The Cinema Reference has the ability to be controlled in a network
with other ADA Bus™ components, including multiple Cinema Ref-
erences.  As such, the Cinema Reference has the ability to be set to
as many as 256 addresses.  Typically, the factory default address
for the Cinema Reference is Bus Address 0.  At this address setting,
the Cinema Reference operates with its infrared remote control.

When using the Cinema Reference in an ADA Bus™ multi-zone
audio/video system, you may need to alter the address setting to
have the Cinema Reference also operate in conjunction with that
zone’s ADA Bus™ keypad.

The Cinema Reference also has a setting whereby the bi-drectional
control option via the ADA Bus™ jack is completely off.  To select
this feature, set the Network Bus Address to “255”.

To change the Bus Address:

1

While in the Pro Setup mode, turn the MODE knob until the

display reads NETWORK BUS and then press the MODE
knob.

2

Turn the MODE knob until you have set the Network Bus to

the desired address setting (from 0 {default standard} to
254 - 255 turns the bidirectional control/feedback option
off).

3

When you have the desired address setting on the Cinema

Reference’s display, press the MODE knob to engage the
address.

4

To exit the Network Bus Setup Mode without leaving the Pro

Setup Mode, press the MODE knob.  If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.

Pro Setup - Network Bus

The Cinema Reference can be
set to one of 255 ADA Bus™
Address settings.  The
standard factory default
address is “0”.  This address
permits the Cinema Reference
to be controlled by its infrared
remote control.
