AC Connections
Before You Begin
As you remove the Cinema Reference 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 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.

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. Since ADA
tests each unit prior to
shipping, if the Voltage
Selector Switch is in the
correct position, the Cinema
Reference’s safety fuse will
also be the correct value.

Caution
Before plugging your Cinema Reference into an AC outlet, check
the Voltage Selector Switch setting, located on the units left side
(when looking at the Cinema Reference from the front) 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.

If you are altering the Voltage
Selector Switch, you will also
most likely need to change the
safety fuse. Both the Voltage
Selector Switch and the Safety
Fuse are located on the
Cinema Reference’s left side
(when viewed from the front.)

Fuse Values
For U.S. customers or international customers also operating on a
115V AC system, the fuse value of the Cinema Reference should be
a 1 Amp Slow Blow fuse. For international customers operating on
a 230V AC system, the fuse value should be 1/2 Amp Slow Blow.
The safety fuse is located next to the Voltage selector switch on the
Cinema Reference’s left side (when viewing it from the front.) Typically, if you receive the Cinema Reference with the voltage selector
already set correctly for your local voltage system, the corresponding fuse value has also been inserted to match the voltage setting.
If you are altering the Voltage Selector Switch setting, you will need
to also replace the fuse with the appropriate value fuse.

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. 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.

Power Amplifier (& Powered Subwoofer) Connections
Audio Connections
The Cinema Reference’s Audio Outputs are clearly marked in a white field on the back of the Cinema
Reference. ADA strongly suggests not using directional interconnects that lift the grounds. If you are
connecting the audio outputs to a six channel power amplifier (which will also power the subwoofer),
use the diagram below. This diagram includes ADA’s critically acclaimed PTM-6150 Six Channel THX
Power Amplifier. While you may decide to vary the input arrangement if you are using a PTM-6150,
the following input arrangement will cause the amplifier’s front panel LED display to spread outward
from Channel 3, 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-6150, you may opt to “Y” split the SUB output so as to illuminate channel six of the PTM-6150.
Amplifier AC Connections
The Cinema Reference incorporates a switched AC outlet which is rated at 10 Amps. This is powerful
enough for ADA’s PTM-6150 Six Channel THX Power Amplifier. 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 MPA-500 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, 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.

Introduction - Front Panel Controls & Displays
Overview
The Cinema Reference is
factory set for optimum
operation. This section
details the front panel features
of the Cinema Reference. All
component functions can be
operated through the five
control knobs located on the
units front panel. The three
front panel displays are also
explained in this section.

Welcome

The Cinema Reference is the world’s most advanced audio video
surround sound preamplifier. It is also configured “Out Of The
Box” for optimum operation. While it is designed to be easy to
setup and operate, ADA strongly recommends spending some time
familiarizing yourself with the units many functions and features. For
those who wish to customize their home theater system, the Cinema Reference is also equipped to be configured to operate ideally
in almost any environment and with many varying source components. While the connection of components and accessories are
discussed in the following sections, this area will explain the front
panel features and basic operation commands of the Cinema
Reference’s front panel. The text found in italic type in this manual’s
margins will act as a quick reference when reviewing these materials.

The Cinema Reference 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 providing Lucasfilm
THX enhancements and filters to Dolby Digital & Pro Logic. While the Cinema Reference 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. The Cinema Reference
also provides several additional modes ideal for music playback. There are additional settings that
permit the Cinema Reference to also operate in home theaters where a full six channel speaker array
may only be partially implemented (i.e. no subwoofer and/or no center channel). Furthermore, the
Cinema Reference 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.

Once the Cinema Reference is
on, turning the Volume knob
will only raise or lower the
system’s volume level. This is
considered the Master Volume
Control as it will adjust all six
channels of volume, maintaining the balance of levels that
are preset between channels.

Volume Reference
Since the home theater could
have as many as six different
Front View
volume levels, one for each of
the six channels, ADA uses the
highest volume level of the five main channels (not the sub) as the
reference level on the display. For example, if the volume levels for
Left, Left Surround, Right, and Right Surround are set to -10dB, the
subwoofer is set to -2dB, and the Center channel is set at -5dB, the
Volume level for ALL will indicate -5dB.

Upper Volume Limit
As the Cinema Reference closes in on the upper volume limit of
+10.0dB, all channels will raise to that limit stopping when the first of
the main five channels ceilings out at +10.0dB.

Lower Volume Limit
When the first channel reaches the lower volume limit of -96dB, all
other channels will stop lowering in volume level. Hitting either the
lower or upper volume limits will not alter the balance between channels.

in Mute, pressing the Volume
knob a second time will turn
the Cinema Reference off.
Un-Mute
While the Cinema Reference is

Power On/Off Via AC Control
If the Cinema Reference is on
when it is unplugged or when
power is removed through the
use of an AC Controller, it will
also automatically turn back
on when power is restored.

The Cinema Reference permits you to scroll to the next input without having all of the components you are passing actively process
through the Cinema Reference. 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 DISC).

Mode Indicators & How They Function
The Cinema Reference features six indicators on the left side of its
front panel. They provide a visual indication of decoding mode, the
presence of an LFE (“.1” of “5.1”), and if a digital input is accessed.
While you can manually select modes, these indicators are an ideal
way to determine status when the Cinema Reference is in the “AutoMode Detection” state.
Three of the indicators are used to provide
status of the decoding mode, Dolby Pro
Logic, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DTS. Typically, only one of these indicators is on at
any one time. If a mode other than a Dolby
or DTS mode is selected, none of the indicators will be lit.
In the event you are playing a two-channel
digital source that was encoded in AC-3 (i.e.
an older movie on a DVD), the Cinema
Reference will engage both Dolby Digital
decoding to extract the from the DVD and
then Dolby Pro Logic to decode the two
channel mix for playback. Both indicators will be on in this case.
The Cinema Reference also permits the
addition of full-blown THX enhancements to
Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic decoding formats. When THX is selected to
enhance these modes, the indicator will be lit.

Please note, the Cinema Reference does not detect the presence of
THX as it is not an encoded process but rather a filtering process.
THX certification to video tapes, laser discs, and DVDs is intended
to ensure that the material was properly mixed and transferred and
does not directly relate to the THX certification of the Cinema Reference. To engage either full-blown THX or THX Re-EQ, you must do
so manually on the Cinema Reference.
The Cinema Reference has two additional
indicators that detail information for digital
sources. The Digital indicator will illuminate when a digital input is accessed. The
LFE indicator will light up if the digital source
DIGITAL
LFE
material has an independent six channel
encoded in it for bass or “Low Frequency Effects” (LFE). If a source
material (i.e. AC-3 or DTS CD, Laserdisc or DVD), is truly “5.1” ( “.1”
being the LFE or subwoofer signal), the LFE indicator will light up.

Page 8

DIGITAL

LFE

Mode Indicators
The Cinema Reference
features three mode
indicators that illuminate
when either Dolby Digital
(AC-3), Dolby Pro Logic, or
DTS decoding formats are
engaged. Typically, only one
of these three indicators are
on at any one time. However,
when playing a digitally
formatted source material (i.e.
DVD) of an older movie that is
only mixed with two-channel
audio, both the Dolby Digital
and Dolby Pro Logic will
illuminate indicating that both
decoding formats are being
implemented. If a decoding
mode other than DTS, Pro
Logic, or Dolby Digital is
selected, none of the
indicators will be on.
THX Enhancements
The THX indicator will
illuminate only when TXH has
been selected in conjunction
with Dolby Digital, DTS, or
Dolby Pro Logic modes. THX
is not auto-detected but must
be intentionally engaged.
Digital & LFE Indicators
The Digital indicator will be lit
when a digital input is
selected. The LFE indicator
will be lit when a digital input
contains a distinct subwoofer
signal (only in DTS & AC-3).

In the AC-3 Ultra mode, the
dialogue normalization takes
place in the Cinema
Reference’s analog domain
and not in the digital domain.
Other AC-3 modes provide
dialogue normalization in the
digital domain by discarding
bits of data.

The Cinema Reference provides 22 modes for film, television, and
music playback. This section will detail these modes and their functions. Because the Cinema Reference

Dolby Digital Modes (AC-3)
Line Mode & RF Mod Mode - Dolby Digital AC-3 applies dynamic
range compression in one of two forms, Line Mode or RF Mod Mode.
Only AC-3 Night mode utilizes the RF Mod Mode for dynamic range
compression. Both AC-3 Standard and AC-3 Max modes utilize the
Line Mode for dynamic range compression. The difference between
these two modes the preset HDR and LDR scaling factors. The AC3 Ultra mode does not use either the RF Mod or Line modes for
dynamic range compression.
HDR & LDR Scale Factors - Dolby Digital AC-3 decoding has the
option to engage a high level dynamic range (HDR) and low level
dynamic range (LDR). The range of the scale is from “0” or Full Off
to “1” or Full On in increments of “.05”. As the LDR (low level scale)
setting is increased, the softer sounds (lower) are raised, such as
whispers. As the HDR (high level scale) is increased the louder
sounds (higher) are lowered. Thus, setting these scales up or to
Full On (settings of “1”), will narrow the volume range such that the
explosions are not too loud and the whispers are not too soft.

Ultra Maximum Dynamic Range
- This is the most dynamic of all
LASER/DVD 1
the AC-3 modes in that dialogue
AC3
ULTRA
normalization takes place in the
Cinema Reference’s analog domain rather than the digital domain. When dialogue normalization
takes place in the digital domain, it is processed by discarding bits
of data which may not be optimal. AC-3 Ultra mode reads information flags contained in the DVD or laser disc and uses these software specific parameters to set the dialogue normalization after digital
processing takes place. The HDR and LDR scales are preset at “0”
(Full Off) but can be scaled individually.

Dolby Digital Modes (AC-3) - cont.
Normal Dynamic Range - This
mode engages the AC-3 “Line
Mode” coupled with the High Level
(HDR) and Low Level (LDR) resolution factors preset to “255” or Full
On. While the option of Line Mode
is fixed, the HDR & LDR factors
can be scaled.
Maximum Dynamic Range - This
mode uses the AC-3 Line Mode
setting as found in AC3 Standard,
however the HDR and LDR factors are fixed at “0” or Full Off. For
play back of films, this mode may
be preferred over AC3 Ultra in that
some compression schemes are
designed to recreate the movie
theater environment in the home.

LASER/DVD 1
AC3 STANDARD

AC3 STANDARD Mode
This mode offers normal
dialogue normalization
coupled with full on/variable
HDR & LDR scaling.

MAX

AC3 MAX Mode
This mode offers maximum
dynamic range for dialogue
normalization taking place in
the digital domain.

