While the display of the
CX-8 is rated for years of
use, we recommend that
the display be allowed
turn off after a time-out
period of your preference
to reduce the amount of
burn-in the display may
experience, which can
appear as “ghost” images
on the display.
Ethernet Playback
The CX-8 can also be used to stream music from other
network devices or online through music streaming
services with its optional Ethernet module. When the
Ethernet input is selected, the display will show
“Network” (or user selected name) and additional
information based on available data from the network
service being used. This can include metadata that shows
artist and track data for the currently playing song. If the
display shows “No Signal”, then the Ethernet is not
currently receiving any information to play.
For information on how to connect and use the CX-8 as
a network streaming device, please see the Streaming and
Networking section on page 31.
Display
By default, the CX-8 will turn its display off
automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity, and the status
LED will be blue to indicate that the CX-8 is still in
Active mode. By turning off the display, the amount of
digital activity in the CX-8 is minimized, ensuring that
optimal sound quality is preserved while also extending
the lifetime of the display. This feature can be adjusted
for different lengths of time before the display is turned
off or disabled entirely through the setup options of the
CX-8. For details on how to do this, please see the Setup
and Customization section on page 22.
