RSX 1055 Channel cutting out with pre outs

[Jsapp]

I recently added an external Parasound HCA 1203 amp for my front 3 chs. I am having an intemittent issue with the left channle sound cutting in and out (like I have a bad connection). This seems to only happen in 2 ch listening (such as lisytening to CDs on my DVD player though the optical connection or a 2ch Digital signal through coax connection from y cable box).

I AM sure it is not the amplifier becuse I swapped the connections so that the interconnect from the Rotal was switched to the center or left channel on the amp and it still cuts out. I have not been able to duplicate the issue with the internal amps in the 1055 so I'm thinking nit is something in the preouts.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like bad pre-outs to me. I'd take it back to the dealer for them to test and/or exchange unless someone else has a brainstorm...?

It sounds like you have done the trouble shootin',if the ic does the same thing when plugged into any amp inputs and you changed the ic its prolly the preout.

Update:

I can make the problem go away if I turn the power on and off on the 1055 does this still sound like a preout issue or is it something internal?

That is strange :? At the very least it's still an "issue". I'd be e-mailing Rotel and see what their thoughts are on it. Then go from there.

Just a quick thought, I would reload the lastest software upgrade and see if the problem still persists.

Called my Dealer (very supportive)

They are going to call the Rotel rep. They think they may have seen something like this where a reset cured it. I sure hope so. Don't like the idea of shipping my Rotel off for service.

[Azeke]

Well, if that's the case that would certainly eliminate the software issue.

Good Luck and keep up posted,

(I had to reregister after the new board but I DID start this thread way baCK WHEN).

So I did 2 restes back to factory default and still had the same problem.

I was getting frustrated with this so I deceided to try to takle the ground loop issue I was having. I unplugged basically every cable and wire, removed and tightened every connector I could etc etc. Somewhere in all this I appear to have fixed the issue. I've left the system playing for hours at a time now tih no cutting out. Don't know if I had a poor connection somewhere. soemthing shorting out etc etc. All I know is its fixed.