Minimum Dynamic Range - This
mode uses the AC-3 RF Mod
Mode setting. Also, the HDR and
LDR factors are fixed at “255” or
Full On. This mode is ideal when
viewing a film at a time were the
bangs may be too louder or the
softer sounds too low. In AC3
Night, the audio range is narrowed
between loud and soft sounds.

the front three channels. Typically,
films are mixed with the front three
channels adjusted to compensate for the film screen they need to
project through. Re-EQ compensates for this factor in the home.
AC-3 Mono Mode - This mode
down mixes AC-3 into the center

LASER/DVD 1
DTS CINEMA

DTS Direct Mode - Much like
Dolby Digital AC-3, DTS is a 5.1
digitally encoded matrix. This
mode provides DTS decoding.
Please note, that most DTS software, in the form of CDs and Laser Discs, do not contain any standard two channel audio tracks. If
you are playing DTS software and
are getting nothing but noise, you
are most likely not in a DTS decoding mode. Please note, in the
Pro Setup Menu, the delays, bass
limiter, and THX enhancements
are disabled and are controlled by
the main processor. This mode is
the purist of all DTS modes as it
was designed to deliver 5.1 playback as DTS has intended.

DTS Cinema Mode - This mode
provides DTS decoding with the
enhancements from the Cinema
Reference’s delay and bass management settings. Please note,
most DTS software that is encoded onto PCM audio channels
(DTS CD’s and Laser Discs) do not
contain any standard two channel
audio tracks. If you are playing
DTS software and are getting
nothing by noise, you are most
likely not in a DTS decoding mode.

Pro Logic & Auto Modes
Dolby Pro Logic Mode - This
mode is used for most film or TV
source materials that are not encoded in either Dolby Digital or
DTS. Pro Logic uses a 2-channel audio mix and plays back a
center channel mix and surround
channel mix in addition to the
right and left audio channels.
Pro Logic THX Mode - This
mode provides full THX enhancements to source materials
encoded in Dolby Surround.
With Dolby Surround encoded
materials, timbre match and
decorrelization assist in providing some degree of channel
separation to the surround
speakers.
THX Re-Equalization Only This mode is used to provide
partial THX enhancements focused on the adjustment of
sound levels for the front three
channels. Typically, films are
mixed with the front three channels adjusted to compensate for
the film screen they need to

STEREO ENH Mode
This is a proprietary mode
ideal for playback of signals
with limited stereo separation
such as TV broadcasts and
poorly mixed video tapes.

MONO EHN Mode
This mode is ideal for
playback of mono only mixes
as it will utilize the entire
speaker array.

Record Selector
The Record Selector operates
independently from the main
output providing the ability to
record, view, or play (in
another room) a component
other than the one selected in
the home theater.
To determine which device is
currently selected, press the
Record Selector knob. To
change components:

1.
Dial In New Device
Turn the Record Selector knob
until the second line of the
LCD display reads the
component you wish to
select.
2.
Engage New Device
Once the second line of the
display indicates the next
component you wish to
access, press the Input
Record knob to engage this
input.

The Cinema Reference 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 on tuning mechanism (i.e. DSS receiver, TV tuner, or VCR TV tuner). While the
primary viewing surface would be set to display a particular channel
from one device (i.e. DSS receiver), the additional TV or monitor
could be set to display the image of the TV Tuner in the VCR.
3
Use the Record Selector to determine the image inserted
into a TV’s 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.
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

Rear Panel Inputs & Outputs
The Cinema Reference’s rear panel connections provide ample component connectors (inputs) for a wide variety of equipment. The following pages show the factory default “Out Of The Box” input settings for the Cinema Reference. When proceeding to connect your
components to the Cinema Reference, ADA suggests using these
settings, however, you may also select to customize your Cinema
Reference to provide any type of input combination. As a reminder,
the Cinema Reference is preprogrammed for optimum operation right
“Out Of The Box”.
Before you proceed, it will be useful to determine what type of components you intend to connect to the Cinema Reference. Once you
have selected the components, you will want to determine what connectors these devices feature and how to best connect them to the
Cinema Reference. If you are uncertain as to what jacks to use,
ADA suggests contacting your local Authorized ADA Retailer or Custom Installation Professional for technical support. Should you have
any questions on the Cinema Reference, you can receive factory
support by calling Audio Design Associates, Inc. at 1-800-43-AUDIO
(1-800-432-8346), between the hours of 9am-5pm, eastern time,
Monday-Friday.

All rear panel connections are
clearly marked such that all
inputs are situated in a black
field which is bordered and
labeled in white and all
outputs are on a white field
labeled in black. Each type of
area is designated by input
type.

As a starting point, ADA suggests using the “Out Of The Box” configuration to begin making your source connections. If the “Out Of
The Box” setup needs further modification to perfectly customize your
home theater system, the Cinema Reference also permits “Custom
Setup” that allows for hundreds of potential setups.

Out Of The Box Setup
The “Out Of The Box” Setup
uses the Cinema Reference’s
default setup program. Since
not all source components
have the same audio outputs,
this section offers different
connection possibilities to
take into consideration the
many component
connections.
To best proceed with the
connection of your
components, simply examine
the units that you have and
compare the component’s
output jack to the illustration.
Please note, that the Cinema
Reference’s “Out Of The Box”
setup is designed for quick
and easy connection of the
most common source
components used in today’s
home theater systems. Thus,
this setup does not optimize
all of the audio inputs since a
CD player, second laser disc
player, or DSS receiver may
feature a digital output. If all
three devices offered a digital
output, you would be able to
bypass these components
analog connections noted in
the “Out Of The Box” setup
and have three additional
analog inputs available for
other devices. If the video
game or computer were to
also offer a digital output, you
could then connect as many
as fifteen devices to the
cinema reference.
The chart on the following
page details the “Out Of The
Box” Setup.

The Cinema Reference is preprogrammed to permit quick and easy
connection of your audio and video components. This section details the options available taking into consideration that not all source
components have each and every output jack present. Since the
Cinema Reference is fully equipped with an abundance of audio
inputs of varying types: 8 Analog R&L Stereo (RCA) Inputs, 4 Digital
Coax (RCA), 3 TOS-Link Digital Optical Inputs, and 2 Laser Disc
AC-3 RF Inputs (RCA), the “Out Of The Box” configuration should
cover most any home theater system.
Please note, the Cinema Reference is also fully programmable.
Should you care to customize your system, you can do so by following the items in the section titled “Custom Setup”.
The Cinema Reference offers fifteen “Input Labels”. An Input Label
is the name of the component followed by a sequence number (i.e.
LASER/DVD 1, LASERDISC 2, DVD PLAYER 3). Each input
label is capable of being customized including the way the components name appears in the display. Again, you can customize the
way the Input Labels read in the “Custom Setup” section of this
manual. During a typical “Out of the Box” setup, you will most likely
use only a portion of the Input Labels that are preprogrammed in the
factory. The input labels appear as follows:

Laser Disc or Combination Laser Disc/DVD Player
The “Out Of The Box” setup
presumes that your
combination laser disc/DVD
player has the following
outputs:

The Cinema Reference is preprogrammed to permit you to easily
connect a combination laser disc & DVD player. You will need to
make two audio connections in for this unit to play the following:
Dolby Digital Laser Discs, Pro Logic Laser Discs, DTS Laser Discs,
Dolby Digital DVDs, 2 Channel Dolby Digital DVDs, Stereo CDs,
and DTS CDs.

Digital Audio PCM/AC-3
Coax (RCA) Type Output

All connections should use a 75 Ohm coaxial cable. If none are
available, standard RCA video interconnects will work.

AC-3•RF Output (LD)

Connection 1 - Laser Disc Player’s AC-3 RF Output - You will need
to connect the combi-players “AC-3•RF Output” (LD for Laser Disc)
to the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player #1 “RF IN”. This connects the laser disc’s AC-3 RF output to the Cinema Reference’s
internal AC-3 RF Demodulator.

Video Output
(Composite RCA Type)
Your combi-player may also
include a super video output.
Please note, the Cinema
Reference does not cross mix
video signals. As such, if you
wish to use a component’s SVideo output, you will need to
connect an S-Video cable
from the Cinema Reference to
the TV or Projector.
Use the diagram on the
following page to make your
combi-player connections.
ADA suggests using a quality
75Ω Coaxial cable. In the
event that none are available,
you can use standard RCA
interconnects.
If your combi-player does not
have an RCA Type Digital
Audio PCM/AC-3 Coax output
but rather has only an Optical
Digital PCM/AC-3 output, you
will need to change the
programming for this input.
These steps are discussed at
the bottom of the following
page.

Connection 2 - Cinema Reference’s RF Demodulator’s Output - You
will need to connect the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player’s
Digital Output (Black RCA Connector) to the Cinema Reference’s
#4 Digital Audio Input (Orange RCA Connector). This “Laser Disc
AC-3 Loop Cable” passes the demodulated laser disc AC-3 signal
to a digital audio input which will then decode it.
Connection 3 - Laser Disc Player’s PCM/AC-3 Digital Output - You
will need to connect the combi-players digital output that is marked
by both PCM and AC-3 to the Cinema Reference’s #1 Digital Audio
Input (Orange RCA Connector). This input will pass audio for all
AC-3 playback from a laser disc.
Connection 4 - Laser Disc Player’s Video Output - You will need to
connect the laser disc player’s video output (Composite Video) to
the Cinema Reference’s #1 Video Input.
Connection 5 (Optional) - Laser Disc Player’s S-Video Output - You
may also choose to connect the S-Video (Super Video) output of
the laser disc player to the Cinema Reference S-Video #1 input.
This will require a special super video cable. Please note, if your
projector or TV does not have a super video input, you will not need
to make this connection as the Cinema Reference does not cross
convert S-Video to Composite Video.
The diagram to the right details all of these connections. If your
combi-player does not have an RCA style digital audio output for
PCM/AC-3, it may have an optical digital audio output for PCM/AC3 playback. In this case you will need to alter the LASER/DVD 1

Laser Disc Player without a Digital Output (or 2nd Laser)
The “Out Of The Box” setup
presumes that for the
LASERDISC input, you wish
to connect a laser disc player
that does not have either a
digital coax or digital optical
audio output. You can also
use this input for a second
laser disc player that has a
digital audio output however
you will need to custom
program this input using the
steps discussed on the
bottom of the following page.
For laser disc players that do
not have a digital audio
output, you will use the
following laser disc outputs
Stereo Audio (R&L) Output
AC-3•RF Output (LD)
(May or May Not Exist)
Video Output
(Composite RCA Type)
Your laser disc player may
also include an S-Video
output. Please note, the
Cinema Reference does not
cross mix video signals. As
such, if you wish to use a
component’s S-Video output,
you will need to connect an SVideo cable from the Cinema
Reference to the TV or
Projector.
Use the diagram on the
following page to make your
laser disc player connections.
ADA suggests using a quality
75Ω Coaxial cable. In the
event that none are available,
you can use standard RCA
interconnects.

