SOFTWARE Menu

This menu is used to show the current revision levels of system software within your DMC-1. It also allows the DMC-1 Flash memory software to be upgraded by use of the RS-232 port.

Please note that to accomplish the software upgrade, you will

need to connect the DMC-1 to a computer with a serial cable

(DB-9 type). The latest version of the DMC-1 software is available

on the Emotiva website. You will need to download this to your

computer before connecting and upgrading the DMC-1.

For detailed instructions on this procedure and to check for the latest software version, please visit the Emotiva website at www.emotiva.com.

 

CONTROL Menu

 

In most cases, there is no need to change these settings (all enabled

 

by default). You should make any changes with caution. This menu

 

allows you to enable or disable the RS-232 port and the rear panel IR

 

remote control connections. The front panel IR receiver can also be

 

disabled if required, but make sure the rear panel IR receiver is

 

working correctly and is still active before doing this.

 

The front panel IR can be re-enabled by holding down the

 

remote’s MENU button for several seconds, while pointing it at

 

the front IR window.

For HDMI switching to function, you MUST make sure

��������������

the "GEFEN CONTROL" is enabled. Gefen engineers the

 

external HDMI switch box used on the DMC-1 so that is

 

the name you will see in the System Control Menu of the

 

OSD. Enabling the switch means that HDMI video signals

will switch between the DVD and SAT inputs to the HDMI output. Audio is not switched through the HDMI connections on the DMC-1 nor are any of the other video inputs "transferred" over to the HDMI output. If you do not connect any HDMI inputs, there will be no output on HDMI. If you only connect one of the two HDMI inputs, there will only be a video signal on the HDMI output when that source is selected. This may mean that you need to use both HDMI and another video connection to your television to bring in all the video sources switched through the various video inputs present on DMC-1 and the HDMI switcher.
