Hello fellow Rotel owners! I just discovered this forum!
Anyway I own a Rotel RSX 1057 and when I purchased it I was under the impression that it recieved audio via the HDMI inputs. I was disappointed to find after the fact that it does not. I e-mailed Rotel customer support about the possibility of an upgrade that would enable it to recieve audio via the HDMI inputs but the response was not promising. The guy wrote me a long e-mail all about the HDMI 1.3 spec and stated that HDMI 1.1 does not support multi channel audio which is what the Rotel has. I wrote back and stated that there were other HDMI 1.1 recievers on the market that recieve multichannel audio via HDMI and are able to recieve LPCM digital signals from the new HD DVD and BluRay players. I never got a response after that.
What would it take to make this happen? I mean the inputs are already there so I can't imagine that it would be too difficult. Has anyone else wondered this?