The Cinema Reference is preprogrammed to permit you to easily
connect a laser disc player that does not have a digital audio output.
This laser disc may or may not have an AC-3 RF output. If it does
have an AC-3 RF output, you will need to make two audio connections in for this unit to play the following:
Dolby Digital Laser Discs, Pro Logic Laser Discs, and Stereo CDs.
If you are using this input for a second laser disc that has a digital
audio output (to also play DTS laser discs and CDs), you will need
to custom configure this input. This is discussed at the bottom of
the following page.
All connections should use a 75 Ohm coaxial cable. If none are
available, standard RCA video interconnects will work.
Connection 1 - Laser Disc Player’s Stereo Audio Output - You will
need to connect the laser disc player’s stereo (analog) audio output
(R&L RCA type) to the Cinema Reference’s Audio Input #2.
Connection 2 - Laser Disc Player’s Video Output - You will need to
connect the laser disc player’s video output (Composite Video) to
the Cinema Reference’s #2 Video Input.
Connection 3 (Optional) - Laser Disc Player’s AC-3 RF Output - You
will need to connect the Laser disc players “AC-3•RF Output” (LD
for Laser Disc) to the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player #2 “RF
IN”. This connects the laser disc’s AC-3 RF output to the Cinema
Reference’s internal AC-3 RF Demodulator.
Connection 4 (Must Accompany Step 3, May already be in place if
you also connected a laser disc or combi-player as described on the
previous page) - Cinema Reference’s RF Demodulator’s Output You will need to connect the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player’s
Digital Output (Black RCA Connector) to the Cinema Reference’s
#4 Digital Audio Input (Orange RCA Connector). This “Laser Disc
AC-3 Loop Cable” passes the demodulated laser disc AC-3 signal
to a digital audio input which will then decode it.
If this is a second laser disc player, chances are it may have a digital
audio input, either Coax (RCA) or optical (TOS-Link). You will most
likely wish to connect this laser disc player to either Digital Input #2
or Optical Input #2 on the Cinema Reference. This would free up
one analog audio input for an eleventh component as the “Out Of
The Box” setup permits for connection of only ten devices (without
going into the “Custom Setup”.)
Follow the steps on the bottom of the next page to alter the audio
input from Analog 2 to either Digital 2 or Optical 2.

DVD Player
The “Out Of The Box” setup
presumes that your DVD
player has the following
outputs:
Digital Audio PCM/AC-3
Coax (RCA) Type Output
Video Output
(Composite RCA Type)
Your DVD Player may also
include a super video output.
Please note, the Cinema
Reference does not cross mix
video signals. As such, if you
wish to use a component’s SVideo output, you will need to
connect an S-Video cable
from the Cinema Reference to
the TV or Projector.
Your DVD Player may also
offer Component Video output
which is the video passed in
an RGB configuration (Y, Cr,
Cb). Component Video, while
offering superior video quality,
cannot be played on all TV’s
or Projectors. As the Cinema
Reference provides no onboard video cross mixing, you
will only need to make these
connections if you are using a
line doubler, TV or projector
that is capable of displaying a
component video image.
Use the diagram on the
following page to make your
DVD player connections. ADA
suggests using a quality 75Ω
Coaxial cable. In the event
that none are available, you
can use standard RCA
interconnects.

The Cinema Reference is preprogrammed to permit you to easily
connect a DVD player. You will need to make only one audio connection to play:
Dolby Digital AC-3 DVDs and Stereo CDs.
All connections should use a 75 Ohm coaxial cable. If none are
available, standard RCA video interconnects will work. In the event
that your DVD player does not have a digital PCM/AC-3 coax (RCA
Type) output, but rather only has an optical TOS-Link output for PCM/
AC-3 playback, you will need to customize the setup using the steps
found at the bottom of the following page.
Connection 1 - DVD Player’s Digital PCM/AC-3 Audio Output - You
will need to connect the DVD player’s digital PCM/AC-3 audio output (coax RCA type) to the Cinema Reference’s Digital Audio Input
#3.
Connection 2 - DVD Player’s Video Output - You will need to connect the DVD player’s video output (Composite Video) to the Cinema Reference’s #3 Video Input.
Connection 3 (Optional) - DVD Player’s S-Video Output - You may
also choose to connect the S-Video (Super Video) output of the DVD
player to the Cinema Reference’s #3 S-Video Input. This will require a special super video cable. Please note, if your projector or
TV does not have a super video input, you will not need to make this
connection as the Cinema Reference does not cross convert S-Video
to Composite Video.
Connection 4 (Optional) - DVD Player’s Component Video Output You may also choose to connect the DVD player’s component video
output to the Cinema Reference. Please note, that not all DVD
player’s offer this type of output. Furthermore, not all TV’s and projectors have this type of input. You will only wish to make this connection if you are using a line-doubler or a TV/Projector that offers a
component video input. Please note, all three connections, Y, Cr,
and Cb, need to be in place for a proper picture.
If your DVD player does not have an RCA Type Digital Audio PCM/
AC-3 Coax output but rather has only an Optical Digital PCM/AC-3
output, you will need to change the programming for this input. These
steps are discussed at the bottom of the following page. If you are
going to connect the DVD player using an optical input , you should
proceed to connect the DVD’s optical output to the Cinema
Reference’s #3 Optical Input. Then proceed with the instructions on
the following page.

Record Output Connections
The Cinema Reference
features a “Record Output”
that can select a component
independently from the main
theater’s component
selection. Thus it is possible
to record from one
component to another (i.e.
DSS to VCR) while you are
viewing a third component
(i.e. DVD).

Typically, you will use the diagram below to connect the Cinema
Reference’s Record Output to either a VCR or Cassette (or other
type of) Recorder. If you wish to pass audio and video to the VCR
and audio only to the Cassette, you will need to provide RCA “Y”
Splitters which will then enable both connection of the VCR and
Cassette. Some components may not be properly grounded. When
these devices are connected to other devices using “Y” splitters,
you may begin to hear some background hum or noise. If this is the
case, you may wish to proceed with the connection of only one of
the recording devices. Otherwise, please consult with your Authorized ADA Dealer.

Connection To Your TV, Projector, or Line-Doubler
The Cinema Reference offers
several video outputs. If your
video display device (TV) or
display system (projector, line
doubler) offers a component
or RGB type of input, you may
connect the Cinema
Reference’s Component Video
Output in addition to at the
Composite Video and Super
Video Outputs. Please note,
the Cinema Reference does
not provide cross video
mixing and as such, each type
of video input requires its own
video output connection to
your display device.

Video
Input

When connecting the Cinema Reference to your display device, you
will need to make these connections in order of priority: 1st - Composite (RCA) Video, 2nd S-Video, and 3rd Component Video (RGB)
Composite Video
The Cinema Reference has three main Video Outputs (RCA Composite). VIDEO OUT 1 & 2 are identical and provide standard composite video. The OSD VIDEO OUT offers, in addition to standard
composite video (like 1 & 2), an on-screen-display overlay that appears when a function is selected on the Cinema Reference. This
OSD readout is useful during setup and when the Cinema Reference is out of visual range from the seating area.
S-Video
If you wish to view super video, you will need to make this connection to your TV or Projector.
Component Video (RGB or HDTV)
Component Video is currently only available on better model DVD
players. The video signal consists of Y, Cr, and Cb. If your TV,
monitor, projector, or line doubler (tripler or quadrupler) offer an RGB
or Component Video input, you can proceed to make these connections.

Audio Setup
The Cinema Reference has been calibrated in the factory for optimum operation. Thus you can at this time decide to run your system with just minor adjustments to the Master Volume Control (center knob).
However, since not all speaker configurations and rooms are the
same, you may desire to alter the channel balance and delay settings to better suit your home theater system. If you are unfamiliar
with the process of home theater level calibration and the use of an
SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level meter), ADA strongly suggests
contacting an Authorized ADA Dealer for assistance prior to proceeding.
The Cinema Reference features an internal Pink Noise generator
which is used to determine signal level to each speaker. In order to
best proceed with the remainder of this page’s setup instructions, it
is recommended that you use an SPL meter.
The Cinema Reference incorporates two Volume Presets. Both presets are loaded with ADA’s factory default settings for all channels
and all inputs set to -25.0 dB. This level is not to high and you can
always alter the level by simply raising the Master Volume control.
To best calibrate your system:
1

Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL RECALL 1 and press the CHANNEL knob.

Turn on your SPL meter to the 70-80 dB range, Slow, C
Weighted setting.

Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads NOISE TEST
and press the CHANNEL knob. The top line of the display should read NOISE ALL and the second line should
read ALL -25.0 dB. You should also hear very light pink
noise from all of the speakers.

Press the CHANNEL knob. Using your SPL meter, slowly
turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise, raising the level of
the pink noise test until the SPL meter reads approximately
75 dB.

Press the CHANNEL knob again. Turn the CHANNEL knob
clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE LEFT
and then press the CHANNEL knob.

Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) the left
channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75 dB and
then press the CHANNEL knob.

Page 34

The Cinema Reference comes
preprogrammed “Out Of The
Box’ ready to play. Unless
you are going to use an SPL
meter to calibrate your
system, proceed with the
setup as described on page
33 - step 14.
If you are using an SPL meter,
you will first want to set the
pink noise level for all of the
channels to 75 dB.
You will then look to lower
your master volume to a safe
level as 0.0 dB may be too
bright. ADA suggests
reducing the master Volume
to at least -15 dB.
At this time you will want to
load the current volume level
and the individual channel
levels to each other, into
Volume Preset 1. This will
preserve the balance of the
individual speakers.

Audio Setup - Continued
As you proceed to go through
pink noise sweeps, the only
knob you will need to work is
the Cinema Reference’s
Channel knob. This knob not
only selects noise modes but
also noise channels and then
the adjustment of the
channels. Jumping to the
master Volume control will
take you out of the noise
mode.

Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE CENTER and then press the CHANNEL knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise)
the center channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75
dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.

Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE RIGHT and then press the CHANNEL
knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) the
right channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75 dB
and then press the CHANNEL knob.

Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE R SURR and then press the CHANNEL knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise)
the right surround channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75 dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.

10 Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE L SURR and then press the CHANNEL
knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) the
left surround channel’s pink noise level to approximately
75 dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.
11 Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE L/R SR and then press the CHANNEL
knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) both
surround channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75
dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.
12 Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE SUB and then press the CHANNEL
knob. Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) the
subwoofer channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75
dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.
At this time you have calibrated the pink noise to THX specifications
and the Cinema Reference’s channel calibration should read near
0.0 dB for all of the channels. Please note, that this volume level is
extremely high and may be to loud for your comfort and enjoyment.
At this time, ADA suggests turning the Master VOLUME control down
to at least -15.0 dB.
13 To preserve the levels that you have just tuned, turn the
CHANNEL knob to VOL RECALL 1. Press and Hold the
CHANNEL knob until the display flashes VOL STORED
1.

