    Rotel 1068 bug??

    I am having an issue with my new Rotel 1068 on initial power up. Using a macro sequence to power up the TV, Proc, and Cable box (in that order), I get sound, but no video from the Cable input. Cycling to any other input then back to Cable fixes the problem. It's a Motorola HDTV box, component vid connections from box to Rotel, and Rotel to display. F/W version is 1.1.6 (haven't got around to trying the upgrade yet...). Saw this in the release notes... "Corrected a bug causing no progressive video passthrough on initial powerup when OSD is set to off."

    Could this be the problem? OSD is set to off in the Rotel setup, should I enable it to fix the problem? Or should I just upgrade the f/w?

      Well I'd start by upgrading the FW but you may also want to try starting the cable box first so the 1068 has a signal to lock on to.

          If you're outputting through the component video outputs into a high-def TV, I had the same problem. Upgrading firmware to v.1.17 cures this problem.

              RotelNewbie,

              The 1.1.7 firmware upgrade fixes the exact problem you're having with component video input.

              By the way, with a Motorola DCT5000 or DCT6000 series HDTV cable box (I've got one too), there is no power savings by turning the cable box off. Actually it just goes into a mode that switches off the channel display and video output, but the internals are running at full power. Since the Moto HDTV box does not have discrete power on/off commands (only a power toggle), you will simplify your remote control macro by just leaving the cable box on all the time.

                  Bostonears, thanks for the advice. I wondered why the box was always so darn warm! I'll do the f/w upgrade and also leave the cable box on. Thx all!

                      1068 and Rotel problems
                      by Steve_the_Hokie
                      I bought a 1068 used that was only a month old. The original owner thought it was too difficult for some of the family members to operate, which I didn't really find to be true at all. Anyway, I had the unit sitting around the house for a month in the box while I was deciding what 5-channel amplifier...

                      RSP 1068 not passing HDTV
                      by Nolan B
                      There is a clear issue with my 1068. I have my cable box hooked up via component to my 1068. When on HiDef channels the picure blacks out every 30 seconds or so.

                      An obvious fix would be to plug my cable right into my TV, but if I do there I wont be able to access my OSD from the rotel...

                      Rotel 1068 Initial impressions vs. Lexicon DC-1
                      by spkerguy
                      Hello everyone,

                      I just hooked the 1068 up last Friday and probably have spent a good 10 hours with it so far. The unit I was coming from was a lexicon DC-1 (latest V4. 1999) that had the center channel and sub inputs blown so getting the center and sub back was refreshing. ...
