I wonder if the xmc/rmc processors store the EDID somewhere and maybe that is why certain devices won’t resync? Just trying to make some sense of it. Sorry to read that you're still having issues, but yes, the HDMI board in the G3P's do retain EDID even in a system level powered down state. To fully reset the HDMI board, you need to "fully" remove external power from the processor for a short period of time. "Factory Resets" do not reset the HDMI board, only the system settings. On the rare occasion where I need to reset the HDMI board, I do it this way... 1) Power down the processor by placing it in "Standby". 2) Flip the main power switch on the rear panel to the "off" position. Remove the power cable if you easily can. 3) Press and hold the "Standby" button on the front of the processor for 15 seconds to drain off any residual power. 4) Remove external power from all of your HDMI based source devices. 5) Leave the processor and all source devices in this state for at least 15 minutes. 6) Power up your sink device (display) and let it fully boot. 7) Restore external power to your processor, turn it on and let it fully boot. 8) Restore external power to your source devices and add them back in one at a time. Hopefully, this works. But if not, you might also consider performing a factory reset on the source devices that are giving you problems. Unless one is somehow damaged, I highly doubt that either your Ruipro (as long as its "directional" signal path is oriented correctly) or your new Zeskit cables have any bearing upon your grief. It has to be either an EDID mismatch or a setting that's somehow being overlooked (or isn't necessarily compatible). I don't own your projector, and don't know much about it, but I assume that both HDMI inputs are equally compatible with your upstream devices and the EDID that's presented to them is the same (?). Keep us posted... |

Thank you. I will give that a try sometime soon. I doubt it’s either of the cables as well. And the bd player is totally fine when connected directly to the Jvc hdmi port or directly to it via the ruipro cable, so that leads me to believe the settings on the bd player are all ok.
The edid is the only thing that seems to make sense, so I will give the full power down one more go and see if that works. I’ll keep u posted!
Update - I did the full reset again following the steps provided and unfortunately I still got the same results (4K/30 for bd player and 720p/60 on firestick). I tried both hdmi ports on the Jvc just to be sure but they are the same as far as I know. I also did a reset of the settings on the player, but that didn’t fix it. Maybe it’s just something with the combo of my rmc and the bd player but then again prob not because the firestick has even more issues lol. Who knows

What is telling you the the signal coming out of the BD player is 4K/30 and what (if anything) is being played from it. Is it just the "home screen" or are you actually playing a disc? And just in case I missed it, what make and model disc player is it...? This has me stumped as everything shown in my sig performs exactly as expected, without a hitch, using the same cables through the same processor. The biggest difference between our setups is the JVC projector versus an LG CX OLED. I can't speak for the FireStick though...  |

Only thing left to try is a full reset of the rmc but I don’t really think that will help. The player is the Sony x800m2 player and the rmc and the Jvc menus both show it as 4K/30 (12bit) when hitting the info buttons. It stays that whether I’m on the menu, play any video on the player’s YouTube app, or play a disc. The only time it changes is when I have it set to play in 24p (it will play at 4K/24). I find it funny that the hdmi test on the ATV4k passes with flying colors and it works like a charm every time. Although, the first couple times I turned on the projector, the ATV4k was only in 1080p and wouldn’t do hdr. But when I did a reset of the rmc, it worked and has ever since. I don’t get it. I’ve even tried downgrading the color and other settings and plugging the bd player directly into the wall to bypass the conditioner m just to see if anything had an impact but no dice. It’s to that point. Ha. Too bad I don’t have a 4K tv or else I’d at least be able to see if that still displayed 4K as expected. |

Okay, so if your RMC-1 is reporting 4K/30, that what it's getting at its input. If the JVC is reporting the same, then both are in agreement. The Sony has determined this signaling, but why..? Dropping to 24fps when spinning a disc is as expected. What chroma values are show in the info when at 4K/30... 4:4:4, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0...? |

I recall hearing about JVC projector compatibility issues with a number of different AVRs, not just Emotiva, although it’s popular so I’d be surprised if Emotiva hasn’t tested it. BTW if the X800M2 is like it’s predecessor which I have used, it has color depth options for Auto, 10 bit, 12 bit and settings to upconvert SDR or not, and bitstream audio settings |

Then, turn off DSC and disable HDR10+. Reboot everything and see what happens... |

