UMC-200
Menu : Setup : Playback
Allows you to associate default decoder modes with each individual type of input signal.
(For example, you could configure the UMC-200 to always play PCM input signals in
Stereo Mode.) The settings you configure here are default modes, and can always be
changed for individual selections with the Mode Buttons.
Menu : Setup : Speaker Setup
Allows you to manually configure a wide variety of configuration parameters (most of these
are set automatically by EmoQ Gen2; you can change them here).
Size/Crossover; allows you to set the Size, Crossover Point, and Crossover Slope for each
group of speakers.
Enhanced Bass; allows you to route the LFE signal to ALL speakers that are set to large.
Test Tones; allows you to play pink noise test tones from each speaker, and to manually
adjust the level trims for each. (You will need a Sound Pressure Level meter or other
measurement device to measure the levels.)
Speaker Distance: allows you to manually enter the distance from each speaker to the
listening position.
LFE Level; allows you to independently set a level trim for the LFE level when each different
type of input signal (Direct 7.1, PCM, etc) is played.
BI-AMP: when Bi-Amping is enabled, the rear surround outputs on the UMC-200 output a
duplicate of the signal on the front (main) outputs. (In a system where the front speakers are
"vertically bi-amped", the upper and lower frequency sections of each front speaker receive
the same audio signal, but delivered by a separate amplifier channel. This may improve the
audio quality. Bi-Amping requires a speaker which offers "bi-amp" connections, and another
pair of amplifier channels.)
Menu : Setup : EMO-Q/EQ
EMO-Q Calibrate; runs EmoQ Gen2 automatic room correction and speaker calibration.
EMO-Q, Manual EQ 1, Manual EQ 2, Manual EQ 3, Flat; selects which EQ curve to apply to
the UMC-200. Highlighting any of these and pressing Enter will select it as your default EQ
curve; selecting any of these and pressing Enter when it is already highlighted will take you
to a sub-menu where you can manually adjust the parameters for that selection.
Note: The values stored in the EmoQ configuration memory are NOT in the same format as
those in the standard Manual EQ memories (please see the note in the EmoQ section of
this manual for more details).
