Laser Disc or Combination Laser Disc/DVD Player
The Cinema Reference is preprogrammed to permit you to easily
connect a combination laser disc & DVD player. You will need to
make two audio connections in for this unit to play the following:
Dolby Digital Laser Discs, Pro Logic Laser Discs, DTS Laser Discs,
Dolby Digital DVDs, 2 Channel Dolby Digital DVDs, Stereo CDs,
and DTS CDs.
All connections should use a 75 Ohm coaxial cable. If none are
available, standard RCA video interconnects will work.
Connection 1 - Laser Disc Player’s AC-3 RF Output - You will need
to connect the combi-players “AC-3•RF Output” (LD
for Laser Disc)
to the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player #1 “RF IN”. This con-
nects the laser disc’s AC-3 RF output to the Cinema Reference’s
internal AC-3 RF Demodulator.
Connection 2 - Cinema Reference’s RF Demodulator’s Output - You
will need to connect the Cinema Reference’s Laser Disc Player’s
Digital Output (Black RCA Connector) to the Cinema Reference’s
#4 Digital Audio Input (Orange RCA Connector). This “Laser Disc
AC-3 Loop Cable” passes the demodulated laser disc AC-3 signal
to a digital audio input which will then decode it.
Connection 3 - Laser Disc Player’s PCM/AC-3 Digital Output - You
will need to connect the combi-players digital output that is marked
by both PCM and AC-3 to the Cinema Reference’s #1 Digital Audio
Input (Orange RCA Connector). This input will pass audio for all
AC-3 playback from a laser disc.
Connection 4 - Laser Disc Player’s Video Output - You will need to
connect the laser disc player’s video output (Composite Video) to
the Cinema Reference’s #1 Video Input.
Connection 5 (Optional) - Laser Disc Player’s S-Video Output - You
may also choose to connect the S-Video (Super Video) output of
the laser disc player to the Cinema Reference S-Video #1 input.
This will require a special super video cable. Please note, if your
projector or TV does not have a super video input, you will not need
to make this connection as the Cinema Reference does not cross
convert S-Video to Composite Video.
The diagram to the right details all of these connections. If your
combi-player does not have an RCA style digital audio output for
PCM/AC-3, it may have an optical digital audio output for PCM/AC-
3 playback. In this case you will need to alter the
LASER/DVD 1
input. The steps to change the input from a digital to an optical input
is discussed at the bottom of the following page.
The “Out Of The Box” setup
presumes that your
combination laser disc/DVD
player has the following
outputs:
Digital Audio PCM/AC-3
Coax (RCA) Type Output
AC-3•RF Output (LD)
Video Output
(Composite RCA Type)
Your combi-player may also
include a super video output.
Please note, the Cinema
Reference does not cross mix
video signals. As such, if you
wish to use a component’s S-
Video output, you will need to
connect an S-Video cable
from the Cinema Reference to
the TV or Projector.
Use the diagram on the
following page to make your
combi-player connections.
ADA suggests using a quality
75
Ω
Coaxial cable. In the
event that none are available,
you can use standard RCA
interconnects.
If your combi-player does not
have an RCA Type Digital
Audio PCM/AC-3 Coax output
but rather has only an Optical
Digital PCM/AC-3 output, you
will need to change the
programming for this input.
These steps are discussed at
the bottom of the following
page.
