Infrared (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 differ-
ent room, or in a preferred location in
your main room.

Triggers and Relay
The relay switch is normally open, and it
will close after a short delay, when se-
lecting a source. This can be used in in-
stallations to trigger video screen deploy-
ment, or other custom purposes. The
OSD INPUTS menu allows you to
choose which inputs will activate the re-
lay. The +12 VDC outputs are on when-
ever their zone is enabled. Emotiva am-
plifiers have a +12 VDC input which al-
lows them to be turned on automatically
by the DMC-1. The 1/8" mini-jack is wired
in parallel with the terminals. Do not ex-
ceed a current draw of 500 mA total for
both outputs.

RS-232 Port
This connects to the serial port of a
home or laptop computer, allowing the
DMC-1 flash memory software to up-
graded. 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.

XLR Audio Outputs
These line-level balanced XLR outputs
connect to the XLR inputs of your amplifi-
ers and powered subwoofer. The outputs
are: front left, front right, center, left sur-
round, 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.
9
Main 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.
8-CH Analog Input
1 0
These analog audio inputs can connect to
the output of an external surround proces-
sor, or a source component such as
DVD-Audio, SACD, or a DVD player with
its own surround decoder. You can select
this as an input from the front panel or re-
mote control. The eight channels of ana-
log 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 by-
passed in order to maintain the highest fi-
delity. This input is not available in Zone 2.
