    1098 & DTS 96/24: positively a bug!

    Hi,
    i've already posted a message in the past days about the 1098 & DTS 96/24 decoding. Now, after many tests on diff'rent 1098 units, i can assume that there's a bug.
    If you set the back surround channel to OFF, then ANY DTS 96/24 program (even if not ES) will be decoded as DTS 96/16 bit, losing the 24 bit decoding.
    It seems something very simple to fix for Rotel with a new firmware, but i don't know how to reach the "high quarters" to notify this bug.
    Maybe someone in this forum can help .....
    All the best and always sorry for my bad english,

    Luigi

        Keep us posted with what you and the Tech guys find out. I know they've tried to replicate the issue with the Queen DVD and it works fine so your findings will be of interest to us all.

          OK, here's the latest news: it seems that a "bug" is present but nont on the 1098 himself but ... in the manual!
          In DTS 96/24 the display says DTS 96, but the manual says it should say DTS 96/24.
          The tech guys at Rotel tell me that their units too show a "simple" DTS 96, so i have to think that this is normal and the manual is wrong.
          I'll keep you posted with other news.
          Thanks again for your help, all of you,

          Luigi

            DTS Bug
            by m.w.coater
            I have just had my 1098 for about 3 weeks and have not tried to play a DTS DVD to check on the trouble you have. But I have tried to use DTS neo-6 to compair it to PL-II with everyday digital cable and HD cable and it will not work with the SPDIF (Coax) from the cable box. It will if the signel is from...

            1098 and DTS 96/24 bug?
            by Locutus2k
            Hi!
            I'm a new proud owner of the Rotel 1098 and i'm very happy with it. The only strange thing i've noticed (a bug, maybe?) is with DTS ES 96/24 decoding. If i set back surround channel off, using the rotel in a simply 5.1 configuration, DTS ES 96/24 soundtracks appears to be decoded as "simply"...

            1098, 1068,1067, & 1056 owners, need you to test a bug.
            by Kevin D
            I've found a DTS bug on a 1068 I was installing the other day. I recreated it on our store 1068, and even my home 1098. Rotel is looking into it, but I'm not sure how seriously. As people have time, if you could do a test for me I would appreciate it.

            Play something in DTS. DTS music...
