If other apps on same TV succesfully do atmos, Netflix must same. On the same TV, only netflix does not. With soundbar, yes, Netflix do Atmos, no problem. Denon AVR, yes, no problem. Of course, same tv, same condition. Under same condition, Emotiva isn't. That drives me crazy. Of course I report it to Emotiva years ago. And I asked here year ago. The answer or suggestion from users here at that time was that don't use ARC, don't use tv apps, something like this nuance. I don't buy that because that was worthless answers. So it's a Netflix App on the LG tv that you want to get operating in ATMOS through the Emotiva processor, correct? The Emotiva processor is not eARC compatible yet, so maybe this has something to do with it, dunno, just a thought. With my Sony tv I have to disable the "eARC Auto" setting and set that to Off to make ARC work. Also, the last Sony tv firmware update caused ARC to cease to function entirely. I tried everything we all know about for two days, but everything failed. Then I decided to check the CEC Loopback Test to check if CEC was even working internally, because it wasn't working at all that I could find. So I put the processor into Test Mode and ARC started working right away. So this was just my tv apps that I was trying to get working over ARC, and after initiating the Test Mode it started working. I'll check this tonight if I can. eARC is avaliable on LG TV but it's not for Emotiva, I know. Anyway I tested both (enabled and disabled), same result. But all basic fetures about ARC working. I have no problem with ARC at all since firmware 2.3. It was like this with my other LG TV, too. I brought this issue on surfice again because new TV with Emotiva has same problem. Only Netflix app. But frankly, it is not TV nor app. They works perfect Atmos(not only Netflix, but all other apps include tidal, I just tested it. Tidal stream dolby atmos music through LG TV app) with other receiver, processor, soundbar. I tested with other devices which I have, and also from friends. Only Emotiva can't. RMC-1 and XMC-2 probably same. |

But frankly, it is not TV nor app. They works perfect Atmos(only for Netflix) with other receiver, processor, soundbar. I tested with other devices of mine, from friends. Only Emotiva can't. RMC-1 and XMC-2 probably same. I had the same issue with Netflix on my LG CX with my RMC-1L. I had Atmos on all other apps except Netflix. Since I have other streaming boxes, I just gave up and used those. ARC, itself, was performing flawlessly (and was surprisingly reliable) between my CX and RMC-1L in all other ways. Since I didn't really need them, I deleted almost all of the streaming apps (including Netflix) off of the CX and just went with the outboard streamers. I did keep Disney+ onboard for testing purposes only. For other reasons, I now have my AV8805 back in my system and have since purchased a Zidoo Z10 Pro and have reinstalled all of the apps I use regularly back on my CX. My long term " consolidation" plan is to keep the Zidoo for personal media playback while "streaming" directly from the TV's apps. Now, I don't know if it's a matter of swapping the AV8805 back in as a replacement for the RMC-1L or removing and reinstalling the Netflix app, but Atmos from Netflix is now working. So, if you haven't already tried this, delete the Netflix app from your C1, make all of the necessary ARC settings on your TV (having turned off eARC) and make sure all of your other apps are sending Atmos. Then reinstall the Netflix app and see what happens. Like I said, I don't know what worked for me (and I suppose it could have been as simple as a new HDMI "hot plug" event), but I don't see why Netflix can send Atmos to an 8805, but not the RMC-1L. Especially when all of the other apps can. All Netflix needs to see is an "Atmos enabled" flag in the combined EDID and all systems "should" be a go...  |

I gave up with ARC (even long before I got my RMC-1) and use a Nvidia Shield TV. All Apps run with Atmos, and no longer bothering with ARC (I hate it).
Have not even tried with my new 77G1 OLED.
And I'm not sure, that the upcoming HDMI 2.1 Board will really Fix all Issues with eARC, because it's still not a standard.

