Important – read before making any connections To avoid possible damage to your audio system, it is essential to disconnect all system components from the mains supply before connecting or disconnecting audio interconnects.
Connecting to the system amplifier

  • Connect a suitable stereo RCA phono interconnect between the ‘OUT1’ or ‘OUT2’ sockets and the corresponding input of the amplifier or receiver. Amplifier inputs suitable for this purpose are line inputs. Dual outputs are provided for convenient connection to multiroom units or for direct connection to tape/disc recorders etc.
    DO NOT connect these outputs to the PHONO input of the amplifier, as this could damage your amplifier or speakers. Connecting a digital amplifier or D/A converter
    Two digital outputs are provided to connect to a digital amplifier or D/A converter.Connecting with a cable

  • Connect a single, digital interconnect between the ‘DIGITAL OUTPUT’ coaxial socket and digital input of an amplifier or D/A converter.
    Connecting with optical interconnect

  • Connect a Toslink optical interconnect between the ‘DIGITAL OUTPUT’ optical port and an optical input of an amplifier or D/A converter. The cable connection is recommended for the best quality where this connection is available.
    NOTE: The digital output is only compatible with digital inputs. It is not suitable for connection to an analog amplifier.

External power supply – PSU-XR
The PSU-XR is a unique DC power supply that will upgrade the sonic performance of compatible products in the Cyrus range.

  • To connect a PSU-XR, disconnect both components from the mains.

  • Plug the multi-pin interconnect from the PSU-XR into the PSU-XR socket on the back panel.
    CAUTION: Use only the interconnect supplied with the
    PSU-XR. Other interconnects may damage the PSU-XR and the amplifier.

  • Connect a mains supply to both units.
    NOTE: The connection of a PSU-XR is detected automatically, so no internal adjustments are required.

How it works

The PSU-XR contains five separate power supplies. When a PSU-XR is connected to a Cyrus product, the power from the PSU-XR is applied to specific parts of the connected
product. The twin main power supply of the versatile PSU-XR can be configured to increase the power reserve available for power amplification and servo circuitry or provide ultrasmooth, low noise power for sensitive circuits such as analog preamplifiers. Three additional regulated power supplies can be simultaneously applied to other sensitive
preamplifiers or control circuits as required. Connection of a PSU-XR will also bring a secondary benefit significantly reducing the load placed on internal power supplies and therefore reducing any power supply-related noise artifacts that may appear within the internal circuitry.
MC-BUS system connection (optional) By using the MC-BUS connection, a highly functional integrated system with full remote control may be set up. This feature is useful if you own a Cyrus amplifier. Refer to the relevant product handbook for MC-BUS wiring instructions.
Connecting to the AC mains supply

  • Connect the socket on the AC Power cable to the AC  Power inlet the back panel.
  • Now connect the cable to a suitable AC powerpoint. There is no mains power switch. To switch off the mains supply remove the plug from the wall outlet. For this reason, ensure that the plug is easily accessible when installing the unit.

Firmware updates
The operational firmware may be upgraded from time to time to add new features and to fix operational issues. New firmware versions will be available from the ‘Support’
pages of the Cyrus website www.cyrusaudio.com. If new firmware is available, this will be packaged with other documents including –

  • Firmware version changelog.
  • Latest firmware update procedure.
  • Revised handbook (if required).

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 with the exception of 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.CYRUS CDiXR Integrated CD Player - commands 1

  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 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 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.
