Hi all,
First post; I was wondering if anybody has experience with the following?
I purchased a Rotel RSX 1056 approx 4-5 years ago new from Encel in South Yarra (Vic, Australia).
I had previously always used it with simple white/red RCA style input from an Xbox/other devices.
About a year ago I built a little HTPC to replace my Xbox and connected to the Rotel via Optical input. I've tried using both Optical ports and have a problem where it appears the digital handshake fails. When I start watching something on the htpc the display of the rotel flicks back and forward rapidly between sound modes (eg plxII cinema, dts, hdcd, etc) and it plays no sound.
If I pause the program and then play it, sometimes it'll start to play sound, sometimes it won't. This appears to be getting worse however I've tried other devices with optical output and it has the same result (I've also tried both of the optical inputs on the Rotel AND replaced the optical cable).
It's running firmware 1.2.3 which I see is out of date, and I'll try installing the 1.3.2 I found linked from this site earlier; however does anybody know what could be causing this?
As I said it's perfect via RCA cable, it's just when I try using digital input from any device via optical.
Any advice people can give is appreciated
Cheers
