New guy with a Rotel problem

[Shaq]

Great forum but I feel at times that I am in over my head
I need help with my Rotel

Memorial Day weekend my beloved system suffered yet another shut down

ONCE AGAIN the Rotel Surround Sound Processor RSP 1098 has failed during a party for the NBA LAKERS Suns game 6

pretty embarrassing and then of course the Indy 500 party was moved elsewhere

Quite simply the unit shuts down spontaneously and when rebooted it lasts anywhere from 1 minute to thirty before crashing again

I have had this fixed two years ago and the unit was replaced by Rotel due to the same problem.

I have the Rotel Amp DVD and another Tuner , all of them have been flawless.
B and W speakers in a 5.1 arrangments with a Runco projector all excellent

This unit just seems to be of poor protoplasm.
What gives?

What do you recommend?
:evil:

This has to go to Rotel for a fix. This is not an easy fix.

Consider that the unit may have reached it's limits.

First of all, welcome to the forum! Bummer it had to be under these circumstances.

I agree with Ferres. This should be returned to your dealer or if you do not have a dealer, then Rotel directly.

You might want to call your dealer or Rotel first. Very wierd that the same issue has cropped up.

I almost sounds like the power supply acting up, or something telling it to shut down.


Hope this helps.

If you have excessive power fluctuations where you are, it may be contributing to the problem. You can get a digital meter to check.

Do you have a power conditioner or power regulator?