I’ve been messing with the player’s color bit depth options as well but not having much luck obviously.  . I appreciate all the suggestions. |

That worked! I guess I had to reboot for it to take effect and never did?! wow! Now the question is why is that needed and do I need to keep hdr off or maybe I try to put it back. I didn’t realize a reboot was needed for the EDID change to take effect. Thank you!! Now I will try to put it back to A and see what happens but at least we are getting somewhere now! 🥳

Yes, It comes up 4:2:2 (SDR YCbCr). Okay... 4K/30p/4:2:2/12bit only requires a 8.91 Gbps and is handed using the traditional (HDMI 1.4) 9 Gbps transfer link. 4K/60p/4:2:0/8,10, or 12 bit requires the same 8.91 Gbps speed, but also requires 18 Gbps (HDMI 2.0) transfer link. I'm thinking you're only getting an HDMI 1.4 compatible handshake from that player. Something is just not right... |

Then I guess you can disregard my post above... No need to re-enable HDR10 + as the RCM-1 won't pass it and very few sources support it (other than your Firestick and only while watching Amazon Prime originals). |

Then I guess you can disregard my post above... No need to re-enable HDR10 + as the RCM-1 won't pass it and very few sources support it (other than your Firestick and only while watching Amazon Prime originals). Actually DSC and HDR10+ are not available to change in EDID B (they just get removed), and my bd player doesn’t support hdr10+ anyway. I just wonder why EDID B is needed through rmc but not when plugged directly into the projector. Again, since ATV4k works on EDID A. I guess maybe it’s because those two sources are “old” and don’t work well with EDID A (potential 8k/60, 4K/120) at least when going through the rmc since direct connections via ruipro hdmi cable or the Jvc port itself worked fine. Puzzling. I cannot believe a reboot of the projector and processor was all that was needed but then again I totally believe it. I rebooted the player but that apparently wasn’t enough. I mean the change goes into effect (screen blinks) when u set it, so it seemed like it was changed and just didn’t work. Thanks again for all the effort. Learn something new every day. I checked the manual and it doesn’t say a reboot is needed, but it certainly was in my case! It always seems to come down to these things, right? 😁 btw - the firestick works now too 😬 |

Some devices just won’t work as you’d expect them to. That’s exactly why Emotiva had to add that “HDMI 2.0/HDMI 1.4” switch to the input settings. But I say all’s well that ends well, so enjoy and don’t try to get your head too wrapped around it. And yes, with any device that allows you to change or edit EDID (HDFury products for example), a reboot is always required so that the new EDID is published and is made available to your upstream/downstream devices. Now go enjoy a movie… 😁 |

The RMC-1 doesn't support HDR10+? I've been upgrading my equipment to HDR10+ compatible components! That's disappointing if true.

I cannot absolutely swear to it, but I don't think they've added the passthrough bits to support HDR10 + (not to be confused with HDR-10) on the current HDMI 2.0b board. That support will likely come with the HDMI 2.1 board that's currently in the works... |

