    RDV-1060: Flickering/double subtiles with DTS audio

    Hi,

    My Rotel RDV-1060 DVD player has a subtile problem with DVD discs when I select the DTS audio Track and turn subtitles.

    8 ot of 10 discs have this problem: it are the movies that use small font subtiles like most of the wide-screen 16:9 one's.

    The subtitles flicker heavily and are shown sort of double.
    Well you will see immediately there's something wrong.

    Anyone else with the same problem ?
    My DVD has software version 2.11.

      Any particular studio or type of disc? Also what subtitle language?

          nvdeynde, I had a similar problem with subtitles, I couldn't turn them off on some of the DVDs. But this problem disappeared after Rotel exchanged the loading tray and upgraded the software. They also meant that my settings were wrong, which surprised me the most. I'd check your settings first... Wasn't there a hidden menu in the RDV1060? (maybe that was my oppo player)...

              Hi,

              It's with all languages of subtiles but the weird thing: Only on the DTS audio track, when switching to AC3 flickering is gone.

              A few example of DTS movies: Kill Bill 1 and 2, Chaos, Out of Reach, Nine Lives, My Life without me, Where the truth lies.

              All the DVD's play perfect on my Pioneer and Denon DVD player so it's definately a Rotel issue, not a disc one.

                  I know they had a 2.1.2 software, and probably even a later version. I would start contacting Rotel to see about an upgrade and then see if you still have the problem.

                      Hi,

                      What's the latest European software version for the RDV-1060, is it 2.12 or is there a newer version ?

                      I know there's a Dutch version 4.11 but that's about the worst software I have ever seen: then you loose almost all functionality...

                      I had that one, never again, in that case I rather keep the dizzy subtitles on DTS tracks eventhough a cheap DVD player of 50 US$ doens't have a problem like this.

                      Subtiles here in Europe are basic functionality for every DVD player since the first DVD player was introduced.

                      In that point of view I'm very disppointed in Rotel's quality.

                      I have a brand new RMB-1095 with buzzing internal transformers from time to time as well. I get depressed from all this :cry: :cry:

                          My last TV was a Sony RPTV. One feature I miss is that RPTV's ability to add subtitles to almost anything. If I had a DVD that had subtitles that I didn't like the positioning, I would use the TV's subtitles. If I had a DVD that did not have subtitles,...

                          Das Boot Superbit - German DTS
                          by David Meek
                          Just thought I'd warn you. The Superbit DVD of Das Boot has only the German soundtrack in DTS. The English version is DD 5.1. Personally, on this movie I don't care. I've seen the English version enough that I watch it in German with subtitles now. Can't wait to here this in DTS - wow!

                          progressive on RDV1060
                          by sirbogey
                          My RDV1060 came back from Rotel with an exchanged tray. When I put in a DVD or CD, it takes like 10 secs for the disc to load. This was a matter of 2-3 secs before. What have they done to it?

                          Another question: I changed the picture to watch a movie in progressive mode. When I do that,...

                          I have my configuration since October last year and from the start I have a problem with my RDV1060 and RSP1098 that if correct all users of the SCART connection should have. If the RDV1060 is connected to my TV through the SCART connection and the DVD-player is set on SCART then the TFT on the 1098...

                          4805 Flickering

                          Am I the only one that notices that my SP4805 brightness flickers during movies?

                          After I loaded the service pack, that was released back in December last year, it started flickering in dark scenes. I have contacted Tech support several times and all that I can get back from them is "we...
