Sounds like my UMC-1 experiences, plus a painful process for firmware updates and Big Dan's deception - starting the 30 day return window after a year or so of firmware upgrades with the most recent release (which still didn't fix issues) without telling customers the clock is ticking. Luckily I found out and was able to return mine. Read through the owner's thread on AVS for the RMC-1...same issues but with added caveat that it's not Emotiva's processor but other HDMI devices (even 1.4).