Page 35

Audio Setup - Continued
14 Turn the INPUT knob to a component that is typically hotter
than other components (i.e. a DVD disc, laser disc, or
CD) and begin to play that component. Raise or lower
the master VOLUME knob to suit your listening level.
When you have reached a desired level, turn the CHANNEL knob to VOL RECALL 1 and press and hold the
CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL STORED 1.
At this time you have programmed the Cinema Reference’s Volume
Preset #1 to levels that are consistent with the pink noise test sweeps
(if done) and this preset corresponds to a listening level comfortable
with respect to your listening environment.
Bass Volume Presets - While the five main channels should be set
to the same level as you select from one source to another, ADA has
experienced that the subwoofer level for different components and
decoding modes can be significantly different. As such, a bass level
for one input might need to be lower for another input. The Cinema
Reference is equipped to handle this issue as each input can have
its own bass level setting stored into VOL PRESET 1. To set the
bass level for all other inputs, you will need to select each input one
at a time, adjust the bass level to taste and load it into the preset.
15 Turn the INPUT knob to the next device and engage the component into play.
16 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the second line of the display
reads SUB and a number. Press the CHANNEL knob.
17 Raise and lower the CHANNEL knob and the subwoofer will
go up and down in volume. When you have a desired
subwoofer level, press the CHANNEL knob.
18 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL RECALL 1. Press and hold the CHANNEL knob until the
display reads VOL STORED 1.
19 Proceed with steps 15-18 until all active inputs have been
calibrated.

Page 36

The Cinema Reference is
capable of setting different
bass levels for each one your
components. While the main
five channels levels remain
the same, each input would
engage a different bass level.
This permits you to contour
the bass sound based on the
source component, the
decoding mode, and the
software. As different
decoding modes and their
software have varying levels
of bass, you will find this
feature very useful.
Note:
In order to load in a bass level
for each one of your
components, you will need to
select that component and
then adjust its bass level while
the unit is in play. After you
have set a bass level you like,
you will need to load the
current volume setting into
the Volume Preset #1, using
the same steps that were
required to load the preset on
the previous pages.

Custom Setup - A/V Linking
The Cinema Reference can be
custom configured, permitting
you to link any Analog, Video,
S-Video, Component Video,
and LASER AC-3 RF (RF
Inputs are discussed on the
next page) input jack to a
particular Input Label. You
can also modify or completely
change the name of an Input
Label. And finally, under Pro
Setup, you can even limit the
number of Input Labels that
appear as you turn the INPUT
knob. While this is discussed
further under Pro Setup, if
you wish to fully customize
your Cinema Reference, such
that you only see the number
of devices you are using, you
will first need to:
A
Determine the number
of components you are
connecting to your Cinema
Reference and set the Final
Input limit to correspond to
this number (see Pro Setup).
B
Now that you have the
exact number of Input Labels
you need, you will most likely
need to alter the Input Labels
as some of the names may
not be displayed exactly as
you wish them to. (See next
page - Altering Input Labels)
C
Once you have the
Input Labels sequencing in
order as you wish them to,
you may also need to alter the
audio and video connections
linked to this input label.
These steps are discussed in
the paragraph to the left
(Custom Setup - AV Linking).

At this time you have already connected all or most of your audio
video components to the Cinema Reference. If you are satisfied
with the component connections to the Cinema Reference, you need
not continue with this section. As the Cinema Reference is
preprogrammed in the factory for optimum performance, you will
not necessarily need to custom program your unit.
In the event that you want to custom program your Cinema Reference, this section will discuss altering audio and video inputs linked
to a particular Input Label.
Each Input Label is nothing but a name. Assigned to each name is
an audio input, a video input, a super video input, a component
video input, and an AC-3 RF input (RF see page 38). Even a radio
tuner, that does not have a video output, will have a video output
possibly connected to another device, linked to it. As such each
Input Label has several Cinema Reference rear panel jacks tied to
it. The beauty behind the Cinema Reference, is that these jacks are
linked in software and can be easily switched using the steps below.
Please note, you can also alter the way the Input Label reads. This
is discussed on the next page, Custom Setup - Labeling Inputs.
To alter a components audio and video inputs:
1

Select the device you wish to alter by turning the INPUT knob
until the second line of the display reads the device name
and press the INPUT knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads the
type of input you wish to alter for this component.

If you want to alter an analog input, turn to ANALOG INPUT
If you want to alter a video input, turn to VIDEO INPUT.
If you want to alter an S-Video input, turn to S-VIDEO INPUT.
If you want to alter an component video input, turn to RGB INPUT.
When you have selected the type of input you wish to alter,
press the MODE knob.
4

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the new input
you are connected to and then press the MODE knob to
engage that input.

Proceed with step three to alter other inputs for this component.

If you wish to exit this mode, simply turn the INPUT knob.

Page 37

Custom Setup - AC-3 RF Inputs & Auto Mode
As discussed on the previous page, the Cinema Reference will typically apply an A/V Link to each Input Label. Thus, if you select the
TUNER 8 input and leave your TV & VCR on, you will still see the
VCR’s video image even though you are listening to the radio tuner.
With the exception of the RGB Inputs, which have an off setting,
each Input Label will have a video and S-video follower. They will
also have an AC-3 RF input follower as well. The ability to set the
RF inputs is discussed in this section.
The Cinema Reference uses a unique circuit whereby it can autodetect an AC-3 or DTS signal. This auto detection will permit the
Cinema Reference to change its active decoding mode between an
AC-3, DTS, or non-5.1 mode depending on the software. Since a
single input could auto-mode between as many as three different
decoding formats, and since each decoding format has several enhancement and filter options available, ADA has made it very easy
to setup the Cinema Reference to play your desired format option
automatically.
When you select an input that is programmed to auto-mode, begin
playing some software from that component. The Cinema Reference will auto detect the correct decoding format. At that time, you
may turn the mode knob to one of the other mode options. When
you begin playing software that needs to be decoded in this same
format, the Cinema Reference will engage the last selected format
option.
As an example, suppose your laser disc player is connected to the
Cinema Reference to play AC-3 laser discs, PCM laser discs, DTS
laser discs, and DTS CDs. Furthermore, suppose you prefer AC-3
ULTRA decoding for AC-3 software, PRO LOGIC THX for standard
laser discs, and DTS DIRECT for DTS laser discs and CDs, all you
would do is to place the first piece of software in the laserdisc. If this
were an AC-3 laser disc, the auto detection might very well first engage AC-3 THX. You can then turn the mode knob to AC-3 ULTRA
and then press the mode knob to secure this mode. Any time you
play an AC-3 laser disc from this point forward, the Cinema Reference will auto-mode to AC-3 ULTRA. To further insure proper setup,
continue to test the auto-mode circuit with a non-5.1 laser disc. Again,
the Cinema Reference will engage a two channel surround mode,
typically Pro Logic. Turn the mode knob to PRO LOGIC THX and
press it. From this point forward, non-5.1 formatted material will
automatically play in Pro Logic THX. Finally, play a DTS CD or laser
disc. Once DTS locks in, turn the mode knob to DTS DIRECT and
press it. As with AC-3 and two-channel formats, from this point forward, the DTS automode default format will be DTS DIRECT.
Please note, if your default mode is set to any DTS mode, if
auto detection occurs for either AC-3 or two-channel software,
the Cinema Reference will engage to either AC-3 THX or Pro
Logic THX, regardless of the last mode used for that format.

Page 38

The Cinema Reference
incorporates a unique Auto
Mode detection circuit for AC3, DTS, and non-5.1 software.
When Auto Mode is set to on
for a Laser Disc or DVD
component, the Cinema
Reference will automatically
switch to an appropriate
decoding mode.
For Laser Disc Players, this
feature is coupled with the
Cinema Reference’s RF
Demodulator. Since the RF
Demodulators output
connects to the Digital 4
input, not only does the
Cinema Reference need to
detect and change modes, but
also inputs. As such, for full
Auto Mode control when
playing Laser Discs, you will
also need to set the Laser
Disc Player’s (s) AC-3 RF
Input setting to Auto as well.
When an input is set to automode on, it will engage the
best possible decoding mode.
As each 5.1 and the two
channel format have several
options, you can select which
option you want engaged
during an auto-mode
detection sequence. As the
Cinema Reference will recall
the last mode format option
used, you can setup your
Cinema Reference by simply
dialing in a mode for both AC3 and DTS 5.1 software and a
decoding option for two
channel software.

For components that are not
set to auto-mode on, the
Cinema Reference’s default
mode for this input will return
after re-selecting the input or
during a restart, even if you
alter the mode.
For example, if your CD player
is set for Quad Bypass as its
Default Mode but for this one
CD, you wish to listen to it in
Stereo, turn the mode knob to
Stereo. If you change inputs
or turn the system off, the
next time you access your CD
player, it will default to the
Quad Bypass mode.

For full Auto Mode detection of a Laser Disc or Combination Laser
Disc/DVD Player, there are two settings that need to be in place.
The first involves setting of the AC-3 RF Inputs on the Cinema Reference. These are adjusted in the SETUP MODE. The AC-3 RF
setting options include:
AC3 RF IN 1, AC 3 RF IN 2, AC3 RF AUTO1, & AC3 RF AUTO2
For all non-Laser Disc inputs, you can opt to set these to either AC3
RF IN 1 or AC3 RF IN 2. As these devices will not use the RF
Demodulator, the link setting is arbitrary. Please note, the Cinema
Reference’s “Out Of The Box” setup, defaults LASER/DVD 1 to AC3
RF AUTO1 and LASERDISC 2 to AC3 RF AUTO2. All other inputs
are properly set to AC3 RF IN 1. To alter these settings:
1

Select the device you wish to alter by turning the INPUT knob
until the second line of the display reads the device name
and press the INPUT knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads AC3
RF INPUT and press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the AC3 RF
setting you desire.

Proceed with step three to alter other inputs for this component you can simply turn the Input Knob without leaving
the AC3 RF setup mode.

If you wish to exit this mode, simply press the INPUT knob.

Auto Mode On/Off
The AUTOMODE function is a setting rather than a decoding mode. This setting is intended to permit
the Cinema Reference to automatically switch between 5.1 (AC-3 or DTS) decoding modes or a two
channel mode depending on the software in play. When combined with an AC3 RF AUTO setting, the
AUTOMODE function will allow you to flip between AC-3 laser discs (via RF Demodulator), DTS and
2 channel PCM lasers & CDs, and DTS or AC-3 DVDs.
To turn the AUTOMODE ON or OFF:
1

Turn the INPUT knob to the device (capable of playing AC-3 software) you wish to alter and
press the INPUT knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads AUTOMODE ON or AUTOMODE OFF.

