RSP-1098 and RMB-1095 questions

[thunderstorm77]

Good morning!

I finally got my RSP-1098 and RMB-1095, I must say I couldn't be more satisfied. A huge step up in sound quality, especially stereo, which is awesome considering it's a surround system. I use a high-end HTPC for all audio and video sources, and use the TV-out on the graphics card to get the desktop on the TFT.

I have a few questions:

1. Is the clicking-sound on RSP-1098 when changing between inputs etc. normal?

2. The firmware in the RSP-1098 is in the 2-series (can't remember the whole thing). Shall I update to the 3-series, og shall I just get the latest firmware in the 2-series?

3. Shall I always leave the RMB-1095 on? I use it almost every day. What about the RSP-1098 - shall I leave it in standby-mode when I finish for the day?

4. Is there a way to determine what sound signal (i.e. 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) that the RSP-1098 receives from the HTPC? On my previous receiver 44.1 kHz would show in the display. I try to achieve bit-perfect playback. My HTPC shall be set up correctly - shall I use the "2-channel PCM" mode on the RSP-1098?

Thanks for any help! Great forum!

1) Yes the clicking is normal. It's the switching relays.

2) No 3 series, you'll break it. Use the latest 2.xx file. TFT manufacturer change required new software, but 3.xx doesn't add anything over 2.xx.

3) I would put the 1098 in standby and run a 12v trigger cable the 1095 to shut it down with the 1098.

4) Uhhh... I think there is a way to show it, but it's not coming to me.. I'll try to check it later today.

Glad you're enjoying everything!

I've never found a way to display this sort of information on the 1098, so if there is a secret key sequence I'd love to know it.

About the TFT display -

- Is it possible to associate different video sources to the sources displayed on the TFT? I.e. when I change from DVD to PC, the TFT also automatically changes video source to be displayed?

- Is there a way to control the TFT diplay via the remote (RR-1050)? Can't find a way to do it.

Thanks.

You can set it to 'SOURCE' and it will follow the main zone.

Nope.. Not even with RS232 control either. I could use it sometimes, but I see the reason. Kind of goes against the reason for the screen.
