I have had my 1068 in for repair for a while now and i guess finally they had a chance to look at it. Apparently the power source, audio and video boards failed. According to rotel this is a catastrophic error. Rather then fix the unit Rotel is going to replace it. I asked my dealer what could have caused it and he said he didnt know. Anyone have an idea, so perhaps I can change something to avoid it? Its plugged into a Richard Grey, and the only issue I can see is with heat as its in a small area, but I use fans and it never felt to warm to me.

Usually heat is the culprit, but check for the following posibilities: static electricity, exposed wiring, or perhaps it was just a defective 1068. Just my quick thoughts.
Peace and blessings,

If the power supply failed, I would imagine it could take out a lot of stuff on it's way out.

Man, there sure seems to be some confusion on this topic, reading through history. Anyway, my situtation is unique and I'm looking for any suggestions on a solution. I recently came home with a brand new RSP-1068 to replace my aged Marantz AV600/DP870 combo. Stopped at Radio Shack on the ride home... -

Last night was watching a movie, and all at once "Pop", my DVD player was off. Upon further examination, TiVo was off, as well as Satellite receiver. Looked a little further, and my Panamax Max1000 was completely out, no lights at all. So, I tried to get my DVD player back on, freaking out... -
Hey guys:
Would you mind providing opinions/advice related to power configurations in a stereo setup that includes a hell of a lot of expensive Classe equipment?
