Got it, uploaded it, an it worked fine, so far

Allready noticed the volumebar has disapeared, and the silly mute change.

Other question. I've the right datacable (DUH ) it was included by the 1066, but I also have the RR1090 remote. There was also a datacable included. I wonder if it is also the right one, maybe I'm the only lucky basterd with two original Rotel datacables

Any word on when 1.49 will be offically released yet?

[Andrew Pratt]

no not yet...if they're still working on the bass management as per Dre's converstations with Rotel then they might be holding off till that's fixed before releasing it...

[greggz]

Thanks Andrew.

Also, I haven't tried 1.48 or 1.49b yet. Did they ever increase the time delay available for the fronts. Currently it max's out at 5ms and I find that this isnt enough for my projector's scalar when playing DTS encoded discs. I dont have a lip sync issue with DD, but I do with DTS for some reason.

I asked Rotel about the change in the mute function from 1.48 to 1.49 and it turns out someone at one of the major trade mags (not important who) wants it the way it is now. I asked about another option for us that would like it not to unmute itself but logistically they can't support two different versions of the same firmware so we're basically out of luck on this one.

This is interesting. I read that article and also manufacturers comments for that article. Rotel stated in the manufacturers comments that they will not do the change since they received comments from dealers (which mean you guys) that the mute function is fine. Now they are changing it ????? :?

I actually like it the old way. Would be nice if mute disengaged automatically on volume up though.

Thanks,

can someone send me the 2.25 firmware

boonstra@home.nl

thanks

[Andrew Pratt]

I sent you the firmware. In future its easier if you send me an email requesting which version you need so I can just hit reply and attach the firmware.

[Trevor_J]

One thing I've noticed with 1.49. I have my DirecTV source set for DPLII Cinema as default. When I switch to this source it switches the surround mode accordingly. When I go to a station that is broadcasting in DD 5.1, the 1066 detects this and then switches to DD 5.1. If I leave the channel and go back to a non DD channel, the Rotel defaults to Stereo mode. As you can imagine, this is very annoying. Andrew, could you pass this info on to Rotel?

Thanks.

[Andrew Pratt]

I take it trevor that it behaved differently before?

[Trevor_J]

To be honest, I never really noticed it before to confirm that it was working and now it's not. I can only say that now it's not working as it should.

Hi Andrew,

First of all, I have not done any upgrades.

My 1066 will keep the surround setting set for that source. So when I go to another channel after watching a DD5.1, no matter the input signal (DD 2.0, PCM Stereo or Analog Stereo) it will default back to PLII Cinema.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Maziar

Makes me wonder if DVD's with stereo in their menus default back to stereo after playnig a portion of the movie...(if they were put in PLII first)

Hmm, I believe a test is in order tonight..

I notice the same behavior as you, Trevor_J. When changing channels from a Dolby Digital 5.1 source to any channel that is not digital, the source defaults to PCM stereo rather than the DPLII that I have previously chosen for my default. Then, if you are using the remote that comes with the 1066, you must cycle through all the DSP modes to get back to DPLII. This is annoying. I believe that I am using 1.48 software.

[Trevor_J]

I'm on version 1.49. I spent *VERY* little time on version 1.48 so the problem could have existed then but I never noticed it.

I agree with you %110, very annoying.

[Andrew Pratt]

I've sent this issue on the Rotel.

[justin]

I just got the new beta vevsion 2.25, but have not installed it yet. On to the muting does the mute button still display current firmware if held down! I think that it should. :?
