RSP-1069 question.

[timjclark]

On a side note to check the audio version I hooked up a composite cable to the monitor out on the 1069 and held down Mute nothing flashed on the screen (I assume you mean TV screen). I am able to bring up the OSD so I know it is connected right. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem. You need to unplug the HDMI cable in order to see it. If that does not do it, try selecting the MULTI input source before pressing MUTE.

I cannot find a Belkin USB to Serial adapter (Why Rotel have you not updated this method?). Here is what I did find. It seems to have good reviews unlike many adapters I see where the drivers do not work etc. Even says it works with Vista which my notebook is.

What do you think?

Here is the one that I bought from Amazon:

And it worked fine for my 1069 upgrade with XP.

OK well HDMI and composite are two different things. Am I looking for this on the TV or the unit display. I have three HDMI's plugged into it. The composite I rigged up on Eric's suggestion.

It will show up on the TV not on the unit. For some reason the audio version only shows up on the TV with only the composite (I think S-video will work as well) and not on the front panel like the main and scaler. As Tim suggested, unplug the HDMI from the monitor out on the RSP-1069 (and switch inputs on the TV) when you do this and you should be good.

First off, thank you for the suggestion. My laptop is Vista (64bit) so that adapter unfortunately will not work for me according to multiple reviews written. I am planning on starting a thread about what adapters people have used people have used sucessfully to update their processors/AVRs.

Thank you Tim & Eric for attempting to help me do this. Here is what I have tried now. Put the unit in standby. Unplug the HDMI monitor out cable that goes to the plasma, power on and still nothing on the screen when I hold down mute. Just the same two versions flash on the 1069 display. I know I have the composite cable connected correctly because I am able to bring up the OSD but nothing flashes on the screen when holding mute.

I still have my three HDMI sources plugged into HDMI input 1-3. Could that be the problem? I would like to confirm this, I wonder why I am having this difficulty. If mine is a late model that had bypass, 1.47, and 1.1.8 out of the box, what are the chances it has audio version 1.1?

I would still love to figure out why I can't get it to come on the screen. What is next? S-Video? Component? Do I have to unplug everything from the back of the unit?? 8O

Thanks for the help guys.

If yours came with the bypass, you have audio 1.1.

I just posted to another thread about this but for a clarification I have a 32bit Vista laptop. The drivers for the Belkin USB to serial adapter may not work with the 64bit version (thanks Microsoft).
