Recording Output
The Cinema Reference Mach II features a recording output which permits selection of a stereo (ana-
log) audio signal, as well as composite and S-Video, independent of the output playing in the theater
environment. This is useful for either sending a signal to a recording device, a high-end two channel
audio system, a second monitor, a second zone, or perhaps even a multi-room system. There are
some rules that must be considered when working with the Cinema Reference Mach II’s record out-
put. Connect the component you wish to record to as shown.
Record Audio Output Only
Passes Analog Audio Inputs
The record audio output only
passes analog audio. Regard-
less of the number of digital
sources connected to your
system, only the eight analog
audio inputs are available
through the record output. The
record output is designed to
satisfy purists who want to be
able to select an audio source
without any analog/digital con-
version. As such, digital
sources are not down-con-
verted to analog.
Record Video Output Only Passes Composite or S-Video
Composite video and S-Video are also not converted to each other. As such, only a composite video
input is passed through the composite video output. Also, S-Video inputs are only passed through S-
Video outputs.
Record Audio Outputs Do Not Pass Digital Audio Inputs
In order to play a digital source through the analog record output, you will need to connect that
component’s analog audio output to the Cinema Reference Mach II in addition to its digital audio
output. Furthermore, because each input label can only have one audio input assigned to it (analog 1-
8, digital 1-4, or optical 1-4), you will need to use alternate input labels which share the same video
jacks but are assigned to alternate analog audio input.
For example, if you want to record your DSS receiver to a VCR and your DSS receiver is connected
digitally to the Cinema Reference for Dolby Digital surround sound, you will need to connect the DSS
receiver’s analog audio output to an open analog audio input.
The Cinema Reference Mach II’s Out of the Box input configuration already has A record specific input
label for DSS, whose primary audio connection will always be digital. For the other three components
that could be set to an alternate digital audio input, including DVR/PVR, CABLE/TV, or CD PLAYER,
there are also record input labels that access their original analog audio input. The chart below details
these Out of the Box options.
