    Rotel...Please help???

    Hi everyone,

    I just bought an rmb1066 amp, and I am using my current AVR2802 as the processor. It gets bower from a 12v trigger when I turn on my power center. The rotel powers on and the sensor turns red. However, no sound is output. I have the front left and right preouts going to the l and r inputs of channel A on the amp. Speaker wire is ran from the amp to my existing speakers (Vienna Acoustics). I even tried the amp in a bridged configuraton and got the same result- no sound. When I run my speakers of my Denon the speakers come to life. Is it possible the amp could be stuck in standby? When I ran it in stereo I made sure I switched the dial for channel to stereo configuration. When bridged I used only the left inputs as the manual says and used the corrresponding speaker connections. Again, I made sure I switched the dial to bridged. I made all connectioons with my system off. The protection lights never came on at any time to indicate a problem.

    I would greatly appreciate any input and help. If you need more info to help me better..just ask. Thanks a lot.

    Pete

    Have you tried this? - On many receivers you have to deselect the "A" or "B" speaker function so neither of the front channels for the receiver receive any power...this engages the pre-outs.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply I will try it. I never thought of that. This is sort of my birthday present to myself, so as you can imagine I cannot wait to get it working right. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.

    I heard from Rotel tech support today and the problem was the 12v trigger. Apparently it was not receiveing a full 12v and the amp was sitting in standby the entire time. It seems silly to have a trigger that does not do its job. Otherwise I love the amp. It is more crisp than my denon, better vocals and just a bigger sound.
