I finally received my new toys and got everything hooked up. WOW!!! What a difference they make on my 803s. First off thanks to everyone for answering all my questions earlier in the month. It really helped make the decision easy. I do have a few questions in regards to the 1098:
1. Is there anyway to customize the TFT display. It would be nice to see the volume text a tad bigger or maybe re-arrange the menu screen or even make up new quick menu screens. Just a wish I guess.
2. My Firmware is 1.0.0.03xxx. I hope the dealer didn't hose me on a really old unit here. I here most people are up to .18 or .16?
2a. Should I upgrade it to 2.x?
2b. Do I need a new EPROM to support 2.x?
2c. Can I revert back to my old Firmware if for somereason the upgrade fails?
2d. Can I leave the upgrade switch in the on position all the time. My unit fits into a rack and it's a bit cumbersome to pull it all out and work on the back of it. Right now, I have the cable plugged in and put in a position where I can pull it out for easy access.
3. Is there any way to output Digital Audio signals to Zone 2?
4. When I'm in the Display Menu and select "Yes" for progressive scan it seems to save it for all my other inputs as well. Is there anyway I can just set it individually per input?
5. When I turn my TFT off, it temporally turns on when I adjust the volume and then turns off. Anyway to permanently turn it off? The noise of the relays can get annoying.
6. Any way to get into the Input menu quickly?
7. I know a lot of you are B&W owners as well. With the 1098 and the 1095 and the B&W 803's what SUB would you suggest. My room is 14x18 with 18' ceilings. I currently have a Vandersteen 2wq. The setup is a bit funky. I have to hook the SUB in parallel with my L & R channels. I loose all the Bass management on the 1098 by not using the LFE. I would like to take advantage of a SUB that can do that and exploit the real potential of the 1098.
I apologize for the long message. I started writing and kept coming up with more questions. Thanks for your help in advance and look forward to helping out the forum.
Sincerely,
Erich
