As discussed on the previous page, the Cinema Rhapsody will typi-
cally apply an A/V Link to each Input Label. Thus, if you select the
TUNER 8 input and leave your TV & VCR on, you will still see the
VCR’s video image even though you are listening to the radio tuner.
Each Input Label will have a video and S-video follower.
The Cinema Rhapsody uses a unique circuit whereby it can auto-
detect an AC-3 or DTS signal. This auto detection will permit the
Cinema Rhapsody to change its active decoding mode between an
AC-3, DTS, or non-5.1 mode depending on the software. Since a
single input could auto-mode between as many as three different
decoding formats, and since each decoding format has several en-
hancement and filter options available, ADA has made it very easy
to setup the Cinema Rhapsody to play your desired format option
automatically.
When you select an input that is programmed to auto-mode, begin
playing some software from that component. The Cinema Rhap-
sody will auto detect the correct decoding format. At that time, you
may turn the mode knob to one of the other mode options. When
you begin playing software that needs to be decoded in this same
format, the Cinema Rhapsody will engage the last selected format
option.
As an example, suppose your DVD player is connected to the Cin-
ema Rhapsody to play Dolby Digital (AC-3) DVDs, PCM CDs, DTS
DVDs, and DTS CDs. Furthermore, suppose you prefer AC-3 UL-
TRA decoding for AC-3 software, QUAD BYBASS for standard CDs,
and DTS DIRECT for DTS DVDs and CDs, all you would do is to
place the first piece of software in the DVD player. If this were an
Dolby Digital (AC-3) DVD, the auto detection might very well first
engage AC-3 THX. You can then turn the mode knob to AC-3 UL-
TRA and then press the mode knob to secure this mode. Any time
you play an AC-3 DVD from this point forward, the Cinema Rhap-
sody will auto-mode to AC-3 ULTRA. To further insure proper setup,
continue to test the auto-mode circuit with a standard CD. Again,
the Cinema Rhapsody will engage a two channel surround mode,
typically Pro Logic. Turn the mode knob to QUAD BYPASS and
press it. From this point forward, non-5.1 formatted material will
automatically play in QUAD BYPASS. Finally, play a DTS CD or
DVD. Once DTS locks in, turn the mode knob to DTS DIRECT and
press it. As with AC-3 and two-channel formats, from this point for-
ward, the DTS automode default format will be DTS DIRECT.
Please note, if your default mode is set to any DTS mode, if
auto detection occurs for either AC-3 or two-channel software,
the Cinema Rhapsody will engage to either AC-3 THX or Pro
Logic THX, regardless of the last mode used for that format.
Custom Setup - Auto Mode
The Cinema Rhapsody
incorporates a unique Auto
Mode detection circuit for AC-
3, DTS, and non-5.1 software.
When Auto Mode is set to on
for a Laser Disc or DVD
component, the Cinema
Rhapsody will automatically
switch to an appropriate
decoding mode.
When an input is set to auto-
mode on, it will engage the
best possible decoding mode.
As each 5.1 and the two
channel format have several
options, you can select which
option you want engaged
during an auto-mode
detection sequence. As the
Cinema Rhapsody will recall
the last mode format option
used, you can setup your
Cinema Rhapsody by simply
dialing in a mode for both AC-
3 and DTS 5.1 software and a
decoding option for two
channel software.
