XMC-1 Firmware v3.1 is now available
(You can download Firmware Version 3.1 from the Resources tab on the XMC-1 product page.)
New Features:
1) We added an option to increase the default audio gain for the secondary output. When you set this option to High, it boosts the level of the audio you get from Zone 2, Mix Out, Digital Out,
and the passthrough audio for the Video Remains On Standby option ( Setup | Preferences | Secondary Volume; choices are NORMAL and HIGH).
(NOTE: This was added in response to several requests for more volume in this mode; if you set it to High, you may experience some clipping with very loud content.)
2) The Status Display can now be set to show the normal full three-line display, or one of several large single-line displays. This will absolutely let you see your Volume Setting, or what Input you have selected, from across the room.
( Setup | Preferences | Status Display; choices are FULL STATUS, INPUT, SURROUND MODE, VOLUME, and BITSTREAM).
3) When you are in Video Remains On Standby (high-power standby) you can turn the XMC-1 fully off by pressing and holding the Standby button for several seconds - like a computer.
(This works for both the Front Panel Standby button and the button on the remote control.)
Improved Functionality:
1) Mode changes from Main Zone Menu now occur more quickly.
2) We added Dolby EX as an option for Surround Sound content.
3) We made some code changes to improve the reliability/functionality of DHCP.
4) Configuration backups are now in human-readable XML format.
(NOTE: This is for diagnostic and remote control purposes - we DO NOT recommend trying to edit your config files.)
5) Removed some unnecessary confirmations when switching to Reference Stereo Mode (if your front speakers are set to Large).
6) Dolby Loudness management now has three separate settings.
7) We made some protocol changes to improve security.
Bug Fixes:
Several minor bugs were fixed (based on our testing and user input), including:
1) Fixed thump when going from DSD to various other modes and switching between DSD tracks with some players.
2) Fixed OSD flicker on some monitors when Front Panel Display Brightness is set to 0.
3) Fixed colored blocks appearing on OSD on some displays during bootup.
4) Fixed clock-rate errors on audio from the digital output that occurred under certain conditions.
5) Fixed a few minor errors in the remote control codes (as provided for use by custom installers).
(We'll be putting the full set of (corrected) codes up shortly.)
