Trouble with headphones on 1098

[Linmuse]

Hi everyone I am having trouble getting a set of Sennheiser RS140 wireless headphones to work when connected to my RSP 1098.
The headphones use 2 rca connectors to plug into an audio out socket on the 1098. I have tried several different audio outs but the only input source that works is the tuner.
I've tried different internal switching on the 1098 but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help, thanks.

Linmuse,

Can't you use the Headphones on the Zone 2 pre-outs and then use that to switch whichever input you want? Apols if you have already tried that.

The only thing available out any of the VIDEO OUTs or the ZONE 2 OUT analog connections is what's coming in analog.

IE, if your DVD or Cable/DSS is only hooked up with an optical or coaxial, you will not get any sound out the analog outputs. You will need to run analog connections in addition to the digital. That's why your tuner works.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Yes i've tried many combinations of connecting and switching with no success.
If it is the case that i can only get analogue signals out without trying to hook all components up with analogue and digital cables then im pretty disappointed with Rotel for this oversight.
Surely im not the only guy that needs to keep the noise down occasionally.
I have emailed Rotel but no reply as yet.
This will be something i'll be looking for in my next processor.

Best way to keep the noise down is send her and the kids out shopping. Far fewer cables required...!

There are very few pieces out there that have DACs for the record / zone 2 outputs. I've only started to see it in the last year or so. Denon has it on a couple of their current receivers but it only works with a coax or Toslink digital connection. It doesn't work with HDMI so people still need multiple cables.
