14 Turn the INPUT knob to a component that is typically hotter
than other components (i.e. a DVD disc, laser disc, or
CD) and begin to play that component. Raise or lower
the master VOLUME knob to suit your listening level.
When you have reached a desired level, turn the CHAN-
NEL knob to VOL RECALL 1 and press and hold the
CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL STORED 1.
At this time you have programmed the Cinema Reference’s Volume
Preset #1 to levels that are consistent with the pink noise test sweeps
(if done) and this preset corresponds to a listening level comfortable
with respect to your listening environment.
Bass Volume Presets - While the five main channels should be set
to the same level as you select from one source to another, ADA has
experienced that the subwoofer level for different components and
decoding modes can be significantly different. As such, a bass level
for one input might need to be lower for another input. The Cinema
Reference is equipped to handle this issue as each input can have
its own bass level setting stored into VOL PRESET 1. To set the
bass level for all other inputs, you will need to select each input one
at a time, adjust the bass level to taste and load it into the preset.
15 Turn the INPUT knob to the next device and engage the com-
ponent into play.
16 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the second line of the display
reads SUB and a number. Press the CHANNEL knob.
17 Raise and lower the CHANNEL knob and the subwoofer will
go up and down in volume. When you have a desired
subwoofer level, press the CHANNEL knob.
18 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL RE-
CALL 1. Press and hold the CHANNEL knob until the
display reads VOL STORED 1.
19 Proceed with steps 15-18 until all active inputs have been
calibrated.
The Cinema Reference is
capable of setting different
bass levels for each one your
components. While the main
five channels levels remain
the same, each input would
engage a different bass level.
This permits you to contour
the bass sound based on the
source component, the
decoding mode, and the
software. As different
decoding modes and their
software have varying levels
of bass, you will find this
feature very useful.
Note:
In order to load in a bass level
for each one of your
components, you will need to
select that component and
then adjust its bass level while
the unit is in play. After you
have set a bass level you like,
you will need to load the
current volume setting into
the Volume Preset #1, using
the same steps that were
required to load the preset on
the previous pages.
