Well thinking positively, about having to cover the screen, at least ya'all won't have to look at that mismatching teal green screen.

While it doesn't happen a lot my 93 and 103 have locked up on occasion as has my son's 103. Holding the remote power button for 10 seconds will force a shut down if it's become unresponsive. Try to go into settings on the oppo and change to energy efficient instead of quick start up in device setup. Spoke to an oppo tech and told him i was having a lot of lockups, and that is what he recommended. So far i have no more lockups. To be fair, I abuse them a lot more than the average home user. Live moving cable to different inputs, live plugging in different monitors. But I do have other much cheaper players that don't seem to crash when I do this sort of stuff.

Ive spoken to our engineers at Emotiva this morning. And I recieved a call back telling me They were able to recreate my problem i was experiencing. FF or volume changing that causes the xmc to shut down into powersaving off mode.
While on the phone we ran several tests. I tried to recreate to xmc shutdown problem. That last night i could create on demand,,,,,of course no such luck with support on the phone.
We servayed the differences between my cave a t night and during the day. Daylight coming through the window shining on my gear, at night blue LED rope lights and a lcd lightbulb. Both of these put out dirty noise im told and may account for my problem,,,,,,yes, maybe a reach, maybe not. Ive seen this problem with my TV and ERC-2 getting crossed with the signal coming fron the remote.

Thanks Skippy. More Details on my issue: Passthru mode High volume setting in xmc-1 for passthru sources How do you change the volume setting for HDMI passthrough? I cannot find this and my volume is super low on my TV when using the XMC-1 in standby. Sorry for the off topic question...

Sorry for the confusion but "Loudness Compensation" is the industry standard term for Fletcher-Munson frequency compensation. Dolby unfortunately chose to use"Loudness" in the name for their unrelated dynamic range compression scheme. Not much I can do about it. Isn't it actually named "Dolby Volume" by the Dolby?

Installed 3.1 Two days ago. The unit is now in its most "refined and stable" state since I purchased the XMC-1 one year ago this month. I had those square colored blocks and the flickering OSD that cleared up immediately. By far, the most important issue for me was the loss of the beginning of tracks on SOME compact discs. This problem was solved with 3.0, but it has been improved even more with the new 3.1.
STILL....I have not done the update on the back of the unit for playback of high res. files. (no need yet). My unit was one of those that came just before it was done at the factory.
Haven't run Dirac yet either, for a number of reasons. The first was to take plenty of time to utilize the very comprehensive manual room correction and really get that optimized, as I put much trust in my EARS!
Secondly, to let the smoke clear after windows 10 and make sure I only have to play around with that once.

Isn't it actually named "Dolby Volume" by the Dolby? No. Dolby Volume is something completely different from Dolby Loudness Management. Dolby Loudness Management is dynamic range compression algorithm that is built into Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD decoders. We are required to implement a minimum of 3 settings (including off) for this and to use their (confusing) naming convention. Dolby Volume is a completely separate product intended to replace simple Fletcher-Munson frequency vs level compensation with a much more complex algorithm. We do not currently offer Dolby Volume in the XMC-1. And, therefore, we do not need to pass along the cost of the additional licensing to y'all. We did offer Dolby Volume in a past product, the demand was somewhat underwhelming. -ray

I have been playing on FW 3.1 for a number of days now and I thought all was well. Until tonight, listening on my Oppo 95, in DSD Direct with a RCA Living Stereo SACD, and now when I turn on or turn off the TV the HDMI handshake gives me a thump again!!!!! I thought the thump was gone. It is not as loud as it used to be, but alarming anyway. Anybody else still experiencing that thump? I hope it gets corrected permanently and soon. God Bless, Wayne

"Well I take it back. I'm not sure how Dirac will work on certain speakers / setup. But on mine, it's noticeably better than not using it." I'm looking forward to finally getting around to running Dirac and comparing to "preset 1", that I have tweaked to the point that I'm afraid to touch it, sort of.
This summer, my "tweaking" had to go towards the new HVAC system in my house which is great now, but a nightmare all summer, waiting for the contractor to find the Freon leak in one of the brand new components. I was driven to distraction by it and finally now, getting back to the fun!
It should be interesting indeed, (the "DIRAC" sweep). My system is 5.1 only, but there are 28 drivers plus the sub. involved so, it should be an interesting experience.

FIRMWARE V3.1a HAS BEEN RELEASED (it will be available for download very shortly)
VERSION NOTE: In Firmware Version v3.1, a minor oversight on our part allowed random codes received by the XMC-1 from other (third party) remote controls to more or less randomly cause the XMC-1 to power down. (This was most noticeable when doing a lot of REWing, FFing, and PLAYing with a Tivo or cable box.) In a little while, version 3.1 will be replaced by version 3.1a on the website. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE between v3.1 and v3.1a is that this bug has been fixed.
Therefore....
Anyone who hasn’t updated from v2.0 or v3.0 yet should update to v3.1a . Anyone who has updated to v3.1, and whose XMC-1 is now shutting down at odd times when they use another remote control, should update to v3.1a . Anyone who updated to v3.1 and isn’t having any problems DOES NOT NEED TO UPDATE TO v3.1a (there are no other changes). Also note that, after the update, the firmware version will still show as "Firmware Version 3.1 15/10/12" in the Information screen. However, after the update, the front panel code version (on the next line) will show as "FP Version 1.4 15/10/20" - which is different.

At 7:50 PM Eastern time, only the update instruction zip file is available on the resource page even though the page shows the updated FW 3.1a file being available. Russ
