AC Connections

Before Y ou Begin
AC Connection
Before you plug your Cinema Reference into an AC outlet, make certain that the voltage selector switch is set to the proper position. The Cinema Reference’s safety fuse is set to match the voltage selector’s setting. There are two voltage selector switches and two safety fuse holders. When viewing the Cinema Reference from the front, the Main Switch/Fuse are on the units left side. The VGA Switch/ Fuse are located on the units rear panel.
If you are altering the Voltage Selector Switches, you will also most likely need to change the safety fuses.
AC Connection
For customers who are using the U.S. standard AC receptacle, you will use the EIC AC Power Cord provided with the Cinema Reference Mach II. Simply plug this AC cord into an operative AC outlet. For customers who are using a non-U.S. standard AC receptacle, you will need to acquire an EIC AC Power Cord with the appropriate receptacle connector. ADA only provides AC Power Cords with the U.S. standard AC prongs.
As you remove the Cinema Reference Mach II from its packaging, inspect the condition of the component prior to proceeding with the following steps for AC connection. In the event that the Cinema Reference Mach II appears to have suffered cosmetic damage due to shipping, please contact your Authorized ADA Dealer immedi­ately and do not proceed to plug the unit into an AC outlet.
Caution
Before plugging your Cinema Reference Mach II into an AC outlet, check the Voltage Selector Switch settings (the Main Switch and Fuse holder is located on the units left side when looking at the Cinema Reference from the front and the VGA Switch and Fuse holder is located on the units back panel) and make certain that the selector is set to your appropriate voltage position. For U.S. cus­tomers, this setting should be 115V. For international customers, you may need to set this switch to 230V.
Fuse Values
For U.S. customers or international customers also operating on a 1 15V AC system, the Main fuse value of the Cinema Reference Mach II should be a 1 Amp Slow Blow fuse. For international customers operating on a 230V AC system, the Main fuse value should be 1/2 Amp Slow Blow . The safety Main fuse is located next to the Voltage selector switch on the Cinema References left side (when viewing it from the front.) The VGA fuse is located on the rear panel. For systems operating at 115V AC, the fuse value is 2/10 Amp Slow Blow. For systems operating at 230V AC, the VGA fuse value is 1/10 Amp Slow Blow.

Audio Connections
The Cinema Reference Mach IIs Audio Outputs are clearly marked in a white field on the back of the
ADA strongly suggests not using directional interconnects that lift the grounds. This diagram
unit. includes ADA’s PTM-8150 Eight Channel Power Amplifier. While you may decide to vary the input arrangement if you are using a PTM-8150, the following input arrangement will cause the amplifier ’s front panel LED display to spread outward from Channel 4, the center channel speaker. If you are using a self-powered subwoofer, you will connect the Cinema Reference’s SUB Output directly to the subwoofer . If you are using a self powered subwoofer with the PTM-8150, you may opt to “Y” split the SUB output so as to illuminate channel eight of the PTM-8150.
Amplifier AC Connections
The Cinema Reference Mach II incorporates a switched AC outlet which is rated at 10 Amps. This is powerful enough for ADA ’s PTM-8150 or PTM-6150 Power Amplifiers. Several other power amplifiers could also be plugged directly into this switched AC outlet. However, if the power amplifier is going to draw more than 10 Amps (such as ADA s MP A-501 Five Channel THX High-Power Amplifier), you will want to avoid using this switched AC outlet. To connect the power amplifier to the Cinema Reference Mach II, you will need to use an EIC Male to EIC Female AC Cord. These AC cords are also used for computers and computer monitors and are available in stores that support computer and AC products.

