Looking for some help with my Rotel RSX-1057. I purchased this used and was assured all was in working order. I am having two problems and am not sure where the issue is. Hoping someone can help me.
Problem number one:
Sub doesn't get any input. At least I don't think so. It's not making a sound. Other channels are fine. I just tried a new cable and there's no improvement. Hard for me to tell if the Sub is bad or it's not getting a signal. My first thought was to check the set-up settings on the receiver - which led to problem number two. This is why I'm leaning toward a receiver problem over a sub problem.
Problem number two:
I can't access the On Screen Display. The only way I'm aware of is via the remote. I have a RR-1050 that came with my original Rotel RSX-1056. I've read elsewhere that this remote will work with the 1057 and it is almost identical to the remote that came with that unit. My remote does seem to operate all basic functions without any problems. When I turn on the unit or change the volume the OSD information appears on the TV screen. But when I press the Menu/OSD button on the remote I can't access anything on the OSD. So it is impossible to reach the set-up/settings screens. The audible tone (beeb on the remote) sounds when I press the button, so I feel like the remote is working. I put a new set of batteries in the remote without any improvement.
Anyone know what I'm missing. I feel like things are probably OK, but I just have something set up wrong. I am not a true audiophile or HT junkie. But I loved my Rotel/B&W set-up for years. Really want to find the glitch and fix it.
Thanks in advance.
