Control Bus
The Control Bus allows any compatible Cambridge products to synchronise
when powering up the units. See the following diagrams when connecting the
CXA using the provided Control Bus cable.
Another added feature with this Control Bus is the use of the Cambridge
Connect app. You can use the Cambridge Connect app to control the CXA
via the CXN.
Cambridge Connect app (via CXN)
When using the app to turn the CXN on/off, this will also turn the CXA on/off.
The app can also be used to control the volume of the CXA. Connect the CXN
control bus out to CXA in. For more information, see the CXN manual.

BT100 controls and connections
B
A
A. Pairing button/Status LED
Button performs pairing and related functionality. Integrated LED indicates
BT100 status.
B. USB plug
Streams high quality USB audio into your CXA via the rear dedicated BT100
USB socket.
Pairing
To begin streaming high quality music from your chosen media source it will
first need to be paired with the BT100.
A. Double click the button on the BT100 to enter pairing mode, the BT100
indicates it is in the pairing state by flashing rapidly.
B. Put your Bluetooth compliant audio source into pairing mode. Please
consult your manufacturer’s user manual on how to do this.
Pairing your BT100 and source establishes an authorised audio link that can
then be used again in the future without having to go through this stage again.
After pairing you can just select the Bluetooth source input and play at any
time as long as your Bluetooth A2DP compatible source (phone/laptop etc.) is
within approx. 10m of the BT100.
Normally on your source you will need to select Bluetooth Pairing and then the
BT100 should appear as ‘Cambridge Audio BT100’ in a list of locally found
Bluetooth devices.
Select that item in the list to finish pairing.
C. On successful pairing, the BT100s LED goes off for a second or two, then
triple flashes quickly. The LED then goes off and only lights up in the future
when you are playing audio via Bluetooth.
D. To play back via a paired Bluetooth device, simply select the BT100 on
that device and start playing, then select Bluetooth in the CXA via the
front panel or remote control. The BT100 LED lights up constantly when
streaming SBC or on and flicks off every 2 seconds when streaming aptX.
Notes:
– You can pair to more than one source up to a maximum of 8 sources at any
time. Pairing to a 9th device will cause the first one to be forgotten and so
on. However as you would expect the BT100 can only play back from one
of these sources at a time.
– When you have finished playback many sources keep the Bluetooth
link active for a time unless you actively tell them to stop by deselecting
playback via the BT100 (do not unpair as this is not necessary).
This can prevent another source to be able to access the BT100.
To immediately use another source, simply deselect the BT100 for playback
on your first source device before starting up on a second.
– Some devices stream empty data all the time even when paused or stopped.
These devices will cause the BT100s LED to be on even if playback is
currently stopped or paused.
