Some feature requests

ROSE Products RS520
#1

Hello,

I got my RS520 just a few days ago and so far, it works flawlessly in combination with my Samsung GQ75QN95A TV an my Focal Sopra No 2 speakers. However, even after this short time of user experience I have some feature requests.

  1. When using my TV via HDMI eARC, I prefer to deactivate the display. Would it be possible that the volume setting eppears on the deactivated display, when changing the volume via remote?

  2. I would love to see an option to activate/deactivate the diplay via remote. Would it be possible to add this feature by pressing a certain button on the remote for a longer time? In addition, I would like to see a similar function for the VU meter.

  3. A screenshot function would sometimes be very helpfull.

That’s it for now. Thank you so far.

Regards from Germany,

Thorsten

Hi guys,

I found out that it is allready possible to activate the VU meter via remote control when the respective settings for the VU meter are activated. Just press the down arrow button on the remote followed by the up arrow button and the OK button. Then, the last VU meter will be displayed.

I often watch TV while sound is played via HDMI over my RS520. In these situations, I prefer to deactivate the display, because it distracts me somehow from watching TV.

I would really like to see the following features when the display is deactivated:

  1. Reactivate the display by a simple touch on it for a predefined period of time (e.g. 1 to 10 seconds).
  2. Reactivate the display when changing the volume by remote control for the predefinied period of time.

Currently, the display is automatically reactivated when I switch off my TV. Unfortunately, the RS520 then is not brought into standby mode although this should happen (this only works when the display is on). Hence, there seems to be a software bug that hinders the RS520 from beeing switched into standby mode when its diplay is deactived and the TV is shut off.

RS520 supports eARC, allowing power interlock when connected to a TV via eARC. Volume is interlocked by default, and if you turn on the corresponding setting, power will also be interlocked.

(RS520 > IN/OUT Settings > Input menu > eARC power interlock)

I did not write that the RS520 does not support eARC. I wrote that there occur problems between my Samsung TV and the RS520 when the TV is set to eARC mode, which do not occur when it is set to conventional ARC mode (Anynet+ with HDMI-CEC).

And as I mention, with both eARC and ARC the Auto Power Off function does not work properly when the display of the RS 520 is off. It only works as expected when the display is on.

Just make a short test. Connect your TV via HDMI with the RS 520. Switch both devices on. Then turn off the LCD of the RS520 via App. Now switch off the TV. What happens?
