Connecting the XMC-1
6. Front Panel Analog Input
Connect any music source that supplies line level stereo analog audio to this input. This input is
named "Analog Front", and is typically used for an iPod or other portable music player.
7. Menu Button
Press the Menu button to activate the configuration menu; press the Menu button again to return
to the Information display. When the Menu is active on the XMC-1 front panel, the Menu will also
be displayed on the On-Screen Display (OSD).
8. Dim Button
Press the Dim button once to display the current Brightness setting. Once the Brightness setting
is displayed, press the button repeatedly to adjust the Brightness setting of the XMC-1 front panel
display. When this button is pressed, the current setting is displayed; each subsequent press
advances the Brightness one level; if the Brightness is at 100%, the next button press returns it to
0%. (Brightness can be adjusted in six steps: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%).
Note: When Brightness is set to 0%, the front panel display will be completely off during
normal operation, but will momentarily switch to the minimum visible setting whenever any
control is operated.
9. Standby Button
Press this to switch the XMC-1 from Standby to On; press it again to return the XMC-1 to Standby
mode. (The rear panel AC Power switch must be On.) The halo ring around the Standby button
illuminates amber for Standby and blue for On.
Note: In its default configuration, when the XMC-1 is powered on using the rear panel power
switch, the halo ring around the standby button will immediately illuminate blue. A few
seconds later, the Emotiva logo will appear in the display, and a progress bar will move across
the bottom of the display to indicate that the XMC-1 is booting up; the boot-up process will
take about a minute. When the boot-up process is complete, the halo ring around the standby
button will switch to amber, indicating that the XMC-1 is then in standby mode. pressing the
standby button at this point will switch the XMC-1 to on. (loading the operating software and
completing the boot-up process when first powered on and entering standby mode enables
the XMC-1 to switch very quickly between standby and on afterwards.) When the XMC-1 is
configured to Video on standby mode, the operating software remains loaded as long as the
XMC-1 is powered on, and startup takes only a few seconds. Refer to the sections entitled
XMC-1 Start Up Routine and Video On Standby for more details.
10. Audio Button
Press this button to cycle through the valid surround sound decoding modes available for the
input that is currently selected. (The modes you can choose from will depend on the signal being
received at the input.)