HDMI1 out goes to TV HDMI2 out goes to PJ It won’t output to TV unless the PJ is on, so I have to unplug HDMI2 out How do I get it to work so that I don’t have to unplug cables Shouldn’t these be connected vice versa? Either way the TV should be on the main (ARC) output of the processor To get these to play together you probably also need to make some changes to the settings of the TV and projector. You’ll probably need to turn off ARC, CEC and any kind of stay alive while on standby feature Note that CEC is called different names depending on brand. You also need some luck.. If you’re unlucky one of your display devices never stops chatting on the HDMI channel while on standby. Disturbing the other from taking control. |

This would indicate that the Netflix app does something with the stream that is unknown to Emotiva which works on all other devices. Or while using Netflix the HDMI sync fails to report Atmos capable from Emotiva processor. Either way this probably needs fixing from Emotiva. |

I'm curious about the newly announced 13.2 processor and what it will inherit from its bigger siblings. It seems like a very good deal at $999. It sounded like it will be called MC-1 from the podcast. Will it use the DACS from the XMC-1? I was planning on waiting for its release, but ended up with the XMC-2 instead.  |

My guess is that it won’t inherit anything from its XMC/RMC siblings as it will likely be an outsourced variant of the ToneWinner AT-300. The AT-300 does use an Analog Devices DSP, but not sure it’s a Griffin Lite. That’s not to say that Emotiva didn’t have some input, but the basic platform will most likely remain the same. But with everything I’ve read over on AVS Forum about the AT-300, and since Emotiva will price it even lower (at $999), this will certainly be a BIG contender… EDIT: On second thought, since it’s in the BasX line, I’ll also bet that it will not have balanced outputs like the AT-300. Probably why it’s $400 cheaper than the AT-300… 🤔 |

And I use only ARC, not eARC because RMC-1 is not compatible with eARC "yet". Your last word, this needs fixing from Emotiva, it is absolutly correct. Since I report this years ago, they should just connect any LG tv which has netflix certified, and very easy to find this problem rightaway. But still no fixing since firmware 1.x. On the other hand, I contact LG service and ask this problem, all their answer was that it works with receivers which they have for test. But they don't have Emotiva, and they said this app is no problem and their development is correct to follow all from Dolby lab.... |

Yes, I did delete app and reinstall again, but same result. Your 8805 works atmos with Netflix from LG CX, right, mine also worked with Denon and Onkyo. Surely work with 8805 but not Emotiva, as you said. Monday I will request chat with Emotiva support center again. But I am sure their answer will be "Thanks for your report, and we will check about it". It was 2018 when I heard this answer but this time will be same for sure.  |

Seems like people are impressed with the sound of it, sound stage/dynamics, etc. Loss of balanced outputs would be a bummer, but seeing that the BasX amps have no balanced inputs, it makes sense. |

Have you reported the issue to Netflix? It seems that if every app works except for Netflix, perhaps it's a Netflix problem...

JVC x5500, tv is just a small 18 inch Philips. fw 2.3 i use the tv just to watch non specific stuff during day to save the pj bulb hmmmm . . . . . I can't quite remember right now, but I think this might be related to a JVC PJ and dual monitor usage with the G3P's. I'll try to find where this has been mentioned, probably in this thread, where having dual monitors connected has the issue you describe. I don't think my Epson causes an issue like this, but I'll check this tonight. I'm also on FW2.3. I had that problem. Emotiva support told me my 9 year old Plazma couldn’t handle the same HDMI info as my newer projector, and the projector, even when off, is ‘pulling’ a higher HDMI signal and the tv can’t handle it. Same problem on my Marantz, with the new tv, problem is gone. |

Ok, I tested the same album via three different formats into Zone 2. Turntable/Grado Sonata > XPS-1 > RMC-1 Analog 1 in > Zone 2 Out > Nuvo Zone Amp > 3 different pairs of speakers Oppo CD > RMC-1 HDMI 4 in > Zone 2 Out > Nuvo Zone Amp > 3 different pairs of speakers Apple Music > Mac mini > RMC-1 USB in > Zone 2 Out > Nuvo Zone Amp > 3 different pairs of speakers The HDMI input requires "Follow Main", the others I tried both Follow Main and the Zone 2 discrete input selection I do not hear anything unusual with any of the sources or speakers. I tried several things: Hitting pause while playing the CD to see if there was noise behind the music, turning it up loud and walking around listing to various speakers from different location (all outdoors). I'll keep trying various things over the weekend. Just to clarify, you used the term 'static', which is also what someone else called it. To me * 'static' implies a somewhat random but frequent noise, possibly a pop or crackle that may be present with or without a signal (often associated with AM radio) * 'noise' means a constant sound, typically a 'hiss' that is in the background all the time with or without signal, but may get louder with volume (or not). White and Pink noise are good examples of a defined combination of all audible frequencies. * 'distortion' (while technically any change to the signal) is an unpleasant 'grunge' that accompanies the signal and may get worse with volume (or not). * 'clipping' similar to distortion, but normally only at louder levels, or when an input section is overdriven. Which one of these should I listen for, or something else?Also, what is your Zone 2 output driving? Can you drive that with another source to eliminate it as the culprit? (I can also drive my Zone amp with an AirPort express, it sounds very similar) When music is playing through zone two, the noise is 'static' as you have defined it. I use two channels from a GFA 7000 for my zone 2. The other channels drive rears and center speakers. I evaluated using my Ipod as a source direct to the amp with no issues (no static). Next, I reconnected the zone 2 to the amp but then made sure there were no sources powered on. The static is present but it comes out in bursts. When there is a source powered on and playing through zone 2 the static is much more continuous and correlated with the music. Using the CD player, I paused on a track and the static would stop. As soon as I hit play, the static returned with the music. Same with the OPPO player. Question: Is it worth trying to reload the lastest FW again? Is that advisable? I performed a reset to the unit with no change to the problem. I'll open a ticket (if I figure out how :-)). |

