    Help with an issue

    Hi Everyone,

    I have had a RSX-1056 reciever for the past two years now with no issue. Recently for some reason i will loose signal when watching a show and the audio will cut out for some reason and then come back. I thought it might be the cable and the source so i changed the cable and tried it on my DVD player but same thing. This seems to only happen on coax digital inputs and not optical ones.

    Does anyone know what might be causing this?

    The last question i has was why does rotel no use a ground on there cables.

    Thanks and happy new year to everyone
    Thanks Terry

    Is it just one type of signal or all signals coming over the coaxial (PCM, DD, DTS..) If it happens on two sources with two cables, then chances are it's in the 1056. Since the opticals have to go through an additional circuit to convert it back to electrical, it's possible it takes a different path to the decoder chip as well. So I could see something breaking just in the coaxial section.

      Coaxial vs Optical
      by Aeromos
      I'm throwing this out to everyone. Which of the two gives a cleaner and more detailed sound? I've always thought that going with optical for surround sound was better than coaxial. But recently I've read that What Hi-Fi magazine prefers coaxial over optical. Please clarify your opinion (or fact) and...

      Exploring Common DIY Terminology - Coaxial Driver

      Coaxial Driver

      A coaxial driver is a type of speaker driver that incorporates two or more drivers mounted concentrically within a single chassis. It typically consists of a tweeter mounted at the center of a larger driver, such as a woofer or mid-range driver. The coaxial design aims to provide improved integration and coherence between the different frequency ranges, resulting in more accurate and coherent sound reproduction.

      Advantages of coaxial driver design:

      How do I convert coaxial to s-video or component
      by deke
      I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but I would like to run a coaxial cable through a upconverting preprocessor / receiver so as to get component video to my TV as well as send the audio to speakers etc.

      Problem is I haven't seen any receivers / processors that accept...

      RSP-985 OSD issue? Anyone remember this unit?
      by ChrisDC
      Hi everyone,

      A specialised Rotel forum seems to be the place to ask this... But it concerns an old piece of kit, so hopefully you guys have got good memories!

      I've recently had a RSP-985 on my bench and noticed what might be a problem with the on-screen display. (I'm using...

      Optical vs. coaxial digital for the 1066
      by gshisme
      I have been using digital optical cable for both my DVD and HDTV satellite receiver to connect to the 1066 and my dealer yesterday told me to throw away my optical for coaxial. Huh? Everything I have read points me to optical cable. Any comments on optical vs. coaxial cable use.
