At this time you have already connected all or most of your audio
video components to the Cinema Reference. If you are satisfied
with the component connections to the Cinema Reference, you need
not continue with this section. As the Cinema Reference is
preprogrammed in the factory for optimum performance, you will
not necessarily need to custom program your unit.
In the event that you want to custom program your Cinema Refer-
ence, this section will discuss altering audio and video inputs linked
to a particular Input Label.
Each Input Label is nothing but a name. Assigned to each name is
an audio input, a video input, a super video input, a component
video input, and an AC-3 RF input (RF see page 38). Even a radio
tuner, that does not have a video output, will have a video output
possibly connected to another device, linked to it. As such each
Input Label has several Cinema Reference rear panel jacks tied to
it. The beauty behind the Cinema Reference, is that these jacks are
linked in software and can be easily switched using the steps below.
Please note, you can also alter the way the Input Label reads. This
is discussed on the next page, Custom Setup - Labeling Inputs.
To alter a components audio and video inputs:
1
Select the device you wish to alter by turning the INPUT knob
until the second line of the display reads the device name
and press the INPUT knob.
2
Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.
3
Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads the
type of input you wish to alter for this component.
If you want to alter an analog input, turn to ANALOG INPUT
If you want to alter a video input, turn to VIDEO INPUT.
If you want to alter an S-Video input, turn to S-VIDEO INPUT.
If you want to alter an component video input, turn to RGB INPUT.
When you have selected the type of input you wish to alter,
press the MODE knob.
4
Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the new input
you are connected to and then press the MODE knob to
engage that input.
5
Proceed with step three to alter other inputs for this compo-
nent.
6
If you wish to exit this mode, simply turn the INPUT knob.
Custom Setup - A/V Linking
The Cinema Reference can be
custom configured, permitting
you to link any Analog, Video,
S-Video, Component Video,
and LASER AC-3 RF (RF
Inputs are discussed on the
next page) input jack to a
particular Input Label. You
can also modify or completely
change the name of an Input
Label. And finally, under Pro
Setup, you can even limit the
number of Input Labels that
appear as you turn the INPUT
knob. While this is discussed
further under Pro Setup, if
you wish to fully customize
your Cinema Reference, such
that you only see the number
of devices you are using, you
will first need to:
A
Determine the number
of components you are
connecting to your Cinema
Reference and set the Final
Input limit to correspond to
this number (see Pro Setup).
B
Now that you have the
exact number of Input Labels
you need, you will most likely
need to alter the Input Labels
as some of the names may
not be displayed exactly as
you wish them to. (See next
page - Altering Input Labels)
C
Once you have the
Input Labels sequencing in
order as you wish them to,
you may also need to alter the
audio and video connections
linked to this input label.
These steps are discussed in
the paragraph to the left
(Custom Setup - AV Linking).
