Yeah they are pretty expensive for that kind of cable. 😊 I will see if the guy I know can create it for me, if not this will be the solution. Thanks 👍 |

Amazingly fast mode switching now with firmware 1.10. It now changes in less or about 1 second. Also input switching is ALOT faster! IMO as fast as any other AVR/AVP.. Great work Emotiva! Menu’s, although faster, is still slower than the competition. Probably due to live update.. Alot better though. Acceptable speed but faster still wouldn’t hurt. Without removing live update I don’t think any major speed increase is possible. That’s not an option though.. I have had the whole RMC-1 lockup while showing a friend the PEQ menu. Also problem with locking on to sound and picture with my SAT box, which IMO was a little better in previous versions. I have a Sony 65ZD9 TV. This in both low and high power mode. In Video Remains On standby mode I have mostly got a black screen with no sound. Just to start RMC and get picture and sound, sometimes no sound. Yes, I have set the standby input to the correct one! When I use my projector RMC-1 looses sync 1-2 times almost every time I use it now. Just to resync in 2-3 secs and be fine for several hours. This I actually got in 1.8/1.9 already. 1.7 did not have this behaviour. I STILL want the info window to have a ”stay on screen” and time setting PLEASE Emotiva. I want to view it until I press it away, like any other device I have or have owned. Agreed that we need options for the Info OSD window. As an example, when I’m using my PC input browsing a webpage, the Info window pops up every time there’s an ad with video/sound... extremely annoying. A menu option for the Info window to only pop up with a remote control button press would be preferable in my use case. |

I would also like to see an option for how long to display the info screen. But in the grand scheme of things that's a pretty minor detail for me.

When the OSD is set to ALL, then anytime there is a change detected there is a OSD Popup. When changed to USER, then the OSD only pops up when a remote button is pressed.

geebo I’m moving to the proper thread and after your help and a couple other posts I’ve read I decided to recheck my settings and CEC was set on, It must have been done when I reset my settings using the “Reset” button. I didn’t realize this had happened, I will be thrilled if this fixes the problem. Only time will tell. Thank to everyone that has posted about these settings.

Will we ever see an increase in the output for the RMC-1? I've come from the Marantz AV8801 pre-amp that feeds active studio monitors via balanced XLR. Using the Marantz I could have loud listening levels at 40-45, 50 being half volume. I’m finding the RMC-1 needs to be at 75% - 85%.

We have no specific plans to change the output levels on the RMC-1... although they will be slightly different depending on the level of the input signal and certain trim settings.
As long as you are able to set the output level you want it simply does not matter whether the dial reads "40" or "80" when you do so.
"50" is NOT "half volume"..... it simply corresponds to whatever arbitrary gain level the designers have chosen for it to correspond with. (A simple setting of "50" is totally arbitrary... while a setting of "-50 dB" is a specific proportion of whatever "0 dB reference level" has been chosen...)

I’m messing around with my PC and RMC-1 and I’m trying to understand how to set them up using MC JRiver 24. I see the setting under setup as USB but there’s an option for UAC2. What is it? The last line from the manual says it will accept USB audio up”
“USB Audio UAC2
By default , the USB Stream Input on the RMC-1 operates as a USB Audio Class 1 device. This enables it to accept USB audio at sample rates up to 24/96k from most devices, including most phones, and most computers, without requiring the user to install extra drivers. By enabling USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) operation, the USB Stream Input will accept “USB audio up” what is USB audio up?”

I'm just a little concerned that I might start getting into clipping at 75-80%. I used a Klark Teknik gate/expander with a Rotel, (used just the expander and it's XLR in and out), that had the same issue and thinking I might go the same route. By the way, the RMC-1 sounds far better than the Marantz and haven't had my Oppo to try just yet. It's getting yet another modification. My Oppo gets more frequent flyer points than me! Congrats on the RMC-1 by the way and can't wait to see what you have in stall for it down the road. |

With older analog gear, there was often an increase of distortion near the top of the Volume control range, because of the distortion curve of the circuitry itself... And, with a lot of older equipment, because there was a lot of excess gain, it was often quite possible to cause distortion and clipping long before the control was all the way up... However, in most cases, the reason this occurred was that the output level actually exceeded the capabilities of the circuitry handling the signal.
The RMC-1 can deliver an output level well over 4V before clipping... which is more than enough to drive almost any consumer amplifier well past full power. And, until you actually exceed this level, its distortion will remain very low. (So it's really unlikely that you'll get your RMC-1 to clip or distort before its output level is high enough to drive your amp to full power.)
So don't worry about it...  We have no specific plans to change the output levels on the RMC-1... although they will be slightly different depending on the level of the input signal and certain trim settings.
As long as you are able to set the output level you want it simply does not matter whether the dial reads "40" or "80" when you do so.

I knew at the time I was being pedantic, but thankfully it seems someone else needs the manual to say the correct thing! emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/56788/march-2020-manual-errata-minor |
