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 the CDi-XR to the PHONO input of the amplifier, as this could damage your amplifier or speakers.
Connecting a Digital amplifier or D/A converter
The CDi-XR provides two digital outputs 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 a 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 of the CDi-XR is only compatible with digital inputs. It is not suitable for connection to an analogue 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 PSUXR. Other interconnects may damage the PSU-XR and the amplifier.
· Connect a mains supply to both units.
NOTE: 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 analogue preamplifiers.
Three additional regulated power supplies can be simultaneously applied to other sensitive preamplifier or control circuits as required.
Connection of a PSU-XR will also bring a secondary benefit by significantly reducing the load placed on internal power supplies and therefore reducing any power supply related noise artefacts 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 usable 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 power point.
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.

· Load a disc.
· Press the STORE key on the remote control once to set program mode (the display will read Enter Tracks’) or twice to set exclude mode (the display will readSkip Tracks’).
· Enter the sequence of tracks to be stored (or skipped) with the remote control numeric keypad.
A maximum of 30 tracks may be stored in the program memory. If an error is made in the programming sequence, press on the remote control or touch to cancel the last entry.
· When all the tracks have been stored, press the STORE key again on the remote control (the display will now read Program Ready’. · Set the player to play the disc. The tracks will play in the programmed sequence. NOTe: 1\.Memory full’ indication will show on the display when the program stored exceeds 30 tracks or a stored program time of 100 minutes or greater.
2. If disc playback is stopped while a program is stored, an extra stop command is needed to clear the memory. Thus:
· One stop command will stop the disc.
· A second stop command will clear the memory.
· A third stop command will eject the CD.
· One continuous press will accomplish all operations.

Learning TV and Satellite commands
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 set-top box, programmed to the TV and SAT buttons, but could also be other audio components including a Cyrus tuner or DVD player etc.
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.

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 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 learned correctly, try restarting the learning process again. Test a few keys first to ensure that your handset is compatible for 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.