Features
The Cinema Reference Mach II acts as both an input selector and surround sound decoder. It is capable of decoding Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital (AC-3), and DTS encoded formats and also pro­vide Lucasfilm THX Ultra 2 enhancements and filters. While the Cinema Reference Mach II can automatically detect between Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, and Dolby Digital/Dolby Pro Logic (both decoding formats are used when playing two-channel encoded DVD discs {typically older mov­ies available on DVD that are not mixed in six channels}), the option to engage either full THX en­hancements or only THX Re-EQ must be manually set on the Cinema Reference Mach II. The Cin­ema Reference also provides several additional modes ideal for music playback. There are additional settings that permit the Cinema Reference Mach II to also operate in home theaters where a full eight channel speaker array may only be partially implemented (i.e. no back surround and/or no center channel). Furthermore, the Cinema Reference Mach II also permits each channel to be set to its own volume level with respect to all other channels as well as have its own delay setting. These features and more are discussed in the upcoming sections.

The Cinema Reference Mach II permits you to scroll to the next input without having all of the components you are passing actively process through the Cinema Reference Mach II. This prevents the clicking that is commonly associated with changing TV channels up and down. To best access another component from the front of the Cinema Reference, turn the Input Selector knob. As you turn this knob, you will notice that the top row of the LCD display will not change, still indicating the current component in use (in this example, DVD PLAYER 1). The second line of the LCD display will advance through the input names until the desired component is displayed.

Record Selector

The Cinema Reference Mach II incorporates a record selector that operates independently from the actual source component selected for the home theater room. This record selector can be used in several ways.
1 Use the Record Selector to send audio and video signals from a particular component to a recording device (i.e. VCR)
2 Use the Record Selector to send a video signals to a second monitor or TV set. Ideal for the sports fanatic, this option would permit a second TV to display a broadcast from a DSS receiver , TV tuner, or VCR TV tuner, while the primary viewing display would be set to a particular channel from another component.
3 Use the Record Selector to determine the image inserted into a TVs PIP (Picture In Picture). This would provide the same effect as described in option 2 (above) using the PIP function in place of a second TV or monitor.
4 Use the Record Selector to send the audio and video signal of a particular device to a whole-house multi-room audio video sys­tem. This setup would cause the Record Selector to act as a sepa­rate zone from the actual home theater.
Please note, that the Record audio output of the Cinema Refer­ence Mach II is a pure analog output. There is no analog-to­digital or digital-to-analog conversion taking place in this cir­cuit. This preserves the audio quality for those who opt to use the Record output to pass audio to a premium two-channel audio system. If a component is connected to a digital input on the Cinema Reference Mach II, a special setup will need to be done in order for the unit to play through the record output. This is discussed under Recording Connections.
Record Selector Functions
To determine what component the Record Selector is currently set to, press the Record Selector knob. The display will read as follows where the second line of the dis­play indicates the component se­lected.

Out of the Box Input Configuration

The Cinema Reference Mach II is an incredibly flexible home theater controller that can accommodate a wide array of components. For easy and quick setup, one can use the Out of the Box input configurations shown on the following pages. One can also elect to do a completely “Custom” input configuration or a combination of Out of the Box and Custom input configurations.
The Out of the Box input configuration is easy to follow and offers connection of as many as 15 components without adjustment of the Cinema References input configurations (providing that the sources have the appropriate outputs and that the TV has at least an S-Video input). Below is a chart showing the Cinema References 20 input labels and the assignment of the A/V jacks on the rear panel of the unit. While there are 20 available input labels, the Out of the Box setup utilizes only the first fifteen labels were the remaining five are record options.

