RSP 1068- fading display

[RoMan]

Hi all,

My display on my RSP 1068 preamp is starting to fade out. For example the subwoofer letters seem really dim. I have it turned up to bright on my remote but the letters are dim with certain functions on my display.

Is it possible its a fuse that needs to be replaced? Any advice is most appreciated on how to remedy this situation. Thanks again.

There is a Display Refresh Procedure that might remedy your situation.

Subject: Front Display Refresh Procedure

The fluorescent front display of the RSX 1056, RSX 1067 and the RSP 1068 utilizes a dot matrix display consisting of hundreds of pixels, which illuminate as needed. Over time, the pixels that are used frequently will remain fully illuminated, while those pixels that are not illuminated often may lose brightness. Refreshing the front display periodically will ensure that all pixels are restored to their full illumination across the display.

For this purpose, there is a refresh procedure that enables the display to be refreshed at any time. Activating the refresh mode of the unit will illuminate the entire front display, and after a period of time, all pixels will be equally bright. Depending upon how frequently the display is refreshed will determine how long the refresh period needs to be – at most a period of about 4-5 hours should fully refresh the display, or less time if done at regular intervals.

To activate the refresh mode of your unit, place the unit into the standby mode. Next, press and hold the “2CH” and “MUTE” buttons on the front panel simultaneously while powering the unit on with the remote control. The unit should power on with all the pixels of the display illuminated and the front panel buttons can be released at this point. The unit is fully functional while in the refresh mode and the unit can be put into the standby mode and the display will remain in the refresh mode. The refresh mode will be deactivated once the unit is brought back out of standby.
