THANK YOU
Congratulations on becoming a Cinema 11a owner!
We, at Cary Audio Design, would like to thank you for purchasing the new Cinema 11a HD
Surround Sound Processor. The Cinema 11a is the latest generation of our award-winning
surround sound processors.
The Cinema 11a is the ultimate in surround sound processors. Utilizing the Cirrus Logic CS49700
series chipset and HDMI v1.3, the Cinema 11a has the ability to properly decode and playback
both the raw bit stream and lossless linear PCM signals from the latest high resolution formats,
including Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio. The Cinema 11a has the ability to set separate Listener Profile speaker settings for
playback of Music and Movies. The Cinema 11a uses the best available components in the audio
circuit, resulting in extraordinary sound quality, which is a trademark of Cary Audio Design
products. The Cinema 11a contains an HD radio tuner for the highest resolution signals from FM
broadcasts.
The Cinema 11a was designed for ease of use whether in normal home surround sound systems
or in more complex custom installations. It has an independent 2 nd zone so you can experience
surround sound in your main home theater room as well as 2 nd zone stereo sound in a different
location. A 2 nd zone separate remote handset comes standard with the Cinema 11a so control of
the input source selection in each of the two zones is at your fingertips.
All Main zone audio output connectors have 24 bit/192 kHz D/A converters operating in dual
differential mode for excellent sound quality and high dynamic range. In addition, the Cinema
11a includes 7.1 channel XLR balanced audio outputs for the Main zone if you are using a power
amplifier equipped with balanced input connections.
The Cinema 11a was designed to remain viable in a future of rapidly emerging and changing
digital technologies. It has a rear panel RS-232 serial port connector that provides for home
automation serial control, and it allows us to provide flash memory upgrades.
We firmly believe in high performance products that offer incredible value for the money. With its
leading edge technology, exceptional sound performance, and ease of use, the Cinema 11a is
without question, the highest performing surround sound processor available today.
Thank you for your continued support and enjoy your Music and Movies!
