Hello,
Last night, I notice that the left channel of the RB-1080 had no sound.
I had this issue before earlier in the year. Rotel told me to check the fuse of the left channel. It was blown,and I replace the fuse. It fix the problem.

This time I checked the fuse, it was not blown. But I change it anyway. This time it did not fix the problem.

I did a minor trouble shooting pinpoint where the issue is. It is not my amp, it is not my speakers. I swap the left and right input coming from my amp. The results leads me to conclude that it is the RB-1080.

any idea, what might be the issue.
Is there a way to reset the RB-1080?

Thanks and Happy new year to everybody

mannn, this amp is heavy, shipping it back to rotel for repair will be a pain

    Did you swap the L/R going "into" the 1080 from the preamp?

    Yes, I did swap the left and right channel. This is how I came to the conclusion that it can be the RB-1080

    Could be anything really. If you are sure you have swapped the inputs and then swapped the speakers and that the fuse is fine, then it should be looked at by a pro. Sorry.

    Agreed, and hopefully they have a dealer network or some local shops that can work repairs for you.

    I beleive the RB-1080 has two fuses per channel - check them both.
