Emotiva DMC-1 manual 5Infrared IR Inputs, 6Triggers and Relay, 7RS-232Port, 8XLR Audio Outputs

5Infrared (IR) Inputs

These are used in custom installations to control the Main Zone and Zone 2 from a remote location. The input accepts 1/8" mono mini-jacks from standard remote control IR equipment, such as those made by Xantech and other companies. The remote sensors can be in a different room, or in a preferred location in your main room.

6Triggers and Relay

The relay switch is normally open, and it will close after a short delay, when selecting a source. This can be used in installations to trigger video screen deployment, or other custom purposes. The OSD INPUTS menu allows you to choose which inputs will activate the relay. The +12 VDC outputs are on whenever their zone is enabled. Emotiva amplifiers have a +12 VDC input which allows them to be turned on automatically by the DMC-1. The 1/8" mini-jack is wired in parallel with the terminals. Do not exceed a current draw of 500 mA total for both outputs.

7RS-232 Port

This connects to the serial port of a home or laptop computer, allowing the DMC- 1 flash memory software to upgraded. The latest software can be downloaded from the EMOTIVA website. It also allows connection of an optional control device intended to be installed in a remote location or the HDMI switcher.

8XLR Audio Outputs

These line-level balanced XLR outputs connect to the XLR inputs of your amplifiers and powered subwoofer. The outputs are: front left, front right, center, left surround, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and one subwoofer (LFE) output. If your amplifier has a choice of inputs, we recommend using the XLR balanced type. This gives better noise rejection, especially for longer cable runs.

9Main Audio Outputs

These line-level RCA outputs connect to the inputs of your amplifiers and powered subwoofer(s). There are outputs for front left, front right, center, left surround, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and three identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.

108-CH Analog Input

These analog audio inputs can connect to the output of an external surround processor, or a source component such as DVDAudio, SACD, or a DVD player with its own surround decoder. You can select this as an input from the front panel or remote control. The eight channels of analog audio will then pass into the DMC-1

Note: This is designed to be a very short, ultra pure, analog-only signal path. DSP-based effects such as tone controls, bass management and DSP surround are bypassed in order to maintain the highest fidelity. This input is not available in Zone 2.
