Enhanced ARC Support
The MR1L provides full support for standard ARC (Audio Return Channel) for devices that don't have eARC support. For devices that support the new eARC (Enhanced ARC) standard the MR1 will detect this and enable eARC support. Note: Only HDMI Output #1 on the MR1 supports ARC and eARC. Note: On most TV sets only one HDMI Input supports eARC, so be sure and connect the MR1 to that input. In addition to this, on many TV sets, eARC must specifically be enabled, so be sure that eARC is enabled in your TV's configuration menu.

Active HDMI Output Switching
As defined in the HDMI standard, if you have two devices with different video capabilities connected to the two outputs on the MR1L, and both are on, your video source will negotiate a video format supported by both, and the MR1L will send that same video signal to both devices. So, for example, if you have a 4k TV, and a 1080p TV, and only the 4k TV is turned on, it will receive a 4k signal; however, if both TVs are turned on, then both will receive a 1080p video signal (because that is the highest resolution format that both TVs support). The same requirement is also true for some other features - like HDR. Unfortunately, many modern TVs and projectors do not report their status correctly to the processor and source device. As a result of this, for example, you may find that you don’t get 4k video on your 4k TV set unless the 1080p TV set is physically disconnected (unplugged).

The MR1L has a special feature that enables you to avoid this sort of problem. On the MR1L you have the option to temporarily disable each HDMI Output individually. So, in the example above, by disabling the HDMI Output connected to the 1080p TV set when that set isn’t in use, you can prevent it from limiting the 4k video signal being sent to your 4k set.

Incredibly Detailed Surround Sound and Video Performance
The MR1L features 6 HDMI 2.0b video inputs, all of which support 4K UHD HDR video formats including eARC.

Powerful Analog Devices SHARC DSP supports the latest Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround, DTS, DTS:X, DTS Neural X, and other popular modes.

Advanced EMO-Q Automatic Room Correction
The MR1L includes the latest and most advanced version of Emotiva’s EMO-Q Automatic Room Correction System. EMO-Q® now displays a visual interface which includes graphs of both the measured and corrected room response. Channels can now also be tested, and the results adjusted, individually.

Audiophile Quality Class A/B Amplifiers
The MR1L includes both audiophile quality Class A/B amplifiers, which feature advanced power supply topology for optimum efficiency, and line level analog preamp outputs. This enables the MR1L to be used with a combination of passive loudspeakers and external amplifiers.
