UMC-200

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Emotiva UMC-200 7.1 Channel Home Theater Preamplifier and 

HD Surround Sound Processor. The UMC-200 delivers clean, super-fast video switching 

for up to four HDMI 1.4 inputs, and state-of-the-art surround sound audio processing for all 

of the latest HD audio and video standards, including DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS Neo:6, 

Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and Pro Logic IIz. Our new and improved EmoQ™ 

Gen2 enhanced multi-channel automatic room correction and speaker calibration system 

optimizes your entire system, providing great sound, while the manual calibration features 

in the UMC-200 offer amazing flexibility, allowing you to do your own precision adjustments 

if you choose to do so. The UMC-200 also offers a wide variety of advanced features, 

including Last Video Memory, which lets you switch audio sources while continuing to watch 

your previously selected video source, and Video On Standby, which lets you configure the 

UMC-200 to pass audio and video straight to your TV even when it’s in standby. 
Of course, the biggest feature of the UMC-200, and one you wouldn’t expect in an “entry 

level” pre / pro, is incredible audio and video 

performance

. The fast video switches in the 

UMC-200 switch quickly and cleanly between inputs, and don’t alter the quality of your 

pristine video signal in any way, and the audio sound quality is, in a word, “amazing”. 
We think the UMC-200 is a clear winner, and we’re sure you’ll agree.

The Emotiva Team.
