In my setup of the 1066, I noticed that there is a setup area that sets the delay (in MS) to each speaker. Does anyone know an easy way of setting them correctly? Any info would be appreciated!

1ms is roughly equal to 1 foot. So start with your mains at zero and calculate the additional delay needed for your other speakers based on how much closer they are. For instance if your center channel is 1 foot closer than your mains, set the delay at 1ms.

The manual explains it step-by-step in the 'Delay Settings' section.

My rule of thumb is that if it cost over $1000, I'm going to figure out how every feature works, which means reading the manual.
Could you go over the issues with bass management again? :LOL:

Manual? There was a manual included with the 1066, no way
Thanks Jeff for the answer, does that mean one foot closer to your ears in the "kings" seat? and the same thing goes with the surrounds, measuer the distance from the "kings" seat to the speakers and adjust accordingly?
Thanks,

Yeah, you can really only dial-in the exact delay settings for one seating position, so it might as well be yours.Thanks Jeff for the answer, does that mean one foot closer to your ears in the "kings" seat? and the same thing goes with the surrounds, measuer the distance from the "kings" seat to the speakers and adjust accordingly?

What happens if your center spk is 2 ft behind your mains like mine?Originally posted by JKohnComment

DK,
It still depends on how far apart your mains are. Take a tape measure and measure from your seating position to your front left. Now measure from seating to center. For every foot your center is away more than your front add 1ms..
Chances are if your center is 2 feet closer to the wall than your fronts, the actual distance difference from where you sit will be about the same so no delay is needed.

I'm helping out a friend with a 1066. I went to calibrate and set the speaker distances and noticed it only offers 5-15ms (I think) in the delays menu. Can someone explain how this works or equates to actual speaker distance. Is it just 1ft = 1ms or is there something else to it.

Alrighty then my long awaited Rotel RSP-1066 has arrvied and is now installed in my gear rack. I'll preface this review thread by saying that before the rotel 1066 I've owned a Rotel DD/DTS pre amp, HK receiver, Sony DB930, Denon 2800, Denon 3300 and lastly the Sony TA-E9000ES. In each case these were... -

I have a couple of questions for the group out there:
I notice the RSP-1066 seems to have two subwoofer settings - you can adjust the sub setting in the test tone screen and also you can adjust it in the subwoofer setting screen. Are these two screens interactive - if you adjust the sub... -
The Rotel web site is updated to include the 1066 replacement, the 1068. They also have the 1068 manual online. Having both 1098 and 1066 inhouse (wished the 1068 was here), I compared features, sound and the manuals for the 1098 to the 1068 to the 1066; here are the differences: Note I own the 1066...
