CD-Control Module Joy
The CD Control module is a universal
audio interface with a serial
communication port.
Unlike the Re:system M51 and M100,
the Re:system M10 device does not
have an internal CD player. Working
together with the Revox Joy CD Player,
it is now possible to integrate a CD
Player into a Multiroom system, which
can be controlled from all side rooms.
A further feature of the CD Control
module is that it has 3 additional
analogue inputs that can be renamed
or if they are not required, they can be
hidden.

INSTALLATION
The CD-Control Module is equipped
with the latest electronics and should
be handled with care.
Before you install the card, the
M51/M10 must be switched off and
separated from the power supply, by
plugging the unit out.
M51 Installation,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The CD-Control module can be
operated in slots 1 – 6. The only
exception is Slot 7, next to the speaker
connections, as this is reserved for
the 5.1 Decoder module.
M10 Installation,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The CD-Control module can be
operated in slots 1 – 8. Slots A1 and
A2 should only be fitted with second
generation modules, like the MMM,
that have the following symbol on
them:
Loosen the two screws with the TORX
screwdriver supplied and remove the
blanking plate. A suitable TORX
screwdriver is supplied with the
Re:system M51 and M10.
Before removing the module from its
packaging, you should make sure that
you do not have any static electricity.
This could cause a damaging
discharge of voltage when you touch
the module. You should get rid of any
static charge by touching an earthed
metal object like a radiator, for
example.
Remove the module from its
packaging and feed it into its plug-in
position. The two bars inside the
M51/M10 are the mechanical guides
for you to use.
The lettering on the plug-in card must
be on top. Shortly before the plug-in
card is fully locked into position in its
slot, you will feel a mechanical
resistance, caused by the bus board
contact strip. Push the module fully in
by applying pressure in the area of the
two screw holes and fix the card in
place with both screws.
All further steps for registering the
new module are carried out
automatically the next time you switch
on.

Cable advice
Because installation requirements
vary from situation to situation, no
cables are included with the CD-
Control Communication Module. You
will find a detailed description of the
individual connections on pages 5 and
6.
RS232
Serial interface with Sub D9 socket
for controlling the Revox Joy CD
Player.
Audio connections
The CD Control module has 4
independent audio inputs:
IN 1 for Aux-1
IN 2 for Aux-2
IN 3 for Aux-3
IN 4 for Revox Joy CD Player
Devices such as external tuners, MP3
players or SAT receivers can be
connected to the analogue line inputs
IN1 to IN3.
Input IN 4 is connected with the audio
outputs on the Joy CD Player.
Note: CD Link of CD Player
When controlling the Joy CD Player
with the Communication Module over
RS232, the CD Link connection should
not be used as only one external
control device can access the Joy CD
Player.

CABLING
RS232 connection
The following cabling solutions are possible for the transfer between the CD
Control Module and the Joy CD Player:
A) For lengths up to 10m
Normal multi-core cable with complete screening.
B) For lengths up to 25m
CAT7 cable. One pair of wires for each connection RX, GND, TX.
The screening is connected to GND.
C) With Revox prefabricated cable Length 1,5 m (Part number 1.561.020.40)

Audio connection: Input IN 4
The CD Player's audio output is connected to the
IN 4
audio input (CD Control
module) using a high quality stereo cinch cable. If a 5.1 Decoder module is
available in the Re:system M51/M10, a digital audio connection can be
established in addition - see the Chapter
Configuring the digital input , Page 7.
In the case of longer cable lengths (10 - 25 m), it should be ensured that the
cinch cable has a large cross-section and a low cable capacity, as otherwise
faults and a lower audio quality may result.