CONVERSION
OUTPUT
Please note, that the Out of the Box input configuration is designed to maximize the home theater experience. Because only analog audio connections play through the record output, the components that are connected digitally (DVD, DSS) will not provide audio through the record output. This can be changed and is discussed in the Record Connection section of this manual.
Custom input configuration permits any input label to be renamed to best suit the actual system. For example, the input label DSS could be changed to read SATELLITE. Also, each input label can be assigned to any of the eight analog or eight digital audio inputs, as they do not have to be fixed to the A/V jacks that are assigned in the Out of the Box setup. The same is true for the composite video, S­Video, component video, and RGB video inputs. This flexibility permits you to maximize the Cinema Reference Mach IIs A/V jacks to accommodate a wide assortment of components. Lastly, the Cinema Reference features an option called Final Input. Here, you can reduce the number of input labels that are displayed. For example, if you are only connecting six components to the Cinema Reference Mach II, you could set the final input to CD PLA YER 6. After this adjustment, turning the input knob will only display the first six inputs. As such, combining the Final Input feature with the ability to rename input labels and reassign A/V jacks to any input label, one has the ability to completely customize a Cinema Reference Mach II to perfectly match any system. And should a component be added at some later time, the final input can be opened back up to seven (or more) to accommodate connection of the new devices. To learn more about “Custom” input configuration of the Cinema Reference Mach II, skip forward to this section. To proceed with the Out of the Box setup, follow the instructions on the following pages.

The above illustration shows composite video, S-Video, and component video connections. You may not require all of these connections and will need to determine this based on the input connections on your TV, projector, or line-doubling device.
Composite Video
ADA suggests connecting the composite video signal from the DVD player to the Cinema Reference Mach II. Because the Cinema References front panel preview monitor only displays a composite video signal, it will be necessary to use this connection regardless if your display device is capable of showing S-Video or Component Video.
S-Video
S-Video offers superior image resolution than composite video. Most home theater displays, either TV or projector, offer an S-Video input.
Component Video
Component video is superior to S-Video. While most TVs do not feature a component video input, most projectors or line-doublers do. This connection is only useful if your TV or projector feature a component video input.

DVD Audio/SACD Player Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration also has provisions for a DVD Player that is capable of playing DVD Audio and/or SACD. These multi-channel high-resolution discs are designed to offer superior sound quality. Because of concerns regarding copy-protection, the decoding of the material actually takes place in the DVD player. For this reason, DVD Audio and SACD players feature six channel analog audio outputs which are labeled left, center, right, left surround, right surround and subwoofer.

DSS Receiver Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration for a DSS receiver is set to use the optical digital audio output of the DSS receiver as most DSS receivers have this type of TOS-Link jack. In the event your DSS receiver features a digital audio coaxial jack, you may wish to use this connection instead of the optical connection. Coaxial connections are better than optical connections, especially when basic optical interconnects are all that are available.

TOS-Link Optical Digital Interconnect

TOS-Link Optical Interconnects & Audio Dropouts

The issue regarding TOS-Link optical interconnects stems from the manner in which they are manu­factured. The most basic TOS-Link cables have the fiber optic line cut with a hot wire. Cutting the fiber optic line in this manner forms a smooth reflective surface. It is this reflective surface which causes digital data, in the form of light, to reflect off of the optical receiver, and in essence, back feed into the TOS-Link interconnect. As such, the flow of light (the flow of digital data) is then interrupted. This will cause audio dropouts during playback.
When selecting a TOS-Link interconnect, ADA strongly suggests using the very best cable available. T ypically , these cables of fer some type of frosted tip which greatly reduces the reflective interference. The very best TOS-Link interconnects provide convex tips which eliminate reflective interference.
If your DSS receiver features a digital coaxial audio output and you wish to use this type of intercon­nect, follow the instructions as outlined on the next page.

Coaxial Digital Interconnect
In the event that the DSS receiver features a coaxial digital audio output which you intend to use instead of the TOS-Link output, you will need to connect a 75 interconnect to Digital Input #2. When doing this, you will also need to change the audio jack assigned to the DSS input label. To do this:
1 Turn the input knob until displays second line reads DSS 2 and then press the Input knob. 2 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads SETUP MENU and press
the Mode knob.
3 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads AUDIO INPUTS and press
the Mode knob.
4 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads DIGITAL 2.
At this time, you have reassigned the DSS 2 input label from tracking the Optical 2 input to the Digital 2 input.
Please note that regardless of which wiring option you choose to use when connecting a DSS receiver to the Cinema Reference Mach II, you may still need to make adjustments to the DSS receiver. As many DSS receivers have multiple audio output setup configurations, ADA strongly suggests reviewing the DSS manual to insure proper setup.

