The Cinema Reference Mach II incorporates a record selector that
operates independently from the actual source component selected
for the home theater room. This record selector can be used in
several ways.
1 Use the Record Selector to send audio and video signals
from a particular component to a recording device (i.e. VCR)
2 Use the Record Selector to send a video signals to a second
monitor or TV set. Ideal for the sports fanatic, this option would
permit a second TV to display a broadcast from a DSS receiver, TV
tuner, or VCR TV tuner, while the primary viewing display would be
set to a particular channel from another component.
3 Use the Record Selector to determine the image inserted
into a 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 sys-
tem. This setup would cause the Record Selector to act as a sepa-
rate zone from the actual home theater.
Please note, that the Record audio output of the Cinema Refer-
ence Mach II is a pure analog output. There is no analog-to-
digital or digital-to-analog conversion taking place in this cir-
cuit. This preserves the audio quality for those who opt to use
the Record output to pass audio to a premium two-channel
audio system. If a component is connected to a digital input
on the Cinema Reference Mach II, a special setup will need to
be done in order for the unit to play through the record output.
This is discussed under Recording Connections.

Record Selector knob. To
change components:
