To our North American customers, please be sure to mail your warranty registration card and photocopy of your original sales receipt within 30 days in order to extend the warranty to five years. Connections and Connections and Installation The Ayre CX-7eMP is easy to connect and use. The following guidelines will ensure that the installation goes smoothly. Location The infrared beam of the remote control will also travel through glass. A good location for your CD player is at an easily accessible height in an open-backed cabinet or on a shelf. The receiver for the infrared remote control is mounted behind the display lens on the front panel. A direct line of sight from the listening position will ensure the maximum range. However, the infrared beam will also reflect off of most wall surfaces with a reduced range. Analog Outputs It is not normally The Ayre CX-7eMP offers both balanced and recommended to use both sets of single-ended outputs. Balanced connections are analog outputs made via three-pin XLR connectors, while simultaneously. single-ended connections are made via RCA connectors. When you have a choice, a balanced connection will offer slightly higher sound quality than a single-ended connection. Digital Filter The digital filter of the Ayre CX-7eMP features two user-selectable algorithms. A selector switch is located on the rear panel. One algorithm produces greater accuracy in the time domain and is labeled “Listen”. The other algorithm produces greater accuracy in the frequency domain and is labeled “Measure”. It is recommended that the selector switch be set to the “Listen” position. However some listeners may prefer the additional high-frequency energy provided by the “Measure” position. Digital Output The Ayre CX-7eMP features a balanced AES/EBU digital audio output on the rear of the unit. This may be used when connecting to a digital recording unit or other device, such as an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A switch on the rear panel allows the digital audio output to be turned off when its use is not required. An adapter is available from Ayre should you need to connect the digital output to an S/PDIF input that uses an RCA connector. AC Power The CX-7eMP may be plugged directly into an unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into the CD player, in some situations an AC power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide additional sonic benefits. Controls and Controls and Operation The Ayre CX-7eMP CD player may be controlled using either the front panel buttons or the included remote control handset. Basic functions are available at both locations, while additional functions are available only at the remote control handset. Remote Control The supplied remote control handset can operate both the CX-7eMP CD player as well as an Ayre preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The controls to operate the CD player are grouped towards the top of the handset, while those for the preamplifier or integrated amplifier are grouped towards the bottom. The remote control handset uses 2 x AAA batteries, which must be installed before use. Access to the battery compartment is achieved by sliding the cover on the rear of the unit. Standby/Operate The “Standby/Operate” button toggles the unit between normal operation and standby mode. When in standby mode a green status LED is illuminated, and the critical internal circuitry remains powered. This ensures optimal sound quality with a minimum of warm-up time. If a disc is in the player when it is turned on, it will read the disc’s Table of Contents (ToC) and display the total disc time and total number of tracks Pressing either the “Open/Close” or the “Play” buttons will also bring the unit out of standby mode. Open/Close The “Open/Close” button opens and closes the CD drawer. Standby/Operate The “Standby/Operate” button toggles the unit between normal operation and standby mode.
