1068 Bass Mgmt for 7.1 ins?

[rmassey]

How does the 1068 handle Bass management for the 7.1 ins for DVD-A/SACD?

I currently use a Panasonic RP91 (w/o BM) and an Outlaw ICBM for DVD-A. This works fine, but I would like to reallocate the ICBM along with my current receiver to another room in the house. I am very happy with the RP91 and it will stay in the main rack for a long time (I love the scaling feature and nothing else compares), so please no suggestions to buy a new transport with proper BM.

Does the 1068 properly handle BM for this situation so I can retire my ICBM?

Sorry if this is already been discussed.

Like most pre/pro's and receivers there is no bass management on the anaolog inputs. It is straight passthrough other than for volume control. The only thing resembling bass management is the user selectable digital copy of the bass summed below 100Hz and sent to your sub that Rotel calls "LFE Redirect".

Thanks Jason, this is just what I was looking for.

rmassey,

I don't believe the bass management makes a DIGITAL copy of the analog inputs to redirect to the subs. If that would be the case then a fixed crossover of 100 hz would not be necessary. If its a digital copy you need all the ADC's and then you could use the digital processor with the variable crossovers of other options in the 1068. I think that the 100 hz filter is fixed because it's a fixed hardware analog filter.
