Each Input Label can have a mode automatically engaged
whenever that input is accessed. This eliminates the confu-
sion of having to figure out what mode to select every time
that device is engaged. The “Out Of The Box Setup” has al-
ready programmed the Input Labels to engage the most ap-
propriate decoding mode for the various devices. If you wish
to alter the Default Mode for one or all of the devices follow
these steps.
Please note, that for non-5.1 channel components, the default
mode is always engaged when that input is selected. You
may still change modes while on this input. If desired, you
may also engage the option of “Last Used”.
If you have selected a component that is set to auto-mode
(Auto-Mode On), the default mode will have different proper-
ties. Since auto-mode will engage one of three decoding for-
mats (AC-3, DTS, or 2-channel) based on the input signal, one single
default mode (or prefered) is required. As such, these “defaults” are
simply set during the playback of a software segment encoded in
that mode. During playback, turn the mode knob to select the de-
sired option for that mode (i.e. DTS DIRECT, DTS THX, DTS RE-
EQ, etc.). Every time from this point forward a DTS software seg-
ment is played on this input, the last used DTS decoding option will
engage (i.e. DTS THX). The same is true for AC-3 modes or two-
channel modes. This “last mode type played” default-to feature will
always operate if the input’s Default Mode is set to “Last Used”. If
you set the Default Mode to either an AC-3 or two-channel mode,
when that mode is detected, the Cinema Reference will engage the
Default Mode rather than the mode format option that was last used.
If you select any DTS mode as the Default Mode, when either an
AC-3 or two-channel mix is detected, the Cinema Reference will
only engage either AC-3 THX or PRO LOGIC THX, respectively.
To set or alter the Default Mode:
1
Turn the INPUT knob until the input that you wish to alter
appears on the second line of the display and then 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
DEFAULT MODE press the MODE knob. The top line of
the display will read the current default mode.
4
Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired de-
fault mode or the words LAST USED, or AUTO MODE.
Then press the MODE knob to lock in that default mode.
5
Turn the INPUT knob to the next input you wish to alter and
press the INPUT knob. Then proceed with steps 2-4.
Custom Setup - Default Mode
The Cinema Reference’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup has
assigned Default Modes to
each input. If you are altering
the Out Of The Box Setup,
chances are you will also wish
to alter the default modes for
the inputs you have changed.
For components set to Auto
Mode Off, the Cinema
Reference will always engage
the specified Default Mode
including the option of “Last
Used”.
For components that are set
to Auto Mode On, the default
mode will apply as the go to
mode, providing a better
decoding option is not
detected. You may also opt to
leave the Default Mode set to
LAST USED as in auto mode,
the Cinema Reference will
automatically engage the last
format option for that mode.
When DTS is selected as a
Default Mode in automode,
THX will always be applied to
either AC-3 or two channel
mixes.