DVR/PVR Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration for a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) are sometimes called PVRs (Personal Video Recorders). There are several different models available and the diagram below shows connection of the most basic type of models.
These units feature analog audio outputs along with both composite video and S-Video outputs. The diagram to the right details the connection of more advanced models that in addition to the outputs found on standard models, also include a digital audio output as well as a VGA video output. Because the Cinema Reference Mach IIs Out of the Box setup is designed for easy connection of all types of DVRs, the diagram below shows the more basic connection.

DVRs are designed to record material that is being broadcast (either off-air TV, cable TV, or DSS TV) and may require an output from a broadcast tuner to permit this recording function. Some units feature an internal tuning device of their own. As such, you may be able to record into the DVR while you watch something else. To maximize the connectivity of your DVR and the Cinema Reference Mach II, you will need to consult with the DVRs instruction manual regarding connecting other de­vices to the DVR. Please note, that you may wish to connect some components to both the DVR and the Cinema Reference.

DVR/PVR with Digtial Audio & VGA Video Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration for a DVR provides for analog audio connections. This configu­ration, in addition to composite video and S-Video, is also setup for VGA video. As such, if you are using an advanced DVR, one that also features a VGA video output (i.e. replay tv 4000), you can connect this output to the Cinema References #3 VGA input. As with other components that feature a VGA output, this connection is only useful if your display device features a VGA/HDTV input.

Regardless of whether your display device features a VGA/HDTV input, the advanced DVRs also offer a digital audio output that will improve your entertainment experience. Because the Out of the Box configuration defaults to the Analog 3 input, you will first need to reassign the DVR/PVR input label to a digital audio jack. At the time of this printing, advanced DVRs feature a TOS-Link optical digital connection which should be connected to the Cinema Reference Mach IIs Optical Input #3. To reassign the DVR/PVR input label to track the digital input, follow the steps below.
1 Turn the input knob until displays second line reads DVR/PVR 3 and then press the Input
knob.
2 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads SETUP MENU and press
the Mode knob.
3 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads AUDIO INPUTS and press
the Mode knob.
4 Turn the Mode knob counterclockwise until the displays second line reads OPTICAL 3.
At this time, you have reassigned the DVR/PVR 3 input label from tracking the Analog 3 input to the Optical 3 input.
Please note that when using a TOS-Link interconnect, ADA strongly suggests using the very best interconnect available to prevent audio dropouts.

Digital or HDTV Cable/TV Tuner Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration for Cable/TV tuners provides for analog audio connections along with composite video. If you are using a HDTV tuner instead of a cable TV tuner, you will need to alternate the audio input configuration for the CABLE/TV 5 input label. This input label is also setup Out of the Box for a VGA/HDTV input on VGA input #4. To permit the Cinema Reference Mach II to play digital audio, you will need to connect a TOS-Link interconnect between your tuning device and the Cinema References #4 optical input.
To reassign the audio input, follow these steps.
At this time, you have reassigned the CABLE/TV 5 input label from tracking the Analog 5 input to the Optical 4 input.
Please note that when using a TOS-Link interconnect, ADA strongly suggests using the very best interconnect available to prevent audio dropouts.
1 Turn the input knob until displays second line reads CABLE/TV 5 and then press the Input
knob.
2 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads SETUP MENU and press
the Mode knob.
3 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the displays second line reads AUDIO INPUTS and press
the Mode knob.
4 Turn the Mode knob counterclockwise until the displays second line reads OPTICAL 4.

