Can I upgrade the software on my surround receiver or processor to HDMI 1.4?
Rotel models that originally supported HDMI 1.3 such as the RSX-1550, RSX-1560 and RSP-1570 can now be upgraded to the latest software to support 3D video passthrough, thus making them HDMI 1.4 compliant.
Unfortunately, the hardware and software on older HDMI 1.1 models such as the RSX-1057, RSX-1058 and RSP-1069 cannot be updated to support HDMI 1.3 or 1.4.

RSP-1069 | RSP-1098 | RSP-1570 | RSP-1572 | RSX-1057 | RSX-1058 | RSX-1550 | RSX-1560 | RSX-1562
Can I use another software program to manage my music instead of Windows Media Player?
The RDG-1520, RCX-1500, RT-09 and RT-12 will recognize any third party UPnP program however we cannot offer support for these programs.
Applicable Models:
RCX-1500 | RDG-1520 | RT-09 | RT-12
Can I use my Mac computer to update the software on my Rotel?
Yes, but only if you install Windows OS on the Mac with software programs such as "Boot Camp." You should ask your authorized dealer however, to perform any software upgrades unless you are very experienced with doing this type of work.

Turn on your computer, launch the Windows Media Player application, select "LIBRARY", followed by "Media Sharing" and select "Share My Media" to the Rotel Gateway.
