    RSX-1055 V1 versus V2

    If buying used would there be any major differences between the V.1 or V.2 RSX-1055? Any major changes that make one a better investment over the other? Thanx

    Hi Soundhound!

    I assume when you mean V1 and V2 you mean 1055 vs 1056 ?

    If that's the case....I would go for the 1056...

    It has the new processor....and it is sonically sweet..er....

    It upconverts S video to component....

    It has more video in and outs than the 1056...

    The menu has some sweeter stuff to it compared to the 1055....(this is from owners that have the 1055 and saw the menu on the 1056)

    So all and all....1056 is the one....

    Got a nice rack to show me ?

      Actually Bam there were earlier versions of the 1055 released with software versions 1.xxx and all the later versions were 2.xxx. I think the only major difference was that on some of the early 1.xxx versions they had the old video card that couldn't pass through full HD resolutions. If you're looking at one of the 1.xxx versions get the serial number and email it to Rotel. They'll be able to tell you if it has the old video card or any other differences. What price range are they falling in to?

        Yeah, the early versions did not pass HD. If you have one of those I think that you can get them upgraded by Rotel for a small fee.

            Hello,

            Last week i tried out the RSX1055. I can tell you all that i was very impressed, but now i am doubting if i should go for the 1055 or the 1056.
            The following things could be important for me.

            Equalizing each channel apart. (speakers are not off one brand)...

            I have an older RSX1055 with original version of firmware. Recently hooked up two CB speakers and utilized the redirect feature in the on display menu. Initially the RSX1055 would reset the redirect back to front speakers. :cry: I called Rotel and was told to update the firmware. :roll: Then I called...

            1055/1056 Video Switching
            by sylvain
            Hi,

            I spent a lot of time listening to NAD and Rotel receivers in the store and decided to go for the cheaper NAD T753.

            Unfortunately, I am having a lot of problem with the video switching abilities of the receiver. There is a strong red push (10-15% measured with the Avia...

            I just completed my Cobalt S set of loudspeakers with a JM LAB Cobalt SW 27A subwoofer (secondhand) and had the help of an experienced friend to calibrate it.

            I have an RSX 1056 and when he saw the OSD menu, he told me that I was using an old firmware and that updating it will help to...
