Connecng to the System Amplier
• Connect a suitable stereo RCA phono interconnect
between the OUT1 or OUT2 sockets and the
corresponding input of the amplier or receiver.
Amplier inputs suitable for this purpose are line inputs.
Dual outputs are provided for convenient connecon
to mulroom units or for direct connecon to tape/disc
recorders etc.
DO NOT connect the CDi-XR to the PHONO input of the
amplier, as this could damage your amplier or speakers.
Connecng a Digital amplier or D/A converter
The CDi-XR provides two digital outputs to connect to a
digital amplier or D/A converter.
Connecng with a cable
• Connect a single, digital interconnect between the
DIGITAL OUTPUT coaxial socket and a digital input of an
amplier or D/A converter.
Connecng with opcal interconnect
• Connect a Toslink opcal interconnect between the
DIGITAL OUTPUT opcal port and an opcal input of an
amplier or D/A converter.
The cable connecon is recommended for the best quality
where this connecon is available.
NOTE: The digital output of the CDi-XR is only compable
with digital inputs. It is not suitable for connecon to an
analogue amplier.
External Power Supply - PSU-XR
The PSU-XR is a unique DC power supply that will upgrade
the sonic performance of compable products in the Cyrus
range.
• To connect a PSU-XR, disconnect both components from
the mains.
• Plug the mul-pin interconnect from the PSU-XR into
the PSU-XR socket on the back panel.
CAUTION: Use only the interconnect supplied with the PSU-
XR. Other interconnects may damage the PSU-XR and the
amplier.
• Connect a mains supply to both units.
NOTE: Connecon of a PSU-XR is detected automacally, so
no internal adjustments are required.
How it works
The PSU-XR contains ve separate power supplies. When
a PSU-XR is connected to a Cyrus product, the power from
the PSU-XR is applied to specic parts of the connected
product.
The twin main power supply of the versale PSU-XR can
be congured to increase the power reserve available for
power amplicaon and servo circuitry or provide ultra-
smooth, low noise power for sensive circuits such as
analogue preampliers.
Three addional regulated power supplies can be
simultaneously applied to other sensive preamplier or
control circuits as required.
Connecon of a PSU-XR will also bring a secondary benet
by signicantly reducing the load placed on internal
power supplies and therefore reducing any power supply
related noise artefacts that may appear within the internal
circuitry.
MC-BUS System Connecon (Oponal)
By using the MC-BUS connecon, a highly funconal
integrated system with full remote control may be set up.
This feature is usable if you own a Cyrus amplier. Refer
to the relevant product handbook for MC-BUS wiring
instrucons.
Connecng to the AC Mains Supply
• Connect the socket on the AC Power cable to the AC
Power inlet the back panel.
• Now connect the cable to a suitable AC power point.
There is no mains power switch. To switch o the mains
supply remove the plug from the wall outlet. For this
reason, ensure that the plug is easily accessible when
installing the unit.
To avoid possible damage to your audio system, it
is essenal to disconnect all system components
from the mains supply before connecng or
disconnecng audio interconnects.
Important – read before making any connecons

Learning TV and Satellite commands
In addion to controlling Cyrus components, the remote
control can learn the commands from two other remote
control handsets. These will normally be a TV and a
Satellite or terrestrial TV set-top box, programmed to
the TV and SAT buons, but could also be other audio
components including a Cyrus tuner or DVD player etc.
All keys may be programmed with the excepon of the
groups marked CONTROL and SOURCE and the SETUP key.
Preparaon for learning
Check the following points before aempng to learn any
commands -
• Check that both remote controls have fresh baeries.
• Choose a locaon on a tabletop that is not brightly lit.
Subdued light is beer, away from bright natural or
indoor lighng.
• Check that you have enough me to spare to complete
the learning process for all the keys you want to use.
Learning commands
In this example, the Cyrus remote control will be learning
commands from a ‘reference’ Satellite receiver remote
control.
1. Set the two remote controls up facing each other,
spaced by about 5cm.

The mode key will change to white. Aer about three
seconds, the mode key will light red again. This indicates
that the remote control is ready to learn codes.
4. Release the SETUP key.
The remote control is now waing to learn commands. The
keypad will light connually and the mode key will light
pale red.
5. On the reference remote control, press and hold the
rst key you want to learn (for example, volume up)
unl the mode key ashes red.
This indicates that the command has been received.
6. Release the key on the reference remote control.
7. Press a key on the Cyrus remote control (volume up
in this example) to select where you want to save that
command.
The mode key will stop ashing. This indicates that the
command has been saved successfully.
If the learning process was successful, the remote control
will be ready to learn the next command.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each command you want to
learn.
When you have completed learning all commands -
• Press the SETUP key.
The mode key will change to white. Aer a few seconds the

Checking programmed commands
• Select the mode that you just programmed and check
that the commands were learned successfully.
NOTE: The TV or SAT mode key should ash red when
sending a command. If the mode key is not ashing, then
the command has not learned correctly.
• Make a note of any commands that have not
programmed correctly and repeat the learning process
to add these in.
NOTE: When you start the learning process it does not
erase any programmed keys so you can re-program
individual keys if required.
Problems with learning
If none of the commands have learned correctly, try re-
starng the learning process again. Test a few keys rst
to ensure that your handset is compable for learning. If
the test works then connue to program the rest of the
commands you need.
If you sll have problems, check carefully that the mode
light is ashing correctly as you send a command to learn.
If not, it may be that the baeries need replacement in
the reference handset or that the spacing between the
handsets is not ideal. Try adjusng the spacing between
the handsets and repeang the learning process.
If you connue to have problems, it may be that your
handset is incompable with the learning process. This
could happen with an older design of handset or one that
has an unusual code-set.
Sending TV or SAT commands
Once you have programmed all the keys with the
commands you want, you can use the remote control to
send commands to your TV or Satellite receiver etc.
• Press the TV or SAT key to select the mode you want.
• Press the command key.
The mode key will ash red when sending a programmed
command.
