does the 40 percent work when you buy speakers. I bought the t1's and will be buying the t2's.

Do we know any way to control directly this future rmc-1? I didnt see any rs-232, hopefully we'll be able to control through network. Using IR to get to specific setting is cumbersome and does not allow request of status of any parameters. It would be really nice to be able to directly set the volume to 32 for example. There is no way to do this with ir.
Thank you

There is no way to do this with ir. Thank you Not sure what the problem is, I simply programmed the IR remote to turn on the processor and click the volume control once. This one button on the remote turns on the processor and sets the volume to zero. I then turn it up to the desired volume from there depending on the source and the material. I couldn't practically isolate one volume setting to start from for all of the inputs, they all vary so much. FTA mono TV is around 25, stereo TV around 33, Dolby digital is around 40, blu ray player is around 44 for Dolby True HD, multi channel SACD's vary from 30 to 45, stereo CD's are around 35 and vinyl is often 50 or more. Much easier to start from zero and then turn it up appropriately. Cheers Gary |

Much easier to start from zero and then turn it up appropriately. Cheers Gary Volume was an example. It's impossible to have a remote with a knob to directly set the volume. Its only possible to send volume + or - instead of being able to turn a knob half way and get instantly to 35 (if 70 is the max like th umc-1). I hate when the umc-1 boots and stays at zero instead of my usual 35 i have to press and slowly get to 35, sometimes it even lags while receiving the volume up signal.... Having direct acces to parameter allows better integrations with domotic. On the umc-1 remote i only have access to 8inputs but there are more, except you have to go with the next or previous input buttons. You can'T access them directly. you have to go through mode to change from dolby to stereo, with direct command going straight to stereo with a command would be great and allow better integration. Here is another example, you want to lower the volume fast, you don't want to mute it, just a quick turn to a lower value, let's say -25. Well with a direct command it's easy (if programmed well) and happens fast. Theres the status request, you can query the device and get information wether it did get the command or not and a lot more, if you are interested in integration, there is a lot to read, just get on favorite search engine and there you go. I never said there was a problem, I said "It would be nice". It might not be an interesting feature to you, but it's a feature that is seen on a lot of regular and flagship processors and it would be useful to me. Either rs-232 (old, but its still present on multiple 2018 processor) or ethernet (which I think is more adapted to modern world). p.s.with umc-1 you can set the gain of each input independantly (setting is called "input level") which would allow you to have the same ouput volume at let say 35, so you don't have to play with volume as much as you described between sources. You will still have diffrence between dd vs ddtrue hd out of the same source. Thanks, I did saw that as I have read everything I could find about the rmc-1 a couple of months ago. I might have forgotten some infos though, but I don't recall Emotiva saying that ethernet port was going to allow control through it. Did I miss anything -Thanks |

No, I don't think you've missed anything. I was assuming that the Ethernet is for control because Firmware upgrades are apparently going to be via USB (instead of over the net like Opposite) and that Ethernet wasn't going to be for streaming music (though they may have changed their minds by this point). So that left only control for the Ethernet. And Ethernet is certainly a better option that RS-232 these days.
By the way, on my ancient DMC-1, I have the option of a Default Power On Volume setting. Doesn't the UMC-1 also have that?

For completeness, from the XMC-1 spec's
Computer I/O
1 Ethernet port for control (RJ-45) for:
Firmware updates.
Compatible with Control4, RTI, URC, Crestron, etc.
Setup and control via PC/ Mac.
Dirac Live® GUI interface control via PC/Mac.
Firmware update via USB-A.
Cheers

I'm new to Emo though I've heard all about their punctuality in product release.
Assuming they don't make the announced end-of-March release, do they stay mum for awhile (how long?), issue a new ETA, or?

It’s hard to say, but my gut tells me they will announce something since they did a full blown press release giving a March delivery date. |

They typically wait until the deadline passes and then update later with a new 2-3 month timeframe.

Guys, you recognize I am joking right. I am not one of you waiting on the launch of the new processor and I honestly have not been following much that Emotiva has been putting out lately. Sorry if any of you took offence to what I posted tongue in cheek.