If you are using a CD Player with either TOS-Link Optical or Coaxial digital audio outputs, you can connect this component to the Cinema Reference Mach II for digital audio playback. When connect­ing a CD Player to an analog input, the audio signal is first converted to analog internal to the CD player and then the signal is converted back to digital internal to the Cinema Reference Mach II. As such, it is best to bypass this down/up conversion by connecting the CD player directly to a digital input on the Cinema Reference.
To maintain the most flexible Out of the Box setup, ADA suggests using a TOS-Link connection from the CD Player to the Cinema Reference. In the event, that your CD Player does not feature, a TOS­Link Output, you can opt to use one of the four Digital Coaxial inputs on the Cinema Reference, providing these inputs are not already assigned to other source input labels. You will need to assess the other connections you have already made, as well as those you will make in the upcoming pages, to determine which Digital Coaxial input is open. If you have connected a DSS receiver to the Cinema Reference using a TOS-Link interconnect, then Digital Coaxial Input #2 is available for use with the CD Player.

If you are connecting an older video game which only fea­tures analog audio outputs, you will need to reassign the VIDEO GAME input label to track an open analog audio jack. As the Cinema Refer­ence Mach IIs Out of the Box setup uses all available ana­log inputs, an open input may be available depending on the number of devices you have connected to the unit. For ex­ample, if you changed your CD Player connection to a digital input, then Analog input #6 is available for connection of the video game.

The Out of the Box in­put configuration for a Computer provides for digital coaxial audio as well as a VGA video connection. Connect your Digital audio out­put to Digital input #4. Connect the VGA out­put of your PC to the Cinema Reference Mach IIs VGA input #1 (providing that your DVD is not already connected to this VGA input).

Phonograph Connection

The Out of the Box input configuration for a phonograph (record player) is on Analog Input 1, providing this input has not been already used for the connection of a Camcorder. Alternately, you may opt to use Analog 2 (Multi-Room System) or any other open analog input. Please note, that this would require you to change the audio input assignment for the PHONOGRPH Input label. ADA has pur­posely included a phonograph connection in the Out of the Box setup, because we believe you will be amazed from the sound you experience when playing your vinyl in either Quad Bypass mode, Pro Logic II Music mode, or a Pro Logic II Custom mode.
If your phonograph does not have a built-in phono­preamplifier (most players do not), you will require an external phono-preamplifier such as ADAs PP-1200 Phono Preamp. The output of the phonograph con­nects to the input on the PP-1200. The PP-1200’s output connects to the Cinema Reference Mach II.

Laserdisc Player with Internal RF Demodulator

The Out of the Box input configuration for a Laserdisc player has several different options depending on the type of laser disc player you are using. The most current laser disc players feature an internal AC-3 RF demodulator which is necessary to play Dolby Digital laser discs in a Dolby Digital mode. As such, these players permit a single digital audio connection for playback of two-channel (PCM digital audio), Dolby Digital, and even DTS laser discs (DTS discs are encoded in PCM digital audio and do not require an RF demodulator). If your laserdisc player features an AC-3 RF Output, use the instruc­tions on the following page.

Laserdisc Player with only an AC-3 RF Output

The Cinema Reference Mach II features an input label for connection to an AC-3 RF demodulator, needed for laserdisc players that have a Dolby Digital AC-3 RF output. Some players manufactured after 1994 feature this output while others may have been modified with an additional AC-3 RF Output (MSB Technologies provided this modification). These players require an external AC-3 RF demodu­lator (ADA’s RFD-1) for playback of Dolby Digital (a.k.a. AC-3) laserdiscs using Dolby Digital decod- ing. Here, the laserdiscs AC-3 RF output is passed into the RFD-1 and then to an open digital coaxial input on the Cinema Reference Mach II. You need to use one of the four digital coax inputs for connection to the RFD-1.
The Out of the Box configura­tion for the LASER AC3 input label is the Digital 2 coaxial

Here, an audio signal is modulated onto a mono FM radio frequency. There is a mono FM channel for left and another for right. Those who viewed laser discs prior to the mid-1980s, listened to the analog channels as the digital channels did not yet exist.

