    Happy ending to my 1098 story

    As you may recall, I posted a couple of weeks ago reporting
    serious problems with my 1098 (thumping, glitching, EM sensitivity
    to heaters and refrigerators turning on).

    The dealer gave me his demo unit, which exhibited none of these problems (except for some residual clicks when switching from non-HDTV to HDTV programming). Emboldened by this and by the enthusiastic reports from this forum, I agreed to wait for a 2nd replacement unit (his demo was in black, and my original unit was in silver).

    Well, the good news is that the new unit arrived and was installed 2 days ago. So far, it has exhibited no problems whatsoever, with no clicks or glitches. Everything seems flawless.

    The unit came with 1.1.6, and I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon. Judging from the reports on this forum, the 2.1.1 upgrade can cause problems, and I can't avail of the added IIx processing anyway. I don't have rear back speakers, and am running only a 5.1 system.

      Sridhar,

      Congratulations. I'm glad you persisted and took everyone's reassurance to get a new RSP-1098. The clicking you have left sounds normal relay action and we have a wish-list item to reduce even that. I hope if gives you years of happy listening.

      And, the 2.1.1 upgrade - give it a week or two for the instructions to be cleaned up and more people's experience to be documented - and then I'd try it - it's a nice upgrade for lots of reasons....

          Geoff, this isn't the relay issue, it's something some of us have that's quite different! The relays don't cycle, but you get a loud "click" out of the speakers. Sometimes, loud enough to worry you of speaker damage.

          Sridhar, well done for getting a good one! I had exactly this problem with my first (thumping, glitching, EM sensitivity to heaters and refrigerators turning on), and I got it replaced. Trouble is, my second one has gradually (over a couple of months) picked up the symptoms of the first one. Just today, it has got to the stage where the fridge on/off cycle has escalated from a nasty click through the surrounds to a complete cut off of the digital signal from the DVD...

          I have an expensive power conditioner on order, if that doesn't fix it sadly I'll have to ditch the 1098. I can't have my movie / CD sound stop every time someone switches on a light!

              Problem with 1098 connected to Plasma
              by dwhite
              I'm having a video problem with the RSP1098. I'm trying to figure out whether there is something wrong with the 1098, some incompatibility with my plasma monitor, or some bad mojo in my house. All ideas or experience with similar set-ups would be greatly appreciated.

              The problem shows...

              Shootout : Parasound C2 vs Rotel 1098 (long)
              by DrBoom
              Well, it's been almost 2 months now that I've lived with both my Rotel RSP1098 and my Parasound C2 and the time for deciding which I'm going to keep is almost at hand.(not that I HAVE to decide now for some reason, but I'd hate to end up with 2 processors permanently)
              I actually own both of them,...

              Rotel RSP-1098 Serious Video Glitch
              by rlin
              Need inputs from owners of RSP-1098

              After reading all the posts and pics finally took the plunge and bought the RSP-1098. It is a dream machine - beautiful look, beautiful sound, beautiful LCD.

              However I noticed a serious video glitch I don't know if anyone else have noticed....

              My first look at the RSP-1098 and a look back
              by xavierzx11
              I have had my 1098 for about a week now, but because of my family (3 young kids) and my job I have only had about 4 hours of real setup and listening time, so this is not meant of be an indepth review. But before I get started on the 1098 I would like you know a little about where I came from so you...
