Stream Magic remote
Stream Magic remote is a free iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad application that allows
wireless control of the 851N or other Stream Magic powered Cambridge Audio
products.
The application allows full control of the 851N including Stream Magic Radio,
Streaming Services, UPnP Media, Presets, Queuing and more.
It also supports display of Album artwork and Station logos (where available).
To use Stream Magic Remote you will need a Wi-Fi network or Access point for the
application to connect to , the connection from your router to the 851N can then
be either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Search for Stream Magic Remote on the Apple App Store or browse
www.stream-
magic.com
for further details on this and other apps and features as they become
available.
The 851N allows the user to control playback volume via the Stream Magic mobile
application by either:
• Using the digital pre-amp inside the 851N, or
• Using a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier or AV Receiver connected to the 851N
via the Control Bus.
Digital pre-amp
When the digital pre-amp mode is enabled on the 851N, the mobile application
allows direct manipulation of playback volume via a slider located on the Now
Playing screen.
Connected Azur amplifier/AV receiver
Users can enable Azur Mode in the Settings screen on the application when using
the 851N in conjunction with a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier/AV Receiver. Users
should then select whether they are using a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier or
an AV Receiver. If the 851N and the Amp/AV Receiver are connected using the
supplied orange Conrol Bus cable as shown below.
Volume control is now possible via the 'Now Playing' screen volume-up and volume
down buttons.
Instant on
Instant On, when enabled, allows 851N to enter a lower power suspended sleep
state using the Standby/On button.
To activate Instant On, go to "Settings -> Power-> Instant On" and set to "On".
In this mode, the 851N will consume slightly more power than Standby. However,
networking functionality remains alive in the background. This means
that 851N can be almost instantly woken up 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, regardless of whether
Instant On is enabled or not.
A short press of the Standby/On button will toggle the 851N between On and the
low power sleep mode.
Note:
After putting the unit into sleep mode, you will not be able to wake the 851N
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.
Automatic power down
The 851N will switch itself off after 15 minutes if it is not playing anything and
there has been no user interaction with it during this time. As a default this is set
to 15 minutes, but you can increase or decrease this time, or turn this feature off
altogether if desired.
The Auto Power Down setting can be found in Settings > Power > Automatic Power-
down. There, using the rotary dial you can adjust APD from OFF to 1hr, in 5 minute
increments. Press the rotary dial to accept the new APD setting.
Edit digital input names
This allows you to customise the names associated with each digital input so that
they correspond to the actual device names connected to them.
There are six digital inputs:
• USB Audio
• D1 – D5
Each input is named as default by its input type. To rename an input, go to "Settings
-> Edit Digital Input Names", highlight the desired input and select it to rename.
The screen changes to a list of letters, with the current name displayed at the top.
To delete existing letters press the "Stop/Delete" button at the bottom left of the
display. Navigate through the letters and select each letter in turn to rename the
input. When finished, select the "Return" symbol at the end of the letter list (you
can press the "Home" button on the right hand side of the display to jump to it).
The name is then saved and the display returns to the Edit Digital Input Names
menu screen.
Factory reset
Puts all the settings back to their defaults as they were when they left the factory.
The 851N will ask you if you are sure you want to proceed before performing a
reset.
Note:
If you perform a factory reset, you will lose any saved WEP/WPA keys for your
wireless network connection.
