Cyrus Phono Signature commands

• Commands are sent to the Phono Signature via keys reserved from the amplifier control system.
• The remote control operates in the same way as the front panel controls – press a key to select a function, change that setting with the ‘CURSOR’ keys, and confirm the setting with ‘ENTER/SELECT’.
• This page lists commands that will control the Phono Signature.
• Press the CYRUS key to set the remote control to Cyrus mode.
• You can now control both a Cyrus amplifier and the Phono Signature. The CYRUS key will flash red when commands are being sent in this mode.

Remote control learning

• In addition to controlling Cyrus components, the remote control can learn the commands from two other remote control handsets.
• These will normally be a TV and a satellite or terrestrial TV receiver, programmed to the ‘TV’ and ‘SAT’ buttons, but could also be other audio components.
• All keys may be programmed except for the groups marked ‘CONTROL’ and ‘SOURCE’ and the ‘SETUP’ key.

Preparation for learning

• Check the following points before attempting to learn any commands –
• Check that both remote controls have fresh batteries.
• Choose a location on a tabletop that is not brightly lit.
• Subdued light is better, away from bright natural or indoor lighting.
• Check that you have enough time to spare to complete the learning process for all the keys you want to use. Learning commands
• In this example, the Cyrus remote control will be learning commands from a ‘reference’ satellite receiver remote control.

1. Set the two remote controls up facing each other, spaced by about 5cm.
2. Press the ‘TV’ or ‘SAT’ key to select the mode that you want to program.
   • The keypad will light and the key you selected will be red.
3. Press and hold the ‘SETUP’ key. The mode key will change to white.
   • After about three seconds, the mode key will light red again. This indicates that the remote control is ready to learn codes.
4. Release the ‘SETUP’ key.
   • The remote control is now waiting to learn commands.
   • The keypad will light continually and the mode key will light pale red.
5. On the reference remote control, press and hold the first key you want to learn (for example, volume up) until the mode key flashes red.
   • This indicates that the command has been received.
6. Release the key on the reference remote control.
7. Press a key on the Cyrus remote control (volume up in this example) to select where you want to save that command.
   • The mode key will stop flashing. This indicates that the command has been saved successfully.
   • If the learning process was successful, the remote control will be ready to learn the next command.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each command you want to learn.
   • When you have completed learning all commands
   • Press the ‘SETUP’ key.
   • The mode key will change to white. After a few seconds, the backlight will switch off.

Checking programmed commands

• Select the mode that you just programmed and check that the commands were learned successfully.
• NOTE: The ‘TV’ or ‘SAT’ mode key should flash red when sending a command. If the mode key is not flashing, then the command has not been learned correctly.
• Make a note of any commands that have not been programmed correctly and repeat the learning process to add these in.
• NOTE: When you start the learning process it does not erase any programmed keys so you can re-program individual keys if required.

Problems with learning

• If none of the commands have been learned correctly, try restarting the learning process again. Test a few keys first to ensure that your handset is compatible with learning. If the test works then continue to program the rest of the commands you need.
• If you still have problems, check carefully that the mode light is flashing correctly as you send a command to learn.
• If not, it may be that the batteries need replacement in the reference handset or that the spacing between the handsets is not ideal. Try adjusting the spacing between the handsets and repeating the learning process.
• If you continue to have problems, it may be that your handset is incompatible with the learning process. This could happen with an older design of a handset or one that has an unusual code set.

Sending TV or SAT commands

• Once you have programmed all the keys with the commands you want, you can use the remote control to send commands to your TV or Satellite receiver, etc.
• Press the ‘TV’ or ‘SAT’ key to select the mode you want.
• Press the command key.
• The mode key will flash red when sending a programmed command.

Stream-XR setup menus

• Setup menus enable extensive customization of the user interface.

Setup options

• The next two pages show a map of the menu options available.

Navigating the menu from the remote control

• Press to open the menu home page.
• Press or to step through the available options.