Press the MODE knob to switch ON to OFF or OFF to ON.

The Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” Setup has the LASER/DVD 1 and LASERDISC 2 Input
Labels set to AUTOMODE ON. All other Input Labels are set to OFF. If you are using a DVD player on
the DVD PLAYER 3 Input Label and you plan to also play standard CDs, you may wish to set the DVD
PLAYER Input Label to AUTOMODE ON.

Page 39

Custom Setup - Labeling Inputs
The Cinema Reference permits you to alter the Input Labels. These
are labels that appear for each component as you rotate the Input
knob. This is quite useful if you have connected a component that
does not appear on the Cinema Reference (i.e. DAT Player). Altering Input Labels is also available when you don’t want the numbers
to appear on the Cinema Reference’s display (i.e. LASER/DVD 1,
LASERDISC 2). The front panel display can read a name up to 12
characters in length (alphanumeric). The most significant benefit of
altering Input Label names is derived when using the Cinema
Reference’s “Final Input” Setup Mode (found under Pro Setup). The
“Final Input” Setup Mode permits you to limit the number of Input
Labels that appear on the Cinema Reference. If you wish to only
display only the devices connected to your Cinema Reference, ADA
suggests first proceeding to the section entitled “Pro Setup - Final
Input”. Once you have set the Final Input, then return to this page to
change the Input Labels. To alter a components Input Label:
1

Select the device you wish to alter by turning the INPUT knob
until the second line of the display reads the device name
and press the INPUT knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads
INPUT LABELS and then press the MODE knob. The
top line of the display will read LABEL INPUTS and the
second line of the display will read the Input Label as it
currently appears with the first letter of the Input Label
flashing (cursor).

Turn the MODE knob to select a new character for the first
letter. If you do not wish to alter the character of the first
letter, press the MODE knob to advance to the cursor to
the second letter.

Turn the MODE knob to change this character and press the
MODE knob to advance the cursor position to the next
character.

Repeat step 5 until the display reads the new name for this
Input Label. ADA suggests leaving the numeric value at
the end of each Input Label in place to provide you with a
reference as to this Input Label’s position to the Cinema
Reference’s program.

When you are done relabeling an Input Label, turn the INPUT knob to advance to the next input you wish to relabel. Repeat with steps 4 - 6. When you are done labeling
all inputs, turn either Volume, Channel, or Record to exit
the

Page 40

While the Cinema Reference’s
“Out Of The Box” Setup has
pre-labeled connections for
most any home theater audio/
video component, you may
wish to custom label any or all
inputs to display to your
liking.
The Cinema Reference’s builtin character generator allows
you to alter the way an Input
Label reads when it is
displayed. If you prefer to
have DSS/SAT 5 input read as
simply DSS RECEIVER, you
can enter the Cinema
Reference’s Label Mode to
edit and alter this input.
While the “Out Of The Box”
Setup assigns a sequenced
Input Label number to each
Input Label (1 -15), you can
overwrite these numbers so
that they do not appear, but
note, these numbers do refer
to the direct access input
numbers found on the ADA
One-For-All Remote.
The ability to alter the way
Input Labels read is
particularly useful if you are
custom configuring your
Cinema Reference using the
Pro Setup’s “Final Input”
settings. Since the Final Input
Setup allows you to limit the
number of Input Labels that
are displayed as you rotate
the Input Knob, the need to
relabel the lower inputs to suit
your setup will be important.
Prior to proceeding you may
wish to review Final Input
under Pro Setup.

Custom Setup - Turn-On Input
The Cinema Reference
provides you with the ability
to select which device you
want the Cinema Reference to
always turn on to. If you
primarily use the Cinema
Reference for viewing DSS
broadcasts, you will want to
alter the Turn On Input.

The Cinema Reference is factory set to always turn on to the VCR 4
input. Thus, even if you were watching a movie on DVD last night,
when the kids come to turn it on in the morning, the Cinema Reference will always switch to the VCR.

The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Turn On Input is
set to VCR as most any home
theater system includes a
VCR. The steps in the
paragraph to the right detail
how to alter the Cinema
Reference’s Turn On Input.

To alter the Cinema Reference’s Turn-On Input:

While you may opt to have the
Cinema Reference turn on to a
specific component, you may
also opt to have the Cinema
Reference always engage to
the input last used.

While this ideal for some, you may prefer to have your Cinema Reference to turn on to another device, for example the DSS receiver.
You may even prefer to have the Cinema Reference always engage
to the component that was last used. Any of these options is easy to
access by following these steps.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads
TURNON INPUT press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the device you
wish to have the Cinema Reference come on to or to the
words LAST USED and press the MODE knob to engage
that setting.

If you wish to exit the setup mode, simply turn the INPUT
knob.

Custom Setup - Turn On Volume
The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup has the
Cinema Reference always
turning on to VOLUME
PRESET #1. Unless you have
already locked in a new
volume preset under Audio
Setup, this level will be -25.0
dB.
You can opt to alter the Turn
On Volume to either VOLUME
PRESET #2 or the LAST USED
volume level. The steps
described in the paragraph to
the right detail how to change
the Cinema Reference’s Turn
On Volume.
Note
ADA strongly recommends
using a Turn On Volume
Preset whose level is not too
high. Since the last volume
used might be ear shattering,
having the Cinema Reference
turn on to a preset volume
level removes the chance of
engaging a system that is
ready to sand-blast a room.
This is providing that the
Volume Preset you select is
also of moderate level.

The Cinema Reference has the ability to recall one of three volume
levels when it is turned on. The Out Of The Box Setup has the
Cinema Reference always turning onto VOL PRESET 1 which is
factory set for all channels and all inputs at -25.0 dB. This level is
typically a low or moderate volume level. If you have already completed the section on “Audio Setup”, then you may have already
locked in a new audio preset on VOL PRESET 1.
Factory Default Note: The Cinema Reference has been
preprogrammed in the factory such that both VOL PRESET 1 and
VOL PRESET 2 have the same preset level of all channels on all
inputs set to -25.0 dB. If you wish to instantly recall the factory
settings, simply proceed to recall VOL PRESET 2 by turning the
CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL RECALL 2 and then
press the CHANNEL knob. If you wish to reset VOL PRESET 1 to
the factory default as to begin again, once you have recalled VOL
PRESET 2, simply turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads
VOL RECALL 1 and then press and hold the CHANNEL knob until
the display reads VOL STORED 1.
If you want the Cinema Reference to come on to a volume level
other than VOL PRESET 1, you can alter it to come on to either VOL
PRESET 2 or LAST USED.
To alter the Cinema Reference’s Turn On Volume:
1

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads
TURNON VOL press the MODE knob. The top line of the
display will read the current turn on volume setting.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired turn
on volume. Then press the MODE knob to lock in that
turn on volume.

Custom Setup - Vector Scope On/Off

The Six Quadrant Vector
Scope on the front of the
Cinema Reference is designed to provide you with
a testing scope that
shows the input signal,
after decoding, prior to

volume adjustment. As H
such, you can see if a
source signal has any
surround channel information (lower right and
left quadrants), bass information (vertical movement on the right and left side of the scope),
or if the signal is only a mono signal (center channel deflection straight up). This is useful if you are uncertain as to which mode will
provide the best surround effect. It is also useful in the event a
speaker or amplifier channel is not functioning properly as if you
detect signal to that channel on the scope but hear no audio, you
may wish to investigate your connections, etc.
The Vector Scope, unlike the rest of the Cinema Reference’s front
panel display, is not capable of being dimmed. You can however,
turn the scope off if you do not like it.
To turn the Vector Scope on and off on the Cinema Reference:
1

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP

Pro Setup - Enter At Your Own Risk
The Cinema Reference permits access to the “One Time” Setup
functions only through its “Pro Setup”. The Pro Setup is well protected from accidental access in order to best preserve the Cinema
Reference’s “Out Of The Box” factory default parameters. Since the
Cinema Reference is designed for optimum operation, these parameters may not need to be adjusted, and as such, under most
circumstances, should be left alone.

The Cinema Reference has
additional parameters that can
be set under the Pro Setup

Pro Setup - Delay Setup
The Cinema Reference
provides the flexibility to set
the delay for each of the six
speaker channels including
the subwoofer. Unlike
conventional delay settings,
where the front right and left
speakers act as the reference
distance, the six channel delay
configuration requires that
one of the six channels be
selected as the reference.
Since delay is applied to
speakers that are closer than
the furthest most speaker, the
“Reference Speaker” is the
speaker that has the greatest
distance to the primary
listening position. Delay is
then applied to all of the other
channels.
The Cinema Reference is
capable of delay settings in
0.5 millisecond increments.
Since 1 foot is equal to 1
millisecond, you can adjust
the delay for each channel to
the nearest 1/2 foot (six
inches). As such, your
measurements need be
rounded to the nearest six
inches.

The adjustment of the Delay setting can be configured independently
for each of the Cinema Reference’s six channels (including the
subwoofer channel). The goal of setting channel delays is to have
the sound from each speaker reach the primary seating position at
the same time or perhaps better put, the correct time. Since the
Cinema Reference can delay the signal of a channel from reaching
that channel’s output (and as such, the amplifier, then the speaker,
and then your ears), the delay is applied to all speakers that are
closer to the listener than the furthest speaker. This speaker, the
one at greatest distance from the primary listening/viewing position,
for the sake of this section, will be called the “Reference Speaker”,
because all of the other speakers closer to the listening position, will
use this speaker’s distance as a reference point.
The process of setting the delays will require the use of a tape measure or some other distance measuring instrument. ADA suggests
using the U.S./British standard to measure these distances in feet
as sound travels at approximately 1 foot per millisecond (1/100th of
a second). If you are using the metric standard to measure your
distances, ADA suggests converting all measurements to feet as it
will be easier to calibrate the delay time settings (1 foot is approximately equal to 30.5 cm).
The example below details a sample speaker placement where each
speaker is located at a different distance from the primary seating
position. The chart to the right is filled in with the sample distances
from diagram below.

Page 47

To proceed, you will first determine where your primary listening
viewing seating position will be. Next you will want to measure the
distance from the primary listening/viewing position each speaker
using a tape measure. Your measurements need to be accurate to
within 6 Inches (1/2 Foot). Follow these steps:
1

Determine the primary seating position and use it as the
measuring center point.

Measure the distance to each speaker and write them on a
piece of paper. You can use the blank chart found on
page 36 which is identical to the sample chart on the next
page.

Most home theaters have the
front right and left speakers
equal distance from the main
seating area. The same is
usually true of the surround
left and right speakers as it is
common that they are also of
equal distance from the
primary seating position.

