How to tell if the RSP1069 has the scaler bypass mod?

[Ross1069]

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to upgrade from my, now ancient, RSP976 to the RSP1069. I have a dealer willing to do a really good price on the 1069, but I'd like to know if there's an easy way to tell whether the unit has had the video scaler bypass modification done or not.

From the phone conversations my dealer has had with the distributors, it sounds like the distributors don't know that much about this modification. I have directed the dealer to this thread...

but I said I would also ask here as there is a lot of knowledge on this forum.

Any help is appreciated!

If its new and/or the firmware has not been updated by anyone, you could go into the setup menu and see if the're an option for HDMI bypass under VIDEO settings.

If the firmware has been updated, there's no real way to tell without calling Rotel with the serial number to see.
