UMC-200
Using Advanced Features
Last Video Memory
Last Video Memory is an interesting feature that allows you to continue to watch the video
from one source after selecting a different audio-only source. (You don’t have to enable Last
Video Memory; it is inherent in the UMC-200 operation.)
The way Last Video Memory works is simple: If you select a new audio-only source while
you are watching a source that provides both video and audio, the audio you hear will
switch to your new selection, but the video from the previous selection will continue to play.
One way you might use this feature would be to watch the pre-game coverage of a football
game, then switch to a radio station to hear your favorite commentator do the play-by-play;
Last Video Memory would allow you to continue to see the video coverage while listening
to the radio station’s audio coverage. Or you might want to switch to an interesting nature
video (or your favorite pastoral background “wallpaper video”), and then leave it running
while you listen to your favorite album. It’s also handy if a show gets delayed; you can listen
to music while you watch out of the corner of your eye for the show to finally start.
Incidentally, the UMC-200 remembers the last input you had selected when you put it into
Standby, and even when you switch it entirely Off using the rear panel Power switch, it
automatically returns to that input when you turn it back On. If you were using Last Video
Memory to listen to one audio input while watching a different video input, the UMC-200 will
also remember that setting, and return to both the audio and video inputs you were using
when it was powered Off.
Video-On-Standby
Video On Standby is a rather sophisticated feature that actually allows the UMC-200 to
continue to pass video and audio to a TV when it’s in Standby mode (the UMC-200 actually
remains in a special mode that, while it uses a tiny bit more power than true Standby mode,
uses far less than when the UMC-200 is On).
The UMC-200 ships with Video On Standby disabled. To enable Video On Standby Mode,
press the Menu button (to get into the menu system), select Setup, move down to Features,
move right to Standby Video, and change the setting to On.
Here’s how Video On Standby works when you enable it: Let’s assume you are watching
(and listening to) a video source, and you switch the UMC-200 into Standby. If the video
source you were listening to remains active, the UMC-200 switches into a pass-through
mode, where that video source - with audio - is passed directly through to your TV.
(There may be a few second loss of signal as the source renegotiates HDMI parameters
with your TV.)
