The Cinema Rhapsody

Mach 4 features a dualprimary type of power supply that operates on

115V~/60Hz as well as

230V~/50Hz.

When using the Cinema

Rhapsody Mach 4 with non-US Standard

AC power cords, the user must supply the appropriate EIC Female to

Male AC power cord.

Before You Begin

As you remove the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 from its packaging, inspect the condition of the component prior to proceeding with the following steps for AC connection. In the event that the Cinema

Rhapsody Mach 4 appears to have suffered cosmetic damage due to shipping, please contact your Authorized ADA Dealer immediately and do not proceed to plug the unit into an AC outlet.

AC Connection

For customers who are using the U.S. standard AC receptacle, you will use the EIC AC Power Cord provided with the Cinema Rhapsody

Mach 4. Simply plug this AC cord into an operative AC outlet. For customers who are using a non-U.S. standard AC receptacle, you will need to acquire an EIC AC Power Cord with the appropriate receptacle connector. ADA only provides AC Power Cords with the

U.S. standard AC prongs.

Audio Connections

The Cinema Rhapsody’s Audio Outputs are clearly marked in a white field on the back of the unit.

ADA strongly suggests not using directional interconnects that lift the grounds. This diagram includes

ADA’s PTM-8150 Eight Channel Power Amplifier. While you may decide to vary the input arrangement if you are using a PTM-8150, the following input arrangement will cause the amplifier’s front panel LED display to spread outward from Channel 4, the center channel speaker. If you are using a self-powered subwoofer, you will connect the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4’s SUB Output directly to the subwoofer and you may opt to “Y” split the SUB output to illuminate channel eight of the PTM-8150.

The Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 features two low voltage triggers that can be used among other things, to turn ADA power amplifiers on and off. Unlike the switched

AC outlet, which turns on and off with the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4, the lowvoltage triggers are set to track inputs on the preamplifier. In the setup mode, you can determine if either trigger one or trigger two (or both) engage with that input or not. When triggering a power amplifier using the low voltage triggers, ADA’s out of the box setup has Trigger 1 engaging with all inputs.

ADA power with a PAC Module (Programmable Amplifier Controller) permit amplifier channel pairs to be assigned to track independent zone triggers (for use in multi-room systems). The amplifiers can also be set to “Fast Turn On” so that the amplifier can be used for paging (amplifier remains on and charged even when the trigger is off). In a home theater system, zone triggering and fast turn on are not required. If an ADA PAC amplifier is ordered with an ADA home theater pre-

L C amplifier will turn off completely. Here, the Mach III will also ship with a 9-pin D to two-wire cable that can be terminated to Low Voltage Trigger 1 on the Mach III

Features

The Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 acts as both an input selector and surround sound decoder. It is capable of decoding Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio, Multi-Channel PCM from sources that connected using an HDMI cable as well as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital (AC-3), and DTS encoded formats and also provide Lucasfilm THX Ultra 2 enhancements and filters. While the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 can automatically detect between Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, and Dolby Digital/Dolby Pro

Logic (both decoding formats are used when playing two-channel encoded DVD discs {typically older movies available on DVD that are not mixed in six channels}), the option to engage either full THX enhancements or only THX Re-EQ must be manually set on the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4. The Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 also provides several additional modes ideal for music playback. There are additional settings that permit the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 to also operate in home theaters where a full eight channel speaker array may only be partially implemented (i.e. no back surround and/or no center channel). Furthermore, the Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 also permits each channel to be set to its own volume level with respect to all other channels as well as have its own delay setting. These features and more are discussed in the upcoming sections.

Custom Input Configuration

The Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 is an incredibly flexible home theater controller that can accommodate a wide array of components. For easy and quick setup, one can use the “Out of the Box” input configuration. One can also elect to do a completely “Custom Input” configuration or a combination of “Out of the Box” and “Custom Input” configurations.

There are several Cinema Rhapsody Mach 4 features specific to each input including:

Input Labeling - The ability to rename input labels to match more closely a specific setup. For example, you can relabel the input labeled SATELLITE to read DSS SAT. You need to limit the input label to

12 characters including spaces, symbols and numbers. ADA strongly suggests that as you rename inputs, you maintain their numeric reference (i.e. the 3 in CABLE/TV 3). From a control standpoint, this will make it easier to maintain a link between the input and the input command.

Final Input - The ability to reduce from 20, the number of input labels seen turning the input knob. If you have say only six components, you can limit the Final Input number to read 6. Please note that this eliminates the display from showing input labels 7-20. If you had an input label that you wanted to use above input label 6 (i.e. MULTI-ROOM), you would relabel one for the first six inputs to read

MULTI-ROOM. Obviously, you may also need to re-assign input jacks (see below).

AV Input Jack Assignment - The ability to have HDMI & audio input jacks track input labels as they are selected. If you are assigning an AV source using an HDMI input, you can opt to route the audio via the HDMI input or alternately, via an analog or digital audio input. Typically you will select HDMI for the audio input as this permits the Suite 7.1 to process the high-resolution audio formats (Dolby

TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, or multi-channel PCM). For audio only sources (analog or digital), you can turn the HDMI input OFF or alternately, you can select a specific video input. For example, if while listening to the music playing in the multi-room system you wish to also watch the video image of the satellite receiver (a sporting event), you could have the Satelllite’s HDMI jack track the audio from the Multi-Room input.

Default Modes - When an input is selected, pre-assigned modes for 5.1 or 2 channel audio automatically engage. This way, the best possible mode always engages.

Input Presets - There are a total of six features that can be engaged when an input is selected. These include a starting volume preset, balance preset (includes levels and delays), tone preset, parametric equalizer (PEQ) preset, and speaker preset which includes active speakers, whether they roll-off and their roll-off frequency. The last feature involves setting an audio delay for that input.

HDMI Downmix - The ability to have the TV play audio via its internal speakers.

While you can limit the number of inputs to just the number of sources that are connected (using Final

Input) and then rename (Input Labeling), re-link the sources (AV Input Jack Assignment), and assign surround modes (Default Modes), the ability to custom label inputs has other benefits.

For example, if the DVD player is used for both film and music playback, you could create an input label called DVD FILM and a second input label called DVD MUSIC. While both labels would access the same AV Input Jack, you could then set a set of Default Modes for DVD FILM that were film like

(i.e. DISCRETE+EX/ES & PLII MOVIE) while the Default Modes for DVD MUSIC were set to THX

MUSIC and QUAD BYPASS. This way, the user simply selects the appropriate input and does not think about then selecting modes. Note that if you are going to use multiple input labels for one or more sources, your Final Input number will need to be increased.