Please note, as the delay range for 5.1 modes is 0-15 ms, the above delay settings
directly apply only to 5.1 decoding modes. For Dolby Pro Logic modes, the delay
range is 15-30 ms. Thus for Dolby Pro Logic modes add 15 ms to these numbers
3

Determine which of the speakers is furthest away and use
this speaker as the “Reference Speaker”. In most home
theater systems, the front right and left speakers are typically of equal distance from the seating area as are the
left and right surround speakers. If more than one speaker’s position is equal to the greatest distance from the
primary seating position, these speakers will also have
no delay.
Subtract the distance of all of the speakers from the distance of the furthest speaker (Reference Speaker). These
numbers will be used as the Delay Settings. The chart
above shows the measurements taken from the example
diagram on the bottom of the previous page. Since the
Front Left speaker is placed the greatest distance from
the seating area, it is used as the Reference Speaker
and requires no delay (Delay = 0 ms). The difference in
the distance of the other speakers from the Reference
Speaker are the actual delay settings. The chart above
details the math involved.

Page 48

If the front set of right and left
speakers are furthest from the
seating area, they would
together act as the Reference
Speaker and not require any
delay. The distance to one of
these speakers will be used as
a reference and the
appropriate delay would then
be set for the surround,
center, and subwoofer
speakers. In this example, all
speakers are at different
distances.

The actual delay value for
each channel is equal to the
distance that is calculated by
subtracting that channel’s
distance from the primary
listening position from the
distance of the furthest
speaker to the primary
listening position.
In the example from the
previous page, the Reference
Speaker is the Left Front
speaker and this speaker will
not be delayed (0.0 ms). The
Center speaker’s delay will be
set to 5 ms, the Front Right
speaker will be set to 2 ms,
the Subwoofer will be set to 7
ms, the Left Surround speaker
will be set to 9 ms, and the
Right Surround Speaker will
be set to 10 ms. Note that
these delay settings are equal
to the distances in feet.
Note: If you are in a non-5.1
mode, you will have to add 15
to each delay setting.

THESE ARE THE
SPEAKER'S DELAY
SETTINGS

If you wish to use the figures directly from the chart above
without adding 15 to each number, turn the MODE knob
to read an AC-3 mode and then press the knob. If the
input you are on is set to auto-mode on and you are not
playing a 5.1 encoded software segment, the Cinema
Reference will not permit you to engage a 5.1 mode. ADA
suggests selecting another input and manually engaging
AC-3 for this step.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads the
word DELAY followed by the first channel you wish to
adjust, and then press the MODE knob to engage that
channel. The top row of the display will read the channel
name and the bottom row will read its current delay setting in MS (milliseconds).

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired delay level and then press the MODE knob to engage that
delay. The difference (measured in feet) of the farthest
speaker from the selected speaker is also the same value
in milliseconds.

Turn the MODE knob to the next channel who’s delay you
wish to adjust and press the MODE knob.

10 Repeat steps 7 & 8 for all channels that require delay adjustment.
11 When you have completed adjusting the delay for all channels, turn the INPUT knob to exit the Setup Mode.

The Cinema Reference has the ability to be controlled in a network
with other ADA Bus™ components, including multiple Cinema References. As such, the Cinema Reference has the ability to be set to
as many as 256 addresses. Typically, the factory default address
for the Cinema Reference is Bus Address 0. At this address setting,
the Cinema Reference operates with its infrared remote control.
When using the Cinema Reference in an ADA Bus™ multi-zone
audio/video system, you may need to alter the address setting to
have the Cinema Reference also operate in conjunction with that
zone’s ADA Bus™ keypad.
The Cinema Reference also has a setting whereby the bi-drectional
control option via the ADA Bus™ jack is completely off. To select
this feature, set the Network Bus Address to “255”.
To change the Bus Address:
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads NETWORK BUS and then press the MODE
knob.

Turn the MODE knob until you have set the Network Bus to
the desired address setting (from 0 {default standard} to
254 - 255 turns the bidirectional control/feedback option
off).

When you have the desired address setting on the Cinema
Reference’s display, press the MODE knob to engage the
address.

To exit the Network Bus Setup Mode without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Page 50

The Cinema Reference can be
set to one of 255 ADA Bus™
Address settings. The
standard factory default
address is “0”. This address
permits the Cinema Reference
to be controlled by its infrared
remote control.

Pro Setup - Final Input
The Cinema Reference
provides a total of fifteen
Input Labels, all of which are
accessible in the “Out Of The
Box” configuration. However,
while this setup permits easy
connection of almost any
number of components
without complex
programming, it also means
that the Cinema Reference will
display device names which
may not necessarily be on
your system.
ADA has provided a means by
where you can limit the
number of Input Labels that
appear on the Cinema
Reference’s display by locking
in the Final Input. This has
been discussed briefly under
Labeling Inputs. When you
set the Final Input, the Cinema
Reference will no longer scroll
through all Input Labels
beyond the Final Input. While
this does permit you to limit
the number of devices
displayed, you will most likely
need to re-configure the audio
and video inputs as well as
their Input Labels for some of
your components.

The Cinema Reference provides you with the ability to custom configure the way its display appears. Through the use of the Label
Inputs option, you can rename an Input Label to appear as you wish
it read. Through the Audio/Video Setup, you can alter the links to
the Cinema Reference’s input jacks for any Input Label. But if you
wish to have the Cinema Reference scroll through Input Labels for
only the devices you have connected to it, you will first need to limit
the number of Input Labels the Cinema Reference will display using
the Final Input Setup Mode.
As the Cinema Reference has a total of fifteen Input Labels in its
factory default “Out Of The Box” setup, you may not necessarily be
connecting a total of fifteen devices to the Cinema Reference. If for
example, you are connecting only six devices to the Cinema Reference, you can limit the number of Input Labels that appear on the
Cinema Reference to only six.
Please note, that when the Cinema Reference sets a limit to the
higher Input Label names, it does so by, in this example, not displaying Input Labels 7-15. You cannot selectively omit Input Label names
from displaying (i.e. Input Labels 3, 4, 8, 9-15). Thus, when you set
a limit to the number of Input Label names that are accessible, you
will also most likely need to alter the names of certain labels as well
as the audio/video links to those labels.
To set the Final Input limit:
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads FINAL INPUT and then press
the MODE knob.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the last input
you wish to access. If you have not altered any Input
Labels up to this point, the Input Label name should also
appear with a number after it and you can use these as a
guide.

When you have the last Input Label you wish to display on
the screen, press the MODE knob to engage this final
input.

To exit the Final Input Setup Mode without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Page 51

Pro Setup - System Setup - Bass Management
The Cinema Reference incorporates several bass management features which are also featured under Pro Setup. These bass management options are capable of being set differently for each Input
Label. Since the Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” Setup is
designed for optimum system operation, you may not need to alter
these settings. The standard default setting is BASS CONFIG = 0,
which, as described on the chart below, engages the High Pass
Filter for all speakers, combining the LFE channels information with
a sum of the bass information contained in the other speaker channels. This is the default setting for a THX Home Cinema.

To change the Bass Configuration:
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads SYSTEM SETUP and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read BASS CONFIG on the top
line and the second line will read the Bass Configuration
# for the Input Label currently selected.

Select the input you wish to change the Bass Configuration
setting for by turning the INPUT knob (In the BASS
CONFIG Setup Mode, turning the INPUT knob does not
eject you from the Pro Setup). The top line of the display
will momentarily display the input you have selected
(turned to) and the display will then indicate this input’s
BASS CONFIG #.

Turn the MODE knob until you have set the BASS CONFIG
# to the desired setting (from 0 {default standard} to 12).
You do not need to press the MODE knob to engage the
bass configuration and if you wish, you can listen to the
different configurations as you dial through them.

If you wish to alter the Bass Configuration for any or all other
inputs, repeat steps 2 & 3. To exit the Bass Configuration
Setup Mode without leaving the Pro Setup Mode, press
the MODE knob. If you wish to exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 52

If you are using full range
speakers in your home theater
system, you can alter the bass
management aspect of the
Cinema Reference.
Please note, that the Bass
Configuration setting is input
specific. As such, you will
need to alter the Bass
Configuration setting for each
input.
If you are using full range
speakers (speakers capable of
handling bass information)
either for all five main
speakers or just some of the
five main speakers, you will
need to use the chart to
determine which Bass
Configuration # best applies
to your speaker array.

Pro Setup - IR Receiver On & Off Control
The Cinema Reference
permits you to turn off the
front panel IR receiver via
software. This is useful if the
Cinema Reference is being
touch screen controlled as
some installations will cause
the front panel IR to reflect
data transfers and prevent
control.

The Cinema Reference provides you with the ability to turn its front
panel infrared receiver on and off via software. If you are using the
Cinema Reference in an environment which is flooded by other infrared signals (from high intensity light bulbs, high frequency lamps,
IR motion detectors, sunlight, etc.), you may opt to turn the Cinema
Reference’s front panel infrared receiver off. You may also want to
turn this IR receiver off if you are controlling the Cinema Reference
from a computer controlled touch screen or ADA keypad as, in some
instances, this IR receiver will prevent component control due to
data reflection.
The Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” setup has the IR receiver in the On position. To turn the IR receiver off or on:
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads IRR CONTROL and then press
the MODE knob. The Cinema Reference’s display will
read IRR CONTROL on the top line and the second line
will read “IS NOW ON” or “IS NOW OFF”.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the correct setting for the IR Receiver, ON or OFF.

To exit the IRR Control Setup Mode without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Page 53

Pro Setup - Bass Limiter
The Cinema Reference provides you with the ability to engage a
bass limiter that operates in a range from 0 dB (decibels) to -24 dB.
The function of the bass limiter is to reduce the possibility of overloading the subwoofer in cases of extreme volume and/or software
that provides extremely dynamic bass information. If your subwoofer
is capable of providing a large level of bass without bottoming out,
you may not need to engage the bass limiter at all. If however, you
play your system a volume levels that on occasion will cause your
subwoofer to play distorted audio segments, you will wish to engage
the bass limiter.
The Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” setup has the Bass Limiter set to 0 dB. To adjust the Bass Limiter setting:
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads BASS LIMITER and then press
the MODE knob. The Cinema Reference’s display will
read BASS LIMITER on the top line and the second line
will read a level (i.e. 0 DB LIMIT).

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired setting for the Bass Limiter (0 to -24 dB).

To exit the BASS LIMITER Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 54

The Cinema Reference
permits you to engage a Bass
Limiter which will prevent the
subwoofer from distorting
when playing the system at
high volume levels that the
subwoofer cannot properly
process.
To best apply this feature,
operate your home theater
system at a level slightly
louder than you would
normally play it at. Try using
software that is dynamic,
something that includes
scenes with explosions might
be appropriate. Determine if
your subwoofer is beginning
to “bottom out” or distort. If
this is the case, slowly
increase the value of the bass
limiter from 0 dB to -24 dB.
As the Cinema Reference
permits you to sample the
changes live, you can
determine the limiter setting
where the bass no longer
distorts.

