    serial cable for firmware upgrade

    To upgrade the firmware on my RSP 1066, is this the cable I need?

    Is there a cheaper way?

    Thankee.

    I am under the impression that it is a proprietary wiring scheme and you will either need the Rotel cable or will need to DIY one.

    Here is an HTGuide thread that explains it.


    Kevin D (Moderator) would probably know if this is correct or maybe even where a Rotel cable could be sourced.

      The cable part # is CB00004 and it can be ordered by contacting Rotel Technical Support at 978-664-2870.

      The pin configuration for this cable is available here (PDF): Rotel RJ45 to DB9 Cable Pin Configuration Diagram

        Thanks! Any idea how much the cable costs from Rotel? @#$%^& non-standard wiring, BTW. I googled up the pin connections for the Cisco cable, and indeed they are different.

          Serial Control of RSP-976
          by sanfransoxfan04
          First question, does this unit provide the verbose feedback that other Rotel units do? I'd love feedback on volume status, input selection etc.

          I am trying to control it with Crestron and having problems. I am not sure if the problem is my hacked together cable or the serial strings...

          I would like to share my 2nd upgrade experience with you so hopefully you would not run into the same issues I had. I have a Rotel RSX-1057; however, the issue described below would apply to any upgrade as it was not a Rotel problem.

          Firmware: (1057)
          my system = 2.1.2

          by TommyV
          OK I would like to hear from people who have successfully used a USB to serial adapter/converter cable to update the firmware on their 10 or 15 series processor or AVR. I want to be able to use my laptop to do this update which is Vista 64bit. I am trying to update my RSP-1069
