didn't see anything listed on Rotels site.

              It seems to be a wonderful deck but this level issue has me puzzled...

                  LFE levels with internal test tones on 1098
                  by Andrew Pratt
                  Can someone please try calibrating with a calibration DVD like Avia and then see how those levels compare to the 1098's internal test tones? I thought the 1055 and 1066 I had were pretty close to the avia test tones incl the subwoofer channel but when I tried it with my new 1098 I found the bass to...

                  Question on Subwoofer Db Levels 1055
                  by Jsapp
                  I have set the sub levels on my 1055 on the Test tone screen at -3db (just a little HOT for HT)

                  There is a Subwoofer setup screen where you can set crossover AND set Sub levels for 2 CH, Pro logic DTs etc. If I set stero to -2db is that ADDED to the setting I did in the test tones. IE...

                  Calibration levels with RSX1055 (DVE vs internal test tones) Huge difference in level
                  by CaptainCharisma
                  Equipment RSX1055/RMB 1075 RS SPL digital
                  No software update...

                  I have always calibrated my hometheater with internal test tones, but i bought Digital Video Essentials to have the system 100% correct.

                  But the level difference is huge.
                  I set the volume to...

                  How to set levels for rear surround speakers?
                  by jakermc
                  I finally got around to adding rear surround speakers to bring the system up to 7.1 and I have a few questions:

                  How has everyone gone about setting the speaker levels for proper playback levels. I remember hearing somewhere that adding the rear speakers doubles the volume output in reference...

                  Connectingproblem RSP1098 and RDV1060
                  by Marcel54
                  I bought a new DLP TV so I connected my 1060 with component directly to my HD TV set (previously I used SCART). My 1060 is connected to the 1098 with composite for use of the TFT screen. Here's the problem: when I set my 1060 to progressive scan my TFT screen goes haywire (all I see is horizontal disturbance)....
