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).
