Audio Input - Emotiva XMC-1 User Manual

The XMC-1 Menu System
The setup Inputs Menu allows you to independently set a Level Trim and various other
parameters for each Input, and determine how that particular Input will handle each of several
different types of input signals.
Note: Remember that the Input settings are independent for each Input, and so must be
configured individually for each Input you use.
After selecting Setup Inputs you will be asked to select which Input you wish to configure. ALL
of the following settings are available for EACH Input, and may be configured independently for
each.
Note: When you enter the setup Inputs Menu, the Input you are configuring will become the
active Input and the XMC-1 will switch to it.
Name
The Name field allows you to configure an alphanumeric "human friendly" name for each Input.

Audio Input

By default, when an HDMI Input is selected, both audio and video signal are taken from that Input.
This setting allows you to choose a different audio Input to be used with each HDMI Input.
Note: Normally, when using an hDMI Input, using that same Input for both your audio and
video signal is preferred. however, there are two situations where that may not be true.
sometimes specific hardware compatibility issues may be avoided by choosing a non-standard
audio Input. for example, if your cable box has issues with the audio it sends over its hDMI
outputs, you may use this setting to tell the XMC-1 to take audio for that Input from a Coax
digital or Toslink connection instead. Another possibility is that you may simply prefer to use
a certain output - other than hDMI audio - with certain equipment. for example, if you have a
Blu-Ray player with high-quality DACs, you may wish to allow it to decode and play the audio
when you play discs on it. If so, then you would connect the analog outputs of your player to
one of the analog inputs on the XMC-1, and use this setting to configure your XMC-1 to use
audio from those analog Inputs with the video signal it receives via that hDMI Input.
Note: Because it concerns which audio signal is associated with a given video input signal, the
Audio Input configuration option is oNly available for hDMI Inputs.
Lip Synch Auto
With most equipment, an HDMI connection includes the ability to automatically negotiate and set
the correct Lip Synch Delay in most situations. Enable Lip Synch Auto to allow the XMC-1 to set
the Lip Synch Delay automatically.
