Although there are six total inputs on the Ayre
KX-5, only the activated (named) inputs will be
listed among the available sources. This greatly
simplifies operation of the unit.
Tape Outputs/Basic Setup Mode
The left-hand button on the KX-5 activates two
functions—the tape outputs and the basic input
setup mode.
Tape Outputs
The tape outputs may be controlled either by the
left-hand button on the front panel, or from the
remote handset. Pressing the button activates the
tape outputs, and pressing it a second time will turn
them off. When the tape outputs are activated, the
red LED in the front-panel switch is illuminated.
Turn the tape outputs off unless they are
currently being used. This will completely
disconnect the auxiliary components from the
KX-5 (including the ground connection),
eliminating the possibility of undesired ground
loops or other interference.
Basic Setup Mode
While the KX-5 is in system-sleep mode (green
LED illuminated), pressing and holding the
left-hand front-panel button for three seconds will
enter the unit into the basic setup (input naming
and activation) mode. Additional basic setup
information is available in the chapter “Setup and
