Setting Up the Suite 7.1
Suite 7.1 Base Unit
If you are installing the Suite 7.1 base unit without the front panel display and controls, you will need
to use the specially designed software application called the Cinema Reference Mach II POS II. (new
generic name?). Refer to the section in this manual that describes this program in detail. A 3.5” floppy
disk with this software application is included with your Suite 7.1.
Default Settings for Out of the Box Operation
The ADA Suite 7.1 is an incredibly flexible component that can accommodate a wide variety of audio
and video components. To speed up the setup process, you can use the default settings that are preset at
the factory. The table below lists the default configurations for each of the inputs. Of course, you can
customize the Suite 7.1 for your particular system, but the default settings give you a logical head start.

Customizing the Inputs
As described in the connection section, there are four audio, video, and digital inputs to the Suite 7.1.
However, there are up to twenty “virtual” inputs in the setup program. This allows you to customize
inputs for different applications. For example, you could use the same DVD player for two completely
different playback situations of movies and music. During setup, you can assign different video inputs,
digital inputs, and processing modes and enhancements to each of the “virtual inputs”. Here is an
example of this setup option:
DVD Movies:
Video Input Component 1 (routed to the main TV)
Digital Input Digital 1 (coax 1)
Mode THX +ES/EX
DVD Music:
Video Input Composite (routed to a keypad, for example)
Digital Input Digital 1 (coax 1)
Mode Pro Logic II Music with stereo enhancement
