Enter the sequence of tracks to be stored (or skipped) with the remote

control numeric keypad. A maximum of 30 tracks may be stored in the

OPERATION WITH THE AVRS7 REMOTE CONTROL

The 

CDXt

 is supplied with the 

Cyrus AVRS7

 remote control which will control

Cyrus

 amplifiers, tuners and surround sound decoders in addition to the

CDXt

.

System select keys

The 

AVRS7

 will send commands to most products within the 

Cyrus

 range.

 

Commands may be sent to different system components by selecting the

appropriate system select key on the handset. These keys are marked CD,
TU, AV, AV-S and SETUP. The CD, TU, AV, AV-S keys flash to show which

type of product is under control. Commands to a surround decoder from the

SETUP system will flash the AV key.

 

Pressing CD will send commands to the 

CDXt

. This key will also switch

on the 

CDXt

 and select the CD input of a stereo amplifier.

 

Pressing TU will send commands to FM Tuners. This key will also
switch on an FM Tuner and select the TU input of a stereo amplifier.

 

Pressing AV will send commands to a DVD player. This key will also

switch on a DVD player and select the AV input of a stereo amplifier.

A stereo amplifier will respond to the volume, balance, mute and input keys
when any of the above systems are selected.
NOTE - The AV-S and SETUP keys are not used to control a stereo system.

Multi-channel Surround Sound Systems

 

The AV-S and SETUP keys of the 

AVRS7

 will control a 

Cyrus

 surround

decoder. If you own a 

Cyrus 

decoder which was not originally supplied with

an 

AVRS7

 remote control, a full copy of the 

AVRS7

 instruction sheet is

available on the Cyrus website 

www.cyrusaudio.com

.

CDXt Additional Remote Control Functions

The following additional functions of the 

CDXt

 are available via the 

AVRS7

remote control -

Direct Access Numeric Keypad

Press any numeric key on the handset. The track number will appear on the

display and the 

CDXt

 will scan and play the selected track. If the disc has

more than ten tracks the 

CDXt

 will briefly wait for entry of a second digit when

appropriate.
When a program is stored, the keypad will enable access only to tracks
included in the program memory.

Display Control

Press the DISPLAY OFF key on the handset to switch the display of the 

CDXt

off. Pressing this key again restores the display to its normal mode. Switching

the display off stops the digital traffic required to update it and reduces the

load on the power supply. This improves the overall quality of the sound

without adversely affecting the normal functions of your 

CDXt.

Phase Control

Absolute phase is determined by the audio system and the recording process.

Changes in absolute phase are subtle and are best established from the
listening position. The absolute phase of the audio signal can be changed

from the remote control using the PHASE INVERT key. The display text area

will show the message ‘Phase Normal’ or ‘Phase Invert’.
The performance of the 

CDXt

 is unaffected whether the signal is in normal or

phase inverted mode.

Note

: When an external D/A converter is used, absolute phase correction is

not

 applied to the digital output. Phase correction must then be selected at the

D/A converter.

Time Display Selection

The DISPLAY MODE key features selection of two time display modes.
Mode 1

Elapsed time 

display 

2)

. The time display will read the time

elapsed from the beginning of the current track.

Mode 2

Remaining time 

display 

2!

 with minus sign. The time display reads

time remaining to the end of the disc.

Full Remote Command Listing

 

A full listing of the command set available from the 

AVRS7

 is listed in the

table overleaf.