In 1994, when Dolby Laboratories introduced AC-3 (now called Dolby Digital) for the home theater market, they decided that it would be best to include the AC-3 multi-channel digital bit stream on every laserdisc pressed (rather than release a special-order laserdisc). Because all players since the mid­80s read the digital PCM channels (rendering the mono-FM channels obsolete), Dolby decided to use one of these two antiquated mono-FM channels to embed (or modulate) the AC-3 bit stream. Thus, in order to decode the AC-3 bit stream from a laserdisc, one must first demodulate the mono-FM channel to extract the bit stream. In essence, the RFD-1 is a radio-frequency tuner (demodulator), hence the terminology-RFD. As the mono-FM signal passes through the RFD-1, the AC-3 bit stream is demodu­lated, emerging from the RFD-1 as a Dolby Digital signal, the exact same output as that of a DVD player.

To connect the Cinema Reference Mach II to your video display or line-doubler, first determine what connections your device has. Generally speaking, this section will discuss the following three options: an HD capable TV or projector, a line-doubler, or a TV or projector with only composite and S-Video inputs.
HD Capable TV or Projector
With this type of display de­vice, you will most likely have a host of video inputs. As no line-doubler device is present with this type of system, you can opt to use the line-doubler built into the Cinema Refer­ence Mach II. This doubler also acts as an up-convertor for composite video and S­Video inputs. As such, there is no need to connect either composite or S-Video cables to the TV/projector as these signals are up-converted (and doubled) internal to the Cin­ema Reference Mach II and come out of the VGA/HDTV Processed output. This is in addition to any VGA/RGBHV inputs to the Cinema Refer­ence Mach II. The only addi­tional connection that is re­quired is the component video connection because the Cin­ema References internal dou­bler/up-convertor does not do anything to the component video inputs.
The only additional connection that can be made is the composite video output of the Cinema Refer­ence Mach II marked OSD. This output provides On Screen Display which may be useful during setup.
As such, in this installation, when the display device is set to the composite video input, you will be able to utilize the Cinema References on-screen readout during setup. Then for normal operation, select either the VGA/HDTV input for VGA/RGBHV sources, S-Video sources, and even composite video sources. For component video sources, such as DVD players or video games, set the TV/ projector to the component video input.
Line-Doublers
While you cannot see anything on a line-doubler, they are used to both up-convert, scale, and double (or even quadruple) the incoming source signals. In high-end home theater installations, use of this type of device between the Cinema Reference Mach II and the TV or projector is quite common. Please note, that as you switch between inputs on the Cinema Reference, you may also need to switch between inputs on your line-doubler.

the built-in line-doubler/up­convertor internal to the Cin­ema Reference Mach II. Use the Un-Processed VGA/ HDTV output for RGBHV/VGA sources connected to the Cin­ema Reference You will also need to run separate feeds to the line-doubler for composite video, S-Video, and compo­nent video. If your line-dou-
bler has two composite video inputs, you can connect the Cinema Reference Mach IIs Main 1 video output to the line-doubler’s video input #1, while the Cinema References OSD composite video output is connected to the line­doublers video input #2. When on video input #2, you will see the OSD useful during setup. For viewing composite video sources (cable TV), you would switch the line-doubler to video input #1, the same composite video signal without the OSD. In the event your line-doubler does not have two composite video inputs, you can connect the OSD output during setup and then replace it with the non-OSD composite video signal.
Basic (Non-HDTV) TVs and Projectors
When using a more basic TV or projector, you will need to closely examine the type of video inputs available. For discussion purposes, the diagram does show a component video input however, this connection will not exist on most TVs capable of both composite and S-Video. Remember that for this level of display device, there is no up or down conversion available. As such, if your TV only features composite and S-Video inputs, any sources that are solely connected to the Cinema Reference Mach II with either component or HDTV/VGA, will not play to the TV. Naturally, if the TV also features the
component video input, it will display sources connected to the Cinema Reference via component video. As with
other display devices men-
