I was wondering if anyone has ever sent their unit to Rotel for the firmware upgrade? I've got 1.2.1. and want to take advantage of the 1.2.8. Mainly because I've been getting alot of audio drop out lately. And it's getting a little annoying. I originally upgraded my 1068 about 3-4 years ago, but I've misplaced the cable for the upgrade. Plus, I had my daughters boyfriend did the upgrade for me (This stuff is over my head). But they broke up and I can't do it myself. I haven't contacted Rotel yet. For some reason I'm unable to send them an E-mail. I'll probably call tomorrow. Anyways, what was the cost and how quick was the turn-around time? Thanks.

I would imagine (hope) they would do a simple firmware for free (plus shipping). Might have better and faster luck finding someone around your area on here to help you out.
Worse case scenario, you can send it to me for an immediate turn around for whatever shipping is.

Left a message with Rotel tech. They should be getting back to me by tomorrow afternoon. If they'll do the upgrade and it's not too $, I'll let them have at it. I'm hoping that shipping both ways would be under $40. But, if they can't/won't get it done in a decent amount of time, I might just send it to you Kevin. :B Thanks!Comment

Other possible ways to get the firmware upgrade:
a) take it to a local Rotel dealer
a) have daughter get new tech-savvy boyfriendComment

I could have suggested it but she never listens to me anyways. Fortunately though, Kevin D is going to do the upgrade for me. ;x( I should have it back in my system in a couple of weeks. Kevin's the man
Since I am without a HT for awhile (got my 2 channel though) I will be going through each piece of equipment and cleaning/dusting them out. I'm even taking the covers off to do a through cleaning with compressed air. I will be taking pictures of the topless gear. I may post some of the pics.Comment
