When the Cinema Reference is off, turning any knob or pushing any
knob other than the Volume knob will cause the Cinema Reference’s
center LCD display to indicate:
To turn on the Cinema Reference, providing the unit is not in
Mute, press the Volume knob once. Pressing of the Volume
knob performs only three functions.
If the unit is off, pressing it will turn it on.
If the unit is on, pressing it once will engage Mute.
If the unit is in Mute, pressing it again will turn it off.
(To regain the audio (exit Mute), turn any of one of the five
knobs or press any knob other than the Volume knob).
Once the Cinema Reference is
on, turning the Volume knob
will only raise or lower the
system’s volume level. This is
considered the Master Volume
Control as it will adjust all six
channels of volume, maintain-
ing the balance of levels that
are preset between channels.
Volume Reference
Since the home theater could
have as many as six different
volume levels, one for each of
the six channels, ADA uses the
highest volume level of the five main channels (not the sub) as the
reference level on the display. For example, if the volume levels for
Left, Left Surround, Right, and Right Surround are set to -10dB, the
subwoofer is set to -2dB, and the Center channel is set at -5dB, the
Volume level for ALL will indicate -5dB.
Upper Volume Limit
As the Cinema Reference closes in on the upper volume limit of
+10.0dB, all channels will raise to that limit stopping when the first of
the main five channels ceilings out at +10.0dB.
Lower Volume Limit
When the first channel reaches the lower volume limit of -96dB, all
other channels will stop lowering in volume level. Hitting either the
lower or upper volume limits will not alter the balance between chan-
nels.
Power On
Press the Cinema Reference’s
Volume knob to engage power
on.
Mute
While the Cinema Reference is
on, pressing it’s Volume knob
once will mute all channels.
Power Off
While the Cinema Reference is
in Mute, pressing the Volume
knob a second time will turn
the Cinema Reference off.
Un-Mute
While the Cinema Reference is
in Mute, turning any knob or
pressing any knob other than
the Volume knob, will regain
audio.
Power On/Off Via AC Control
If the Cinema Reference is on
when it is unplugged or when
power is removed through the
use of an AC Controller, it will
also automatically turn back
on when power is restored.