Hello. How do I create a new thread on this forum? I'm a registered member, I read the post on how to create a new thread, and there is no "create thread" button anywhere. I'm having several problems w/my rmc-1L and have gotten tired of dealing w/them. Without reading all 319 pages of this forum, I'm trying to focus in on my issues. Searches shorten the time a bit, but not much. So, does anyone have links to threads that address any of these problems:
BTW: I checked for new firmware today and found I haven't installed v2.5 firmware yet, but the post doesn't mention fixing any of the issues I'm having. I'm on 2.4. I didn't want to install 2.5 and wait another few weeks testing before I wrote this. So, I'm writing it now and will do the update when finished. If you have any ideas, or can point me to applicable posts, I'd appreciate it.
1. ARC does now work at all. I've read a lot of the comments about that one and tried all of the suggestions - nothing worked. It just seems hit or miss on whether it will work for you or not. I've got the Samsung QN85QN90A display. I called support and in the end they said they had most compatibility problems between the RMC and Samsung TVs. The ARC problems have been on this thread since 2020 and the problems are still not fixed by firmware updates. The TV has eARC and RMC ARC, but the specs of eARC say it s/be backward compatible w/ARC. Not so I guess for the RMC. Also, one of the posts said if you google ARC that all the processors have problems w/ARC. I seriously doubt that most of the mainstream higher end components have these problems. I've tried new cables, unplugging, cycling power on all devices, even my coffee maker, and no help.
2. I have to reboot the RMC about every 3 days for various reasons listed below.
a. It just hangs up. I turn on the RMC and TV and nothing is displayed on the TV. RMC has the current input selection displayed on the front, but nothing. I have cycle the power via the back switch, sometimes twice, to clear it up.
b. The remote stops working. The menu controller on the front of the unit works. Have to reboot.
c. Power on the RMC and TV, either order, and TV says "check device power". Tried many things on TV and RMC, nothing worked - had to reboot - twice. Now, this could be the TV, but after all these issues w/the RMC, I doubt it.
d. Hooked up new subwoofer (powered down rmc, etc.). When started rmc, loud static came through all speakers. Had to reboot. maybe that situation calls for a reboot.
Now, I know I can turn off "video always on" mode, but who wants to wait 1-2 minutes for it to boot every time you turn on the TV.
3. Remote controll.
a. When scrolling through values in any of the lists, if you scroll too fast, it stops refreshing the list and you get double entries. You have to go back up, then down again to get the missing values to reappear.
b. It is VERY sluggish. Sometimes it takes up to 15 seconds to change inputs. Sometimes it doesn't honor a button press. After around 20 seconds, it seems to execute it.
I've had the RMC since early November. It's been a disappointment. I never know when it will work and when it won't. I can't even evaluate the sound and vision quality because my thinking is so clouded w/frustration. My old Sherborne processor never had a single problem. I like the ideas and motivations behind Emotiva and their staff, but they have never had a processor without major bugs and IMHO. I'm not giving up on them, just puzzled why they can't make a processor work right.
Thanks for letting me air my frustrations, and any help is much appreciated!
System:
Processor: Emotiva RMC-1L
Amp: Emotiva XPA-5
TV: Samsung QN85QN90A
Speakers: Goldenear - Triton One.R, SuperCenter XL, SuperSub X, SuperSat 3 satellites.

Power on the RMC and TV, either order, and TV says "check device power". Tried many things on TV and RMC, nothing worked - had to reboot - twice. Now, this could be the TV, but after all these issues w/the RMC, I doubt it. d. Hooked up new subwoofer (powered down rmc, etc.). When started rmc, loud static came through all speakers. Had to reboot. maybe that situation calls for a reboot. Now, I know I can turn off "video always on" mode, but who wants to wait 1-2 minutes for it to boot every time you turn on the TV. 3. Remote controll. a. When scrolling through values in any of the lists, if you scroll too fast, it stops refreshing the list and you get double entries. You have to go back up, then down again to get the missing values to reappear. b. It is VERY sluggish. Sometimes it takes up to 15 seconds to change inputs. Sometimes it doesn't honor a button press. After around 20 seconds, it seems to execute it. I've had the RMC since early November. It's been a disappointment. I never know when it will work and when it won't. I can't even evaluate the sound and vision quality because my thinking is so clouded w/frustration. My old Sherborne processor never had a single problem. I like the ideas and motivations behind Emotiva and their staff, but they have never had a processor without major bugs and IMHO. I'm not giving up on them, just puzzled why they can't make a processor work right. Thanks for letting me air my frustrations, and any help is much appreciated! System: Processor: Emotiva RMC-1L Amp: Emotiva XPA-5 TV: Samsung QN85QN90A Speakers: Goldenear - Triton One.R, SuperCenter XL, SuperSub X, SuperSat 3 satellites. I could be wrong on this, but I think you need to have a minimum amount of posts before being allowed to create a thread. 1. Having success with ARC is tv model dependent from what I've experienced. I had one firmware update with my Sony that disallowed ARC to work, but the next firmware update fixed it. Other than that one firmware from Sony I've been able to get ARC to work with minimal effort. Usually it can be just a cold boot of the processor, or both the processor and tv. My Sony tv settings are the only things I've had to change to get ARC working. I've left my XMC-2 at its default settings. 2/3. Are you using the supplied remote from Emotiva? edit: For a bit more clarity on this. If ARC is not working, I just unplug my tv, turn off the rear power switch on the processor, wait five minutes, plug tv back in and wait for it to fully boot up, then turn on processor. After all this, ARC works. Simple as that. If ARC still doesn't work I would factory reset your tv and do the unplugging as stated above. |
