RSP 1098 TFT Stretches 4:3
Some of my DVDs are 4:3. However, whatever I do, the 1098's TFT display stretches this material the full width of the display. I do, however, get a proper 4:3 ratio from my monitor when I take the composite signal that is feeding the TFT and use it to feed the monitor. Is this something lacking in the 1098, or am I doing something wrong? Can others get a proper 4:3 aspect ratrio on the RSP 1098's TFT screen?

I think that is probably normal. You can not expect too much from that little TFT. I mean, it is probably used mainly for on screen display from most people. I have not played around with the TFT too much, but does it say in the owners manual that you can change the TFT format? -
Are you watching DVD's on the TFT?? As far as I know you can't change the aspect, it's going to stretch everything. But for what its worth, does it really matter?
Technically you can buy a Rotel 1040 or 1050 DVD player. It has the ability to send 4x3 DVD's out as 4x3 with black bars on the sides..

not watching
I am not watching the DVDs on the 1098, just curious that it stretches 4:3. My Sony 9000ES player sends 4:3 out to my main display with black bars on the side just fine. I am surprised that a signal that the main display gets right is stretched by the TFT. If this is how it is, fine, it is not really a big deal. I just wonder if I am doing something wrong.Comment

I just purchased a RSP-1098 and discovered to my dismay, that my DVD player (Sony DVPNS999ES) only outputs to one video connection at a time, i.e. if cables are attached to the component video out (to the monitor) and composite video out (to the RSP), the 999ES defaults to the component only. The other... -
Anyone know of a good TFT screen to hookup to RSP-1068 (similar to the panel which is built into 1098) to access OSD and make audio adjustments a lot easier. I am thinking it will have to be connected via S-video. You can tell I do not have the video aspect of the a/v incorporated in the mix at this... -
Hi,
This is my attempt at a V2.0 Wish list of enhancements for the Rotel RSP 1098
This updated list is based on feedback on the V1.0 list published in a separate thread within this forum and a second consolidated view of all the other threads I can find in this and several other... -
So the last 2 days I have been listening intensively to the RSP 1098 and my “old” Denon AVC A1SE+ which is more known as AVR 5800+ (with upgrade) in the US.
This comparison does only represent personal view of both units side by side. However I thought it might be interesting to let you guys... -
Hi,
As a long time lurker and “newbe” member of this forum I thought I’d start a service of managing a list of suggested upgrades to the RSP 1098. Thanks to all the helpful advice from this forum I have my order in for a 1098 of my own (waiting on the DTS-ES issue being fixed)....
