I have the Rotel 1066 that I use for my HT and for zone 2 audio. The problem is when I play a cd it sounds horrible in my other rooms (zone 2)! But other cd's sound ok, as does, am/fm, and TV. I am thinking that it may just be because of the wider frequency range and increased bass on my cd's. On the rotel 1066 we only have bass management for digital signals, but for zone 2 you can only use an analog signal. Is my problem a bass management problem on the Rotel 1066 or would it be something else?

If my memory serves me right, there is no BM on the Zone2 pre-outs as this is a full frequency output. Also, only analog source inputs can be sent to the Zone2 pre-outs so any digital only devices connected to your 1066 will be available via Zone-2 out. Also don't forget that the Zone-2 out has a fixed and variable output. Factory default is variable out w/volume control from the 1066. If you're using an integrated amp w/volume control in your second room, then you may be sending too strong of a signal to your second amp and it is suggested that you set the 1066 Zone-2 out to fixed.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to use the volume control for zone 2 of my 1066 processor.
Here is my question. I currently have a remote transmitter (those little (RCA) pyramids). In my second zone (my garage) I had previously been able to just aim my "previous systems reciever" remote (a Denon 3805)... -
The functions of the RSP-1066 are still the same as stated in my Bass management report.
The only difference is the ability to turn the Sub level to off for the different modes (Stereo, multi, dts, dd, etc.) with 1.48 (2.24) and above.
The multi-channel input is still the... -