Pro Setup - HDR & LDR Scale Factors
The HDR (High Dynamic
Range) and LDR (Low
Dynamic Range) Scale
Factors permit the playback of
AC-3 formatted source
material with compression of
both the low and high levels.
As such, the bangs and
booms are never too loud and
whispers never to soft. This
narrowing of the Dynamic
Range takes place when
listening to the AC-3 Night
mode. However, the Cinema
Reference can also adjust
these factors for the AC-3
Ultra and AC-3 Standard
modes. If you make
adjustments to the AC-3 Ultra
mode, these changes will then
also apply to AC-3 THX and
AC-3 Re-EQ as they are linked
together. Conversely, if you
modify either AC-3 THX or
AC-3 Re-EQ, the other linked
modes are also affected.
The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup has the
HDR and LDR Scale Factors
set to “0” or Full Off. These
scale factors are engaged in
the AC-3 Night mode
automatically and need not be
adjusted to access AC-3
Night.

The Cinema Reference offers several mode settings when decoding a Dolby Digital (AC-3) signal. One of these modes is AC-3 NIGHT
mode which provides compression of the low level and high level
signals, such that, the bangs and booms are reduced and the whispers are accentuated. This, in effect narrows the volume range to
permit comfortable listening without the worry of disturbing others
during an explosion or other loud dramatic sound effect. To accomplish this compression, the Cinema Reference, when in AC-3 NIGHT
Mode, engages both the HDR (High Dynamic Range) Scale and the
LDR (Low Dynamic Range) Scale to “255” or Full On. These scale
factors are also set to “255” or Full On during the AC-3 STANDARD
mode. While the Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” Setup has
the HDR and LDR scale factors set to “0” or Full Off (no compression), you can selectively set these scales to a point between (and
including) 0 and 255. These scale factors are specific to the AC-3
modes and as such, can be set differently for either AC-3 ULTRA
mode and AC-3 STANDARD MODE (Please note that AC-3 THX
and AC-3 RE-EQ will also be affected with any change to the AC-3
ULTRA mode in that these modes are tied together).
Prior to proceeding with the HDR and LDR scale factor, you will first
need to select an AC-3 Input Label. Turn the mode knob to
AUTOMODE OFF (or ON) is displayed. If the display is reading
AUTOMODE ON, press the MODE button to turn it to AUTOMODE
OFF. If Automode is already set to off, turn the mode knob to either
AC-3 ULTRA or AC-3 STANDARD (which ever one you wish to adjust the HDR and/or LDR scale) and press the MODE button to engage that mode. You will then need to enter the Pro Setup mode.
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads either HDR UP SCALE or LDR DN SCALE
and then press the MODE knob. The display will read
HDR UP SCALE (or LDR DN SCALE) on the top line and
the second line will read the current scale factor and the
mode name (ULTRA, STANDARD, THX, or RE-EQ). If
this input is set to AC-3 NIGHT, AC-3 MAX, or a non-AC3 mode, the display will read FIXED SCALE. While in
either the HDR or LDR Setup mode, you can turn the INPUT knob to see the settings on other inputs.

Turn the MODE knob until you have set the HDR (or LDR)
scale set to the desired setting (from 0 {default standard Full Off} to 255 {Full On}). You do not need to press the
MODE knob to engage this setting. While in either the
HDR or LDR Setup mode, you can turn the INPUT knob
to see the settings on other inputs with other modes.

If you wish to alter the HDR or LDR scales for any or all other
modes, repeat steps 2 & 3. To exit the HDR (or LDR)
Setup Mode without leaving the Pro Setup Mode, press
the MODE knob. If you wish to exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 55

Pro Setup - THX - Re-EQ, Timbre Match, & Decorrelate
There are three distinct aspects to the THX enhancements, Re-Equalization, Timbre Match, and Decorrelation. These enhancements can
be applied to either Dolby Digital (AC-3) or Dolby Pro Logic modes.
Furthermore, they can be applied in part or in full (THX).
When you select the AC-3 THX or PROLOGIC THX modes, all three
enhancements are active (On). When you select the AC-3 RE-EQ
or PROLOG RE-EQ modes, the re-equalizer is active (On) and the
Timbre Match and Decorrelation filters are off.
While these fixed modes permit instant access to certain THX enhancements, the Cinema Reference also permits you to customize
inputs set to either an AC-3 or Pro Logic mode. Thus, you can selectively turn the Re-EQ, Timbre Match, and Decorrelation enhancements to on or off, individually, when in the Pro Setup mode.
If you are interested in dabbing with the effects of Re-EQ, Timbre
Match, and Decorrelation, you can do so following the steps below.
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads either RE-EQUALIZE, TIMBRE MATCH, or
DECORRELATE and then press the MODE knob. The
Cinema Reference’s display will read RE-EQUALIZE (TIMBRE MATCH or DECORRELATE) on the top line and the
second line will read “IS NOW ON” or “IS NOW OFF”.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the correct setting for the particular THX enhancement, ON or OFF.
Since each Input has its own default mode, you can set
the THX enhancement to on or off for other Input Labels
by turning the INPUT knob and scrolling through all inputs. Please note, some modes will not allow you to turn
on and off certain THX enhancements.

To exit the RE-EQUALIZE, TIMBRE MATCH, or
DECORRELATE Setup Modes without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Page 56

The Cinema Reference
permits you to turn selectively
engage the Re-Equalization,
Timbre Match, and
Decorrelation filters
individually. These
enhancements, when all three
are on, are equal to full THX.
Thus, you can more simply
turn all three enhancements to
on by simply selecting either
the AC-3 THX or PROLOGIC
THX modes using the MODE
knob.
You can also directly select
the AC-3 RE-EQ or PROLOG
RE-EQ modes using the
MODE knob. Please note, that
these enhancements are only
available on a Dolby Digital
(AC-3) mode or Dolby Pro
Logic mode.
If you wish to alter either one
of these three enhancement
filters, you can do so under
the Pro Setup.

Pro Setup - Auto-Balance
The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup has the
Auto Balance in the On
position. You can selectively
set the Auto Balance to On or
Off for Inputs set to a Dolby
mode.

The Cinema Reference also permits you to turn off the Auto Balance circuit. When the Auto Balance is on, the Cinema Reference
will compensate for discrepancies in the left and right channels, when
in an analog domain. The Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box”
Setup has the Auto Balance in the On position.
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads AUTO BALANCE and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read AUTO BALANCE on the top
line and the second line will read the current scale factor
and the mode name IS NOW ON or IS NOW OFF.

Turn the MODE knob to turn the Auto Balance On or Off.
You can turn the INPUT knob to see the settings on other
inputs with other modes.

To exit the AUTO BALANCE Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 57

Pro Setup - Repeat Count
The Repeat count is used on Dolby Digital (AC-3) modes and can
be set independently per input, which is set to an AC-3 mode. The
Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box” Setup has the Repeat Count
set to “1”. If you wish to alter this setting, you can increase the
Repeat Count as high as 8.
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads REPEAT COUNT and then press the MODE
knob. The Cinema Reference’s display will read REPEAT
COUNT on the top line and the second line will read a
number (1) followed by the word COUNT.

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired setting for the Repeat Count (1-8). Since each Input that is
on an AC-3 mode has its own Repeat Count, you can set
the Repeat Count for other Input Labels by turning the
INPUT knob, thus scrolling through all inputs.

To exit the REPEAT COUNT Setup Modes without leaving
the Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish
to exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 58

The REPEAT COUNT is a
function that is directly related
to the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Surround Mode. The Repeat
Count setting indicates the
maximum number of
consecutive block repeats
before muting the output. The
Out Of The Box setup for
repeat count is set to 1. The
maximum setting is 8.

Pro Setup - Analog Gain Control
The Cinema Reference is
designed to provide an ideal
listening environment for all
of your source components.
Digital audio components,
such as CD players, DVDs,
laser disc players, and DSS
receivers typically have very
good gain drive, there is no
need to compensate their
output levels. However, for
analog audio components,
you may wish to raise their
analog gain so that, as you
change from one input to the
next, the output levels (the
sound level in the room)
remains somewhat constant.
The Cinema Reference is fully
equipped to lower the gain
levels for all analog inputs
independently.
The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup has the
Analog Gain levels set to 0 dB
for all Analog Inputs. You can
selectively raise the Analog
Gain for each analog audio
input in 3 dB steps up to 9 dB.
The Cinema Reference will
display the input gain level,
providing the component is
putting out audio, and will
indicate when clipping begins
to occur.

The Cinema Reference also permits you to adjust the gain individually for all analog inputs. The Cinema Reference’s “Out Of The Box”
Setup has all analog inputs set to 0 dB or no Analog Gain. You can
raise the gain for the analog inputs from 0 dB to 3 dB, 6 dB, or as
high as 9 dB of gain. This is quite useful for components that have
lower gain drive such as radio tuners, VCRs, and phonographs
(phono preamplified output). Digital devices such as CDs, DVDs,
Laser Disc players, DSS receivers, etc., typically have a higher drive.
Therefore, you can adjust each analog audio input to an appropriate
level such that, as you switch inputs, the output levels are steady.
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads ANALOG GAIN and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read level arrows (<<<>>>) on the
top line and the second line will read IN = 00.0 dB (or
some other number if you have already altered the factory defaults).

Turn the MODE knob to raise or lower the Analog Gain Control from 0 dB through 9 dB (in 3 dB steps). Note that the
level arrows will raise as you raise the Analog Gain. If the
level arrows reach the edges of the display
(<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>), you have raised the analog gain
too far as clipping is occurring. ADA suggests raising the
Analog Gain level cautiously. Since other inputs may also
require Analog Gain adjustment, you can turn the INPUT
knob to see the settings on other analog inputs and continue to adjust their gain.

To exit the ANALOG GAIN Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 59

Pro Setup - PCM Scale Factors
The Cinema Reference also permits you to adjust the PCM Scale
for audio inputs. This scale has two settings, one for AC-3 Modes
and another for Pro Logic Modes.
The PCM scale ranges from 0 to 255, with the factory default (Out
Of The Box Setup) set to 127.
ADA strongly suggests that you do not change these scales.
Adjusting the PCM Scales will lower the level of each input. This is
not the ideal method of level scaling as the levels are being reduced
by the discarding of bits of data. However, if you wish to adjust
either the Upper PCM Scale or the Downward PCM Scale the following steps detail how this is accomplished.
1

While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads either PCM SCALE and then press the
MODE knob. The Cinema Reference’s display will read
PCM SCALE on the top line and the second line will read
a number followed by the words FOR AC-3 or FOR PROL
(Pro Logic).

Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired setting for the PCM Scale that you have selected. Since
each Input that is on an either an AC-3 mode or a Pro
Logic mode has its own PCM scale setting, you can set
the PCM Scales for other Input Labels by turning the INPUT knob, thus scrolling through all inputs.

