    Any issues with Rotel 1056/1067/1068 and Dolby Digital EX?

    I just got a new Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player, and am noticing an issue with SD discs encoded in Dolby Digital EX - when I advance a track forward (aka chapter skip) the Rotel gets confused and outputs tons of noise.

    Changing inputs on the rotel and back fixes the problem, so the output stream is obviously ok.

    I wonder if anyone else has had any issues with Dolby Digial EX on this series of Rotel products?

    (by the way...
    Dolby Digital EX only works on rotels that are configured for 6 or more speakers (not including the sub)

    Toshiba A3's don't output dolby digital by default - they output bitstream (2ch)

    So I won't be surprised if this hasn't come up yet!)

      Not that I've seen. Are you at the latest firmware?

      If you have two center rear speakers, I would recommend running all Dolby Digtal signals with PLIIx applied rather then EX. You will have to apply it to a regular DD signal and a DD-EX signal to make it default on when either signal is seen.

          I wouldn't be a bit surprised if thats a problem with a lot of Rotels.

          I have an RSX-972 that gets confused when skipping chapters once in a while. I also have to switch inputs, then everything is fine.

          I know my receiver is older, about 6 years, but still.

              I will add another problem that could be related: I have a RSX-1057 and Dish DVR. On recorded material, sometimes I skip forward and loose sound completely. Need to turn off receiver and back on. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's still annoying.

                  DOLBY DIGITAL PROBLEMS and 1068
                  by DHR
                  I have a question about the Dolby digital. I think the Dolby digital is set to on - on the satellite receiver. This causes the 1068 to switch to Dolby digital even though it is set for 5 channel stereo. I am confused with the Dolby digital. Once it switches to Dolby digital the sound quality is worse....

                  Which delay for Dolby Digital on RSP-1066?
                  by pbarata
                  I’ve recently moved my surround speakers and now I have a higher distance from listening position then before.

                  After making some measures and calculations I end up with a suggested delay of 3 ms for Dolby Digital.

                  Unfortunately RSP-1066 only accepts increments of 5 ms,...
