Theater (Main) Video Connections
To connect the Cinema Reference Mach II to your video display or line-doubler, first determine what
connections your device has. Generally speaking, this section will discuss the following three options:
an HD capable TV or projector, a line-doubler, or a TV or projector with only composite and S-Video
inputs.
HD Capable TV or Projector
With this type of display de-
vice, you will most likely have
a host of video inputs. As no
line-doubler device is present
with this type of system, you
can opt to use the line-doubler
built into the Cinema Refer-
ence Mach II. This doubler
also acts as an up-convertor
for composite video and S-
Video inputs. As such, there
is no need to connect either
composite or S-Video cables
to the TV/projector as these
signals are up-converted (and
doubled) internal to the Cin-
ema Reference Mach II and
come out of the VGA/HDTV
Processed output. This is in
addition to any VGA/RGBHV
inputs to the Cinema Refer-
ence Mach II. The only addi-
tional connection that is re-
quired is the component video
connection because the Cin-
ema Reference’s internal dou-
bler/up-convertor does not do
anything to the component
video inputs.
The only additional connection that can be made is the composite video output of the Cinema Refer-
ence Mach II marked OSD. This output provides On Screen Display which may be useful during
setup.
As such, in this installation, when the display device is set to the composite video input, you will be
able to utilize the Cinema Reference’s on-screen readout during setup. Then for normal operation,
select either the VGA/HDTV input for VGA/RGBHV sources, S-Video sources, and even composite
video sources. For component video sources, such as DVD players or video games, set the TV/
projector to the component video input.
Line-Doublers
While you cannot see anything on a line-doubler, they are used to both up-convert, scale, and double
(or even quadruple) the incoming source signals. In high-end home theater installations, use of this
type of device between the Cinema Reference Mach II and the TV or projector is quite common.
Please note, that as you switch between inputs on the Cinema Reference, you may also need to
switch between inputs on your line-doubler.
