4 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the display’s second line reads FINAL INPUT and press
the Mode knob.
5 Turn the Mode knob counterclockwise until the display’s second line reads the appropriate
final input number. This number is displayed after the input label name. For this step,
disregard the name of the input labels as these can be altered later. Please note, that if the
display flashes the words CONFLICT WITH and then an input label, you have reached an
input that is still being directed to either the main or the record output. You will notice that
the Cinema Reference will not permit you to select a Final Input that is below an actively
selected input, hence the conflict warning. To permit a Final Input below this number, exit
the setup mode and make certain to select both a main Input and Record input lower than
your desired final input.
6 Turn the Volume knob to exit this setup operation.
At this time, turning of either the Input or Record knob will display only the first eight input label names.
Final Input is the first step under Custom Input Configuration because it sets the number of inputs to
correspond to the number of device connections. Again, if some of the input labels do not match the
components in your system, the next steps will permit you to make these custom changes as well.
Label Inputs
The Cinema Reference Mach II permits you to alter any input label. The label length allows for up to
twelve letters, characters, and/or numbers. ADA strongly suggests leaving the original number (i.e.
the number “8” as in AUXILIARY 8) in place. This number refers to the inputs position for control
purposes and is important when selecting inputs from a remote control, PC, or control system. Elimi-
nating this number from the input label does not defeat the ability for the input to be selected from a
control, it just makes it harder for you to identify it numerically.
Now that you have set the final input, ADA suggests renaming any input label that does not match your
system. In the example used for Final Input, where the system will consist of eight input labels:
DVD, DSS, DVR/PVR, VCR, CABLE/TV, CD, TUNER, DSS RECORD
with the current display reading
DVD, DSS, DVR/PVR, VCR, CABLE/TV, CD PLAYER, TUNER, AUXILIARY
ADA suggests leaving as many Out of the Box input labels (and their configuration) alone. This will
permit you to customize your system faster and easier. For example, in viewing the current display
input label options, it appears that only one input label really requires any change (AUXILIARY). We
will need to change this to DSS RECORD. Naturally, if you are particular about the order components
appear as you turn the Input or Record knobs, you may wish to alter other input labels as well. If so,
remember that you will also need to reassign several other Out of the Box and Default settings as well.
ADA provides a PC program (Cinema Ref PCOS) that permits you to make these and further changes
quite easily. You will need either an ISO-232 or IRT-3000 to communicate from your PC to the Cinema
Reference Mach II. This is discussed in the section marked PC Control.
When entering the LABEL INPUT setup mode on the Cinema Reference Mach II, there are three
tiered levels in which you navigate. The first level permits you to select the input label you wish to
alter. Even though you may have already specified a Final Input, all twenty input labels appear in this
level.
