Front panel controls
1. USB
Use to connect a USB storage device or another portable device containing music
files. 1A maximum current consumption.
Note: This USB port is not intended for connection to Apple mobile devices, no
functionality, charging or otherwise is supported.
2. Standby/On
Switches the unit on or off. When powering up, LED will flash approximately once
a second as the unit boots up, the display will initially be blank before a splash
screen appears.
Note that the full startup sequence can take approximately 30 seconds to complete.
Instant On
To enable Instant On, it must first be activated within the setup menus. Go to
"Settings -> Power-> Instant On" and set to "On".
Instant On, when enabled, allows 851N to enter a lower power suspended state
using the Standby/On button. The display is turned off and many of the internal
processes are disabled to reduce power consumption. However the difference
between Instant On and Standby is that in Instant On, power remains connected to
the main controller, Ethernet and Wi-Fi sections.
In Instant On, networking functionality remains alive in the background. This means
that 851N can be quickly woken up out of the suspended state into an operational
state using not only the front panel, the infra-red remote and the control bus, but
also the Stream Magic App running on iOS or Android devices. This is not possible
when the unit is in full Standby mode.
Short presses of the Standby/On button then toggle the 851N between On and
Instant On.
Note: after putting the unit into Instant On mode, you will not be able to wake the
unit into full On mode until 5 seconds have elapsed.
Full standby can still be activated by keeping the Standby/On button pressed for
more than two seconds. A subsequent press of Standby/On turns the unit fully on,
but remember that this can’t be done over the network (i.e. from the iOS app) and
that it takes longer to reach the full operational state.

5. Filter
Press to toggle through three alternative digital filter characteristics: Linear Phase,
Minimum Phase or Steep. Alternative digital filters can offer subtly different sound
quality characteristics. The currently selected filter is displayed by the indicators
just above the button.
Phase
Press and hold the Filter/Phase select button for approximately two seconds to
select normal or inverted phase output. When the LED lights up, the phase is
inverted by the 851N.
If you suspect that your source material or amplifier, etc., is inverting the phase
of the musical signal, you can use this function to re-invert the audio and regain
absolute positive phase.
6. Infrared sensor
Receive IR commands from the supplied remote control. A clear unobstructed line
of sight between the remote control and the sensor is required.

12. Navigation/Select (rotary dial)
Rotate to scroll and navigate around the menus. Pressing the rotary dial in performs
the 'Select' function to accept the item/function shown on the display.
Fast Scroll feature
When scrolling through lists of tracks or stations, normally rotating the rotary
encoder or press of the remote control navigator button steps to the next item in
the list. For long lists this can become tiresome.
The Fast Scroll feature, which is always enabled, detects how fast the front panel
rotary encoder is being rotated or how long the remote control navigator buttons
have been pressed. The faster the encoder rotation or the longer the button press,
the bigger the jump up or down the list with each step.
If navigating using the front panel rotary encoder, reducing the speed of rotation
then decreases the step size again.
If navigating using the remote control, you need to release the button to stop the
scroll and press-and-hold the button again to begin the scroll speed ramp-up, or
single-press the button to step one item in the list at a time.
13. Return
