Under the Solo sub-tab, you can selectively engage on speaker at a time. This tab also details system
information including Input and Output formats. Under the Tones sub-tab, there are two addition subsub
tabs marked Group A and Group B. Under the Group A tab, you can determine which speakers are
active in Group A, the Frequency point for Treble and the Treble Level. You can do the same for Bass,
setting both the Bass Frequency point and the Bass Level. Under the Group B tab, you can determine
which speakers are active in Group A, the Frequency point for Treble and the Treble Level. You can do
the same for Bass, setting both the Bass Frequency point and the Bass Level. Once you have set
speakers up in these two groups and adjusted their level, you can opt to Store these settings on one of
the four Tone Presets by pressing the corresponding Tones Store number. The Misc tab allows you to
set the volume using a sliding control at the top of this window. You can also set the Cinema Reference
Mach II’s maximum volume level and select the Turn-On Volume Preset. DTS LFE settings are also
adjusted on this page.
Under the Pro Setup tab, there are six sub-tabs that are in order according to THX setup suggestions.
The 1-Speaker tab permits you to determine the size of the speakers. For the subwoofer, you can
determine if one exists in your system and also set the Crossover Frequency point. Under 2-Levels, you
can set the balance levels using an SPL meter. Here you can engage the Cinema Reference Mach II’s
internal pink-noise generator to facilitate this setup. Once setup is completed, you can also Store the
Balance Preset in one of the four Balance Presets by simply pressing the Balance Store number. The 3-
Delay sub-tab permits you to set the delays for each channel. ADA reminds you to keep at least one
speaker set to 0 as this is the speaker that is the greatest distance from the seating area. All speakers
that are closer to the seating area should have their delays set accordingly.
Under the 4-Bass tab, you can set the Bass limiters level and even engage subwoofer pink noise. Under
the 5-THX sub-tab, you can turn Boundary Gain on or off and also adjust the ASA setting. Under the
Remote sub-tab, you can use single steps to proceed through all of the Cinema Reference Mach II
steps one by one, using a Execute,. Previous, and Next step button. These features exist to permit the
Cinema Reference Mach II to be setup using the OSD output in conjunction with a hand-held IR
remote control.
