BasX MR1

Special Features

The BasX MR1L is highly configurable. However there are a few important features that are
especially noteworthy.
1. Enhanced ARC Support (eARC)
The MR1L provides full support for standard ARC (Audio Return Channel) for devices that don't
have eARC support. For devices that support the new eARC (Enhanced ARC) standard the MR1L
will detect this and enable eARC support.
Note: Only HDMI Output #1 on the MR1L supports ARC and eARC.
Note: On most TV sets only one HDMI Input supports eARC, so be sure and connect the MR1L to
that input. In addition to this, on many TV sets, eARC must specifically be enabled, so be sure
that eARC is enabled in your TV's configuration menu.
2. Active HDMI Output Switching
As defined in the HDMI standard, if you have two devices with different video capabilities
connected to the two outputs on the MR1L, and both are on, your video source will negotiate a
video format supported by both, and the MR1L will send that same video signal to both devices.
So, for example, if you have a 4k TV, and a 1080p TV, and only the 4k TV is turned on, it will receive
a 4k signal; however, if both TVs are turned on, then both will receive a 1080p video signal
(because that is the highest resolution format that both TVs support). The same requirement is
also true for some other features - like HDR.
Unfortunately, many modern TVs and projectors do not report their status correctly to the
processor and source device. As a result of this, for example, you may find that you don't get 4k
video on your 4k TV set unless the 1080p TV set is physically disconnected (unplugged).
The MR1L has a special feature that enables you to avoid this sort of problem. On the MR1L you
have the option to temporarily disable each HDMI Output individually. So, in the example above,
by disabling the HDMI Output connected to the 1080p TV set when that set isn't in use, you can
prevent it from limiting the 4k video signal being sent to your 4k set.
3. Advanced EMO-Q Automatic Room Correction
The MR1L includes the latest and most advanced version of our EMO-Q Automatic Room
Correction System. EMO-Q now displays a visual interface which includes graphs of both the
measured and corrected room response. Channels can now also be tested individually and the
results adjusted individually.
4. Audiophile Quality Class A/B Amplifiers
The MR1L includes both audiophile quality Class A/B amplifiers and line level analog preamp
outputs. This enables the MR1L to be used with a combination of passive loudspeakers and
external amplifiers.