I've discovered that my Sony tv can help with diagnosis of some things. After navigating to the "BRAVIA Sync device list", it will remain in a "waiting" state and list any device it can see that is CEC enabled. No need to click on the Enable button shown on the top right of the page, the BRAVIA Sync device list remains "Live" and will react on the fly. Very nice indeed! To check for CEC devices I disconnected all the HDMI cables from the XMC-2 except the ATV4K (Apple TV 4K). Then I swapped the HDMI output cable from HDMI-1 Output to HDMI-2 Output and got the two following results:   This proves the XMC-2 outputs do what they are supposed to do. HDMI-1 has no CEC/ARC, HDMI-2 has CEC/ARC. Full disclosure, I don't use ARC but I like to help with diagnosing issues for others. Up until two Sony TV Firmware updates ago I had no problem getting ARC to work, easy-peasy, but now it's a pain. Don't know what Sony did that the Emotiva processor doesn't like, but something changed in the Sony tv firmware. So, last night and this morning I've been playing with Emotiva G3P firmware versions 2.3 and 2.2 for my XMC-2, going back and forth trying to get ARC to work again. Fail after fail. I even tried initiating the CEC Loopback Test Mode which normally would work, but it kept failing also - until I did something different. After switching off the rear power switch, I would usually press the front power button and immediately turn on the rear power switch, but this time I kept holding the front power button for more than 10 seconds and then turned on the rear power switch and voila!! the tv immediately showed the Emoviva XMC Audio System !!!!!!! I'm guessing that holding the front power button for some amount of time helps to extinguish all internally retained power and clears the system nicely. This is with FW2.3 for the XMC-2.
XMC-2 FW2.3
The process:
Navigate to this screen on the Sony tv. I use the HELP button on the remote, go to Status & Diagnostics, then to External devices symptoms, which then will show the BRAVIA Sync device list. This list showed ATV3 (my third Apple TV device named ATV3).
Then turn off the rear switch of the XMC-2. Press and hold the front power button for more than 10 seconds, keep pressing and holding the button and turn on the rear power switch, when the front panel display shows the tests the front power button can be released. This results in the tv immediately listing the XMC-2 as "Audio system HDMI 3 Emotiva XMC".  The tv switches over to External Speakers which means ARC now works. I have found that if I assign HDMI ARC to a Button on the Remote, that sometimes ARC won't work this way, but it will if I start from a HDMI input that is currently outputting sound and then use the Remote's Input Up/Down buttons to navigate to HDMI ARC manually. It's another "sticky" setting that stays stuck until you kick it. |

