Emotiva UMC-1 and B&W Speakers: Santhols2 setup reviewed by an AudioBlind

^^ What makes you believe it isn't the other way round ..

i confirm that. the latest firmware also fixed a weird problem i had with DTS-HD Hi Res.. robotic sound. (esp in "theres something about mary")

now it takes less time to synce HD audio than the denon 1611..

cheers

Great, will upgrade firmware on UMC-1 and confirm.

This is strange. I have seen the same audio dropout with a Dune Prime BD 3.0 connected to a NAD 775. Is this an HDMI handshake issue? The dropout kind of faded away after a few days of use. This was happening in Die Hard 4, and Iron Man - both BDs.

Cheers

In my case, it takes about 2 minutes for the UMC-1, the Projector and the PS3(for blu-ray) to sync and for the video to come up on the screen. This, I believe is definitely a HDMI handshake issue. Once the display comes up, I don't have any issues except the audio dropout issue which also I feel is a synchronisation issue between the video and audio. I feel the audio has not caught up with the Video especially when selecting scenes or when you forward the movie. When I I pause and then play again, it works fine (8/10 times).

santosh is a great guy, thats whats I can say after just a couple of phone talks and gifts exchanges ....... I wish I could visit Bangalore some day.

Thanks buddy. Do let me know when you are in Bangalore, we'll gift each other some more.

Ah! A shamelessly honest confession of being influenced through Bribery!!! hyeah:

Now you know why you should never believe in online reviews. They are all riggedhyeah:.

How much did he "Gift" you before you sang these tuneful praises?

Ah! that one yes I remember but never connected the dots until now! What advance planning my man!! :clapping:

Give a bribe with the hand-over-the-table technique (advanced) instead of hand-under-the-table method (basic) does not make it moral ethical and legitimate hyeah:


Jai Audio Devi Prasanna!!

May you be blessed with a thousand ICs ...

Well yes, but in this case the bribe was exchanged from both ends, so it doesnt exactly remains a bribe at all ...... infact it becomes a voluntary donation, which you would agree is more so a saint thing to do, in all ethical and legitimate sense .....
