Fun Modes
The Cinema Reference Mach II also features seven Fun Modes that may prove interesting to you.
Stereo 5, Mono 5, Stadium, Theater, Hall, Club, & Church
STEREO 5 - Stereo 5 is only capable of being engaged when playing two-channel source material.
This mode applies the stereo image across the entire sound field and will also play out of the
back surround speakers. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, RS, SBL, and SBR Output channel
lamps are on.
MONO 5 - Mono 5 is only capable of being engaged when playing two-channel source material. This
mode applies a mono image across the entire sound field and will also play out of the back
surround speakers. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, RS, SBL, and SBR Output channel lamps are
on.
The other five Fun Modes are room type modes; Stadium , Theater, Hall, Club, and Church. Unlike
either Cinema Modes which are specific to only multi-channel digital source material or Two Channel
Modes which are specific to only stereo or mono source material, these five Fun Modes can be ap-
plied to all types of material playing through the Cinema Reference Mach II (with the exception of DVD
Audio or SACD).
STADIUM - This mode is supposed to sound like a stadium and is useful for playback of a concert or
sporting event. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
THEATER - This mode is supposed to sound like a theater and is useful for playback of plays or
operas. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
HALL - This mode is supposed to sound like a hall and is useful for playback of chamber music. Here,
the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
CLUB - This mode is supposed to sound like a dance club and is useful for playback of music videos
and other dance music. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
CHURCH - This mode is supposed to sound like a church and is useful for playback of choral music.
Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
When playing a non-multi-channel source, to select one of these modes:
1 Turn the Mode knob until the display’s second line reads the desired mode and press the
Mode knob.
When playing a multi-channel source (i.e. DVD), these modes can also be applied. Please note, that
when selecting any of these modes, the multi-channel signal is first down-mixed to two-channel prior
to the mode effects being applied. This implies, that a 5.1 source is first mixed to 2.0 and then
delivered in 5.1 output. While the output is 5.1, the discrete input channels are no longer discrete on
the output. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
