Operating the RMC-1
Video On Standby
The RMC-1 has a feature which allows it to operate in a special Standby mode when you switch it
into Standby. In this mode, all video and audio processing is disabled, but the RMC-1 will still pass
audio and video directly to your TV or monitor, and the controls on the RMC-1 will still allow you
to change sources. This feature may be used to allow your family to continue to watch TV on the
TV monitor connected to the RMC-1 even when "the big stereo" is turned Off.
The Video on Standby feature is configured in the Setup | Advanced Menu (to use this mode,
configure Standby in the RMC-1 for "Video Remains On".
When the Video on Standby feature is NOT Enabled
When you turn on the rear panel Power switch, the RMC-1 will go into Standby Mode (the halo
ring around the front panel Standby button will illuminate amber).
When you then press the front panel Standby button, the RMC-1 will load and initialize the
operating system. During this time, the Emotiva logo will appear in the front panel display, and a
progress bar will be shown along the bottom of the display.
When the RMC-1 is fully initialized, the display will change to the normal Information display.
Pressing the Standby button on the front panel or the remote control will return the RMC-1 to
Standby Mode.
When the Video on Standby feature IS Enabled
When you turn on the rear panel Power switch, the RMC-1 will go into a special Standby Mode
which allows the Video on Standby feature to operate even though the main power is off.
When you first turn on the rear panel switch, the halo ring around the front panel Standby switch
will illuminate blue. The RMC-1 will then load and initialize the operating system, during which
time the Emotiva logo will appear in the front panel display a progress bar will be shown along
the bottom of the display.
When the RMC-1 is fully initialized, the display will switch off and the halo ring around the front
panel Standby button will illuminate amber. At this point the RMC-1 is in a special Standby mode
and the Video on Standby feature is operational.
Note: When the Video on Standby feature is enabled, pressing the Standby button (from On)
places the RMC-1 in a special standby mode. The RMC-O/S remains loaded in this mode, and so
doesn't have to be re-loaded when you turn the RMC-1 back On. Leaving the Video on Standby
Mode enabled allows the RMC-1 to switch from Standby Mode to On very quickly. For this
reason, you may prefer to have Video on Standby Mode enabled even if you don't watch video
while the RMC-1 is in Standby Mode.
