I just got my second 1067 and it hums just like the first one. Why can't Rotel build a reliable product. I went throght 3 RSX-1056 a couple of years ago due to video upconversion problems and finally gave up and bought a Denon. I do like the Rotel sound and since I do not need video switching anymore I sold my Denon and bought a 1067 about a month ago. That one had a hum which the dealer could confirm so I have waited 2 weeks and this one is the same thing. I read another guy had 4 of these units and finally gave up. I guess I am ready to throw in the towel as well. Is there anybody else with hum problems with the 1067? Any suggestions for a good receiver?

Mine hummed too! I returned it for an RMB 1095 and RSP 1068. Haven't looked back since.Originally posted by Tubby -
That may be a resultant of too many products in one box - go seperates.Comment

my first HT system was a Yamaha DSP A1. It was humming also, after painstaking trouble shooting i found it was a grounding problem. If you have a cable box linked into your audio system you will need to ground them together then make sure they have a common ground to the panel.

Like Eddie mentioned most of the supposed "bad" Rotels are actually ground loop hums. Try adressing that issue and see if it fixes your problem. Though if the dealer had the same issue you could just be very unluckyOriginally posted by Wardo

On that same note, our showroom is one of the LAST places I would want to be testing humming audio gear in. With so many different lighting types, video sources, and everything somehow connected together we seem to chase down a ground loop every week.

i bought the 1067 over a year ago, it is fantastic. I had the hum and posted alot about it. the problem was the comcast digital cable box and a ground loop. I first bought a monster power unit which took care of it, later i did something and it came back. i took a small wire and crimped on an eye on each end, backed out a screw on the comcast box and the 1067, scrwed in the wire to each unit, NO hum at all. I agree, shouldn't have to do this, but not much trouble and once set up you never touch it again. the 1067 is worth every penny, good lcukComment

Hey all!
I'm a first time Rotel owner, been eyeing the RSX since the introduction of the 1065. First off, I did find a good amount of info on the hiss/pop issue amongst the threads, but didn't find much info on my questions and issues specifically so I decided to start a new thread,... -
Hello,
I built a new sub which uses a pro amplifier. I decided I wanted to reconnect my old Velodyne sub back up as well to improve headroom. I used a y-adapter at the input of the proamp to daisy chain over to the old sub.
When I first turned everything back on I was... -

I recently acquired a really nice RSX1067. What an amazing piece of machinery. After doing some research on here, it has the original install firmware and software. I found the downloads for the updated versions of both, however I have a couple questions.
1. Does anyone have a USB to the correct... -
I have a question about the RSX 1067. I have one and I would like to play my playstation in 5.1 and use my other 2 channels to listen to music. What do I need to do to make this happen. I was reading the user manual and it tells me that I need a seperate amp to do this. I thought there was 7 amps...
