Hi everyone, I had an Onkyo PR-SC885 that was water damaged when a pipe burst and I'm now shopping for a replacement pre/pro and 5 channel amp. My HT is a not-fancy but dedicated room in the basement..the amps were a 5 channel and a 2 channel Rotel, the 5 channel was also damaged...

...an affordable pre/pro with HDMI switching and room correction like AFFORDABLE receivers from Yamaha and Denon... What am I not understanding? I have a Rotel RSP-1066 and I sick of waiting for a replacement that I can afford with the features that I want. I was looking at a Denon 2807...

Has anyone tried the new Samsung DVD players that upconvert to HD? The HD941 seems to have an awful lot of features for the money..$250.00 on E-tronics....

Looking for a single disc DVD with HDMI and ability to play DVD-A and SACD. Only one I have found for a reasonable price so far is the Toshiba SD-5970... Any recommendations...

I have sent an e-mail to Rotel/Equity. I'm curious what they have to say...

It has happened again...Fifth Element DVD during Chapter 4, 13m23s, there is a massive white on-screen explosion, not dissimilar to the muzzle flash in X-Men. Again, the Rotel causes a distortion that can be removed only when I bypass the Rotel. This is starting to get ridiculous...I cannot live...

I should add that this is particularily frustrating for me because I spent a long time (and a ton of money) on the decision to go with seperates. I expect my 1066 to exceed a comparably priced receiver in all aspects of audio/video performance. Isn't that the whole point of seperates - increased...

Yeah, I think the problem is native only to the 1066. Two different 1066's in two different HT's cannot be a coincidence. John
