    RSX 1067 Cooling Fan: "On-n-off-n-on-n-off-n-on-n-off"

    I'm wonderfully satisfied with my Rotel RSX 1067 and have enjoyed it for close to 2 years. However, today I noticed something new. After an extended listening to a DVD in 7-channel stereo--the fan started and stopped, repeatedly--as if it just couldn't get started. It'd run for 1/2-1 second; turn off for 5 seconds; try to start again; turn off for 5-7 seconds; then repeat over and over.

    The fan has always worked normally. After listening to demanding passages at high volume--the fan will run continuously for 30-60 seconds. But this time--it's as if the fan just couldn't get going--or tripped and turned off before even getting started.

    Nothing has changed in the space around the receiver, and I wasn't listening to it any louder or longer than I have in the past.

    Perhaps someone can give me an idea as to whether or not you think there is something I should check out or not. Thanks, Wedge.

    Have you flipped it over and cleaned out the fans lately? A dust build up on the blades might cause an increase in resistence making the fan controller think they are damaged. Or one (I think there is two) might be going out.

        Hello,

        After reading the forum for many months, I'm finally posting here for the first time. I have just upgraded the front L/R/C speakers of my HT to Dynaudio Audience 52SE's and 42C. I also have 3 small surround satellites and a subwoofer (6.1 system). I live abroad and will take advantage...

        Hello,
        I am new to this forum. I am an audiophile with some restrictions to my location - I live in Brooklyn so space is limited, hence the need for smaller Quad Bookshelf speakers and the need to use a Sunfire Subwoofer even though I normally never use Subs. That being said here's where things...

        RSX-1067 or RSX-1056 from a RSP1066
        by lvs
        I am moving away from separates to simplify my Home Theater a bit, and just sold an ATI 1506 and Rotel RSP-1066. I am looking for a comparable-in-quality receiver to replace the separates. It sounds like the pre-amp sections are the same on each RSX receiver and equivalent feature-wise (connections...

        Hello!

        I'm new here and from Germany. I've to say these forum is very useful/helpful!

        What has happened: I was not sure should I buy a RSX-1067 or RSX-1056. In the end it was very easy I've got a brand new RSX-1056 (in black, what I prefer) for a VERY good price. ->...