To exit the PCM Scale Setup Modes without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Page 60

The Cinema Reference
provides you with the ability
to alter the PCM Scales for
each input set to either an AC3 or Pro Logic mode. The
effect of altering the PCM
scale is the lowering of a
devices audio level. This
adjustment to the audio level
does come with a drawback
as the audio level is reduced
by discarding bits of data. As
such it is not ideal.
ADA strongly suggests not
altering the factory default
(Out Of The Box) settings for
the PCM scales.

Pro Setup - Input Format
The Cinema Reference has the
ability to alter its Input Format
which only applies to AC-3
decoding. The standard Input
Format for Dolby AC-3
decoding from a laser disc or
DVD is “SIF S/PDIF”. The
current alternate setting is
“SIF NONFORM” and is for
future AC-3 decoding options
that may come with HDTV offair or satellite broadcasts.
At this time, ADA strongly
suggests not altering the
Input Format.

The Cinema Reference is also prepared to decode other AC-3 formats, most of which are intended for AC-3 broadcast with HDTV by
way of off-air or satellite reception. As these are future decoding
formats, ADA strongly suggests not altering these settings.
However, should you need to alter these settings, the following describes the procedure to do so.
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads INPUT FORMAT and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read INPUT FORMAT on the top
line and the second line will read SIF S/PDIF (or some
other number if you have already altered the factory defaults).

Turn the MODE knob to alter between the SIF S/PDIF and
SIF NONFORM (non-formatted) settings. Since other inputs can also have their own Input Format setting, provided they are set to AC-3 modes, you can turn the INPUT knob to see the settings on other inputs and continue to alter their Input Format.

To exit the INPUT FORMAT Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 61

Pro Setup - Auxiliary DC Triggers
The Cinema Reference has two low voltage outputs which can be
used to trigger other components or devices. These triggers can be
used to perform several different operations such as:
a

Engaging a projector, screen, and curtains for only video
devices.
Turning on a power amplifier using an external AC switcher
(ADA ACC-3) if the amplifier will draw more than 10 amps
current (Cinema Reference’s Switched AC Outlet maximum).
Alternate speaker drivers between music and film playback.
Provide a basic trigger to other components to engage their
sequence.

c
d

The Cinema Reference sports two such triggers an both of these
triggers are input specific. The Out Of The Box setup is as follows:
AUX DC TRIG 1 = Engages with all inputs.
AUX DC TRIG 2 = Engages with only the Video Inputs:
LASER/DVD 1, LASERDISC 2, DVD PLAYER 3, VCR 4, DSS/SAT 5, CABLE/TV 6, AUXILIARY 10, CAMCORDER 11, VIDEO GAME 12, and COMPUTER 13.

Since most home theaters using this feature will involve some
level of professional setup, you can alter the Aux DC Triggers
using the following steps. If you are planning on adjusting the
Final Input or Input Labels, ADA suggests first making these
adjustments prior to proceeding with the Aux DC Trigger setup.
To setup and verify the Aux DC Triggers:
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads either AUX DC TRIG 1 or AUX DC TRIG 2
and then press the MODE knob. The display will read
Input Label that is currently selected on the top line and
the second line will read DC TRIG1 ON or DC TRIG1 OFF
(when adjusting Aux DC Trig 1).

Turn the MODE knob to switch between DC TRIG1 ON or
DC TRIG1 OFF. Since other inputs may also need to be
set to this particular auxiliary DC trigger, you can turn the
INPUT knob to see the settings on other inputs and continue to alter their status from on to off or off to on. Thus,
you can quickly setup an auxiliary trigger by just turning
the INPUT knob to the next input and then turning the
MODE knob to set the trigger on or off.

To exit the AUX DC TRIGGER Setup Mode without leaving
the Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish
to exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Page 62

The Cinema Reference
features two auxiliary DC
outputs or triggers. These
triggers are set in software
and the two triggers operate
independently of each other.
Furthermore, the Aux DC
Triggers track each input and
determine whether they
should be on for that input.
As such, you can have one
trigger activate a projector,
screen, curtain when only
video devices are selected and
another trigger activate
speaker drivers when
switching from a music
source to a film source.
The Cinema Reference’s Out
Of The Box Setup has Aux DC
Trigger 1 engaging with any
input as to power up an
auxiliary AC switcher which in
turn, powers up a power
amplifier. While the Cinema
Reference has a switched
outlet rated at 10 Amps, this
trigger can be used in
conjunction with ADA’s ACC-3
AC Switcher (15 Amps) when
powering up ADA’s High
Power MPA-500 Five Channel
Power Amplifier and BPA-500
Bass Amplifier. Aux DC
Trigger 2 is set to engage with
only video components.

Pro Setup - Effect Delay
The Cinema Reference has
two modes that are developed
exclusively by ADA. The
Stereo Enhance mode permits
quality surround sound
playback of two-channel
mixes, even if the separation
between the two channels is
minimal. The Mono Enhance
mode applies some of the
same theories of Stereo
Enhancement to mono-only
signals, again providing a full
surround sound array to a
mono only signal.
The Effect Delay sets up the
delay level between right and
left channels that makes the
surround effect of these two
modes more pronounced.
Please note, even slight
adjustment of the Effect Delay
will have an effect on how
these modes sound.

The Cinema Reference has two proprietary ADA modes, Stereo
Enhance and Mono Enhance. These modes are applied to twochannel or one channel mixes respectively. These modes, when
selected have two variables, one of which is the Effect Delay. The
Effect Delay works in different ways depending on which of the two
modes are selected. When Stereo Enhance is engaged, the Effect
Delay setting (0-20 ms range) is applied to the left channel, leaving
the right channel untouched, all prior to Pro Logic decoding. In the
Mono Enhance mode, used typically, for mono-only software, where
the right and left channel information are identical. In this mode, the
two channels are first mixed mono together, then the stereo enhancement feature is applied, with the delay set to the left channel (after
mixing down to mono) and prior to the Pro Logic decoding. This
permits the Mono Enhance mode to deliver surround sound with
depth and feel, even though the input signal is mono and during
standard Dolby Pro Logic playback, would only provide audio out of
the center channel.
To set the desired Effect Delay setting:
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads EFFECT DELAY and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read EFFECT DELAY on the top
row and a delay setting on the bottom row (i.e. 0 ms).

Turn the MODE knob to change the delay setting in the range
from 0 to 20 ms (milliseconds). Please note, this control
option provides real-time feedback but the turning of the
Mode knob to increment through the steps is a slow process.

To exit the EFFECT DELAY Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

Pro Setup - Effect Level
The Cinema Reference has two proprietary ADA modes, Stereo
Enhance and Mono Enhance. These modes are applied to twochannel or one channel mixes respectively. These modes, when
selected have two variables, one of which is the Effect Level. The
Effect Level is best described as throttle for the decoding circuit.
When the Effect Level is set to OFF, the decoding circuit is least
active, providing the flattest surround sound field. When the level is
set to -0 dB, the surround sound decoding circuit is processing the
audio signal at its maximum decoding level. You can decrease this
decoding level in 1 dB steps to -20 dB or also OFF. Please note, this
feature applies to both Stereo Enhance and Mono Enhance modes,
and like the Effect Level, only needs to be set once. Like all major
Cinema Reference features, you may sample the results of this setting as you adjust it. Furthermore, a slight adjustment may make a
big difference in the sound you hear.. As such, this control moves
slowly. Please note, that ADA suggests a setting somewhere between -4 dB and -8 dB.
To set the desired Effect Level setting:
1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads EFFECT LEVEL and then press the MODE
knob. The display will read EFFECT LEVEL on the top
row and a level setting on the bottom row (i.e. - 0 DB).

Turn the MODE knob to change the delay setting in the range
from -0 to -20 dB (decibels), or OFF. Please note, this
control option provides real-time feedback but the turning
of the Mode knob to increment through the steps is a slow
process.

To exit the EFFECT LEVEL Setup Mode without leaving the
Pro Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to
exit the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs
other than MODE or INPUT.

The Cinema Reference has
two modes that are developed
exclusively by ADA. The
Stereo Enhance mode permits
quality surround sound
playback of two-channel
mixes, even if the separation
between the two channels is
minimal. The Mono Enhance
mode applies some of the
same theories of Stereo
Enhancement to mono-only
signals, again providing a full
surround sound array to a
mono only signal.
The Effect Level is a unique
feature whereby you can
actually adjust the power of
the decoding circuit. Much
like a gas pedal, at -0 dB the
decoding circuit is operating
at its fullest. At -20 dB, the
decoding circuit is operating a
significantly lower rate. At
OFF, it’s features are not
noticeable at all.

Appendix A - Solo Channel Test
The Cinema Reference is also
capable of playing only one
channel at a time when in the
Solo Test mode. This is ideal
for testing a particular
channel’s output or an
individual speaker.
The Solo Test mode is also
ideal if you wish to determine
the information coming out of
a particular channel.

The Cinema Reference has a unique channel test feature called
Solo Test. When in the Solo Test mode, you can switch between
channels while playing an audio track. Thus, you can actually listen
to either all channels, or selectively to one channel. Typically, on
other processors, this would involve lowering all channels until they
could not be heard, then raising the volume of one channel. The
Cinema Reference permits you to engage one channel at a time by
just turning a knob. Furthermore, you can also raise and lower each
channel or all channels while directly in the Solo Test Mode.
This feature is ideal when you are trying to test a particular channel
output or speaker. It is also unique when toying around with six
channel encoded material. As such, you can instantly see for yourself, the effect one particular channel has with respect to the overall
sound field.
Software Note:
The DTS CD of the Eagles “Hell Freezes Over” album, contains a
bonus cut of “Seven Bridges Road”. While this cut does feature
some instruments, the unique aspect of the recording is that each
vocalist is assigned to one of the five speaker channels. When playing this recording, the harmonies are actually mixing in the open
space of your home theater system, not in the recording studio. Use
the Solo Test mode to select one channel at a time and try to figure
out which voice is coming from which speaker. You need not be an
Eagles fan to enjoy this test.
To access the Cinema Reference’s Solo Test Mode:
1

Turn the CHANNEL knob until the second line of the display
reads SOLO TEST and press the CHANNEL knob.

At this time, the Cinema Reference is in the Solo Test mode.
You can now turn the CHANNEL knob to selectively access individual channels. There is even a SOLO SEQ
option which will cause the Cinema Reference to automatically sequence through all channels while in the Solo
Test mode.

While in the Solo Test mode, if you wish to raise or lower a
particular channel’s volume level, pressing of the CHANNEL knob while locked into a channel, engages the volume controller. Use the CHANNEL knob to raise and lower
volume levels.

To exit the Solo Test mode, simply turn any knob other than
the CHANNEL knob.