I bought LG 2021's OLED, 65C1NA yesterday. With huge expectation, I connected it to my RMC-1L through HDMI ARC(eARC enabled). It's all 4 HDMI is 2.1 and HDMI 2 is eARC capable, although it does not matter for RMC-1L "yet". Anyway, my expectations turns frustration.... ARC functionalities? Good, it works better then old 65SK9000 and flawless "so far" ARC Dolby-Atmos? This drives me mad, especially Netflix app. I burrow APPLE TV 4K from friend. It only produce DOLBY MAT encoded Atmos signal. Netflix from APPLE TV 4K, Atmos has no problem at all, also Amazon Prime, Disney plus, etc. My expectation was that maybe Netflix app on new TV will able to play Atmos contents through my RMC-1L because my old TV did not. However all other apps such as Amazon Prime and Disney Plus and Apple TV plus are able to play Atmos contents through RMC-1L without any glitches, it is same as my old TV. Only Netflix does not. Ok, maybe Netflix app is not follow "Correct encoding rule"  But it plays Atmos when I use my SAMSUNG Soundbar, Onkyo Processor, even 4 year old Denon AVR-X4400H!!! I really don't understand why Emotiva does not able to decode stream from "Netflix app on TV" which even 200$ soundbar can decode and play without any problem??? Don't blame Netflix, nor Netflix app developer, it is Emotiva who is incapable of makes 5000$ system not run like cheap soundbar..! I am frustrate... My complain point is only for this one. All others, ok, I don't have any regret. This is one hell of a device, I agree. But agree mean is not that I can skip "just tiny, worthless problem". Probably nobody in Emotiva has any interest on this "BUG". Yes, it is bug. It is there since the beginning, does not fixed for over 3 years now. Wow. P.S I was able to test StormAudio ISP MK2, on shop, with same LG OLED 77C1, with Netflix app on it, great Atmos sound it produces. Come on, Emotiva. Yes, it has over 20,000$ tag. So what? Price matters? Then what about 200$ soundbar??? I didn't have NETFLIX, so I signed up to try it out. ARC works with FW2.3, so this is good. Can't see any titles with ATMOS, even though they are supposed to have it. So I used my Sony 950G tv remote and switched from External Speakers (XMC-2) to TV Speakers and went back to NETFLIX and found ATMOS is now listed as the audio. So I can't get ATMOS via the NETFLIX App on my Sony 950G tv via ARC to the XMC-2 with FW2.3. The XMC-2 displays DD+ 5.1 as. the incoming audio stream and DD Surround as the outbound audio to the amps. I'm guessing we need a firmware update for this at the minimum. Or maybe the 2.1 eARC board that might be coming next year. |

Which projector, tv, and which G3P firmware version? JVC x5500, tv is just a small 18 inch Philips. fw 2.3 i use the tv just to watch non specific stuff during day to save the pj bulb I just ran a test with my Epson Home Cinema 2400 and XMC-2 w/FW2.3. The XMC-2 is set for VRO (Video Remains On). Running both the Epson 2040 connected to HDMI-1 Output, and Sony 950G tv connected to HDMI-2 Output, the resolution defaults to the lower resolution of the Epson. I turned the whole system off for several minutes. Powered up the Epson 2040 and XMC-2 with no problems. Turned on the Sony tv, both operate as intended. Turned off the system for several minutes. TV operates in VRO just fine. So does the projector. So, no matter which order things are turned on or off or operating concurrently, everything works as intended. So this only proves that this Epson projector doesn't exhibit the issue you are having. Sorry. edit: Just thought of something. Do you use VRO or LPS (Lowest Power Standy)? |

Hopefully Emotiva pay attention for this issue, but also I am be skeptical because this issue was ignored couple years ago when I report it to Emotiva and this forum. Even people in this forum said at that time that this issue is worthless maybe because ARC was not work and reliable like now. What do you think? Am I need to report it again to Emotiva support? |

I didn't have NETFLIX, so I signed up to try it out. ARC works with FW2.3, so this is good. Can't see any titles with ATMOS, even though they are supposed to have it. So I used my Sony 950G tv remote and switched from External Speakers (XMC-2) to TV Speakers and went back to NETFLIX and found ATMOS is now listed as the audio. So I can't get ATMOS via the NETFLIX App on my Sony 950G tv via ARC to the XMC-2 with FW2.3. The XMC-2 displays DD+ 5.1 as. the incoming audio stream and DD Surround as the outbound audio to the amps. I'm guessing we need a firmware update for this at the minimum.

Yes, it is helpful for you to report what you know, and I will do the same. edit: I'm learning about limitations with HDMI 2.0 ARC. I'm not so sure this is really a bug for Emotiva, but instead it may simply be a bandwidth issue with HDMI 2.0. I need more info, still reading about it. |

But it plays Atmos when I use my SAMSUNG Soundbar, Onkyo Processor, even 4 year old Denon AVR-X4400H!!!