SETUP CD-CONTROL
The basic settings for the CD Control
module are made in Setup.
Select the source CD from the Source
menu and press and hold the Setup key
for approx. 2 seconds. Then select the
Source softkey. The following display
appears:
Configuring the digital input
When installing the CD Control module
in a Re:system M51 or M10 with an
installed 5.1 Decoder module, you have
the option to use the digital audio signal
from the CD Player in the main room. In
this case, the digital output (Coaxial/
Optical) is connected to the digital input
on the 5.1 decoder module at the M51.
This has the advantage that in the case
of spatial sound programmes, there is
no need for any additional, sound-
reducing DA or AD conversion.
The side rooms continue to be supplied
with the analogue audio signal through
the IN4 input.

Configuring the digital input
You can now select whether and which
of the 5.1 decoder digital inputs should
receive the digital signal, using the Dig.
Input function.
Dig. Input: Not Assigned
No digital input is being used. Audio
reproduction for the main room is done
using the analogue input IN4, in the same
way as with the side rooms.
Dig. Input: Optical
Audio reproduction for the main room is
done using the 5.1 decoder module
Optical input.
Dig. Input: Coaxial (1/2)
Audio reproduction for the main room is
done using the 5.1 decoder module
Coaxial input.

The 5.1 decoder module MK3 has 2
coaxial inputs, Coaxial 1 and Coaxial 2.
Hiding analogue inputs
On the second page of the Setup (Menu
softkey), the CD Control module offers
the option of hiding the Aux-1, Aux-2
and Aux-3 analogue sources, if
required.
This option is only available in the CD
source Setup menu - [Source CD >
Setup > Source]. You can only modify
the source names in the Setup menu of
the individual Aux inputs [Source Aux 1,
2, 3 > Setup > Source].
The hidden source(s) no longer appear
in the Source menu and are no longer
available on the remote control.
By repeated pressing of the Aux-1/Aux-
2/Aux-3 softkeys, the corresponding
analogue sources can be hidden [Off] and
revealed [On].

Defining the CD switch-off
behaviour
If required, the CD Player can be
turned off completely through the
serial interface. You have 3 different
switch off [Power Off] options to
choose from.
Power Off: Normal
25 seconds after the CD has finished
playing and another source has been
selected, the CD Player goes into
standby mode, if no other room has
selected the CD source in the
meantime. In the case of a System Off,
i.e. when all rooms including the main
room are switched off, the CD Player
switches immediately to standby
mode, without any delay. In standby
mode, the CD Player needs 0.5 watts.
Power Off: System Off
After the CD has been paused or
stopped, the CD Player stays in this
state.
Only when all rooms including the
main room are switched off, does the
CD Player switch to standby mode. In
standby mode, the CD Player needs
0.5 watts.
Power Off: Never
The CD Player remains switched on
all the time, regardless of whether CD
has been selected as the source or
whether one or more rooms is in
operation.
The advantage of this is the short
response time, as the CD Player
doesn't have to be booted up when
starting to play a CD.
The disadvantage is the increased
power consumption, 5.5 watt as
compared to 0.5 watts on standby.

Analogue input IN1 IN2 IN3
Connect the three analogue inputs IN1 – IN3 using a cinch stereo cable with
your external device. The inputs are shown in the source menu as Aux-1 –
Aux-3.

The analogue inputs IN1 – IN3 are
not
suitable for connecting a record deck/
player. In this case, you should use the I/O module (article no.: 1.551.081.00),
which supports both MM and MC sound systems. Both modules, the CD
Control module and the I/O module, can be used together in the M51/ M10.
Alternatively, an external Phono pre-amp can be used that transmits its Line
signal to one of the three auxiliary inputs on the CD Control module.

The display names of the three inputs
and the CD source can be freely
defined. Simply give a name that you
can assign clearly.
Select the input from the SOURCE
menu whose name you want to edit.
CD, Aux-1, Aux-2, Aux-3
The edit function is called by pressing
the Setup key for about 2 seconds and
then selecting the softkey Source.
The following display appears in the
case of the analogue inputs:
The source CD also offers the option
of editing the name on the fist page of
its setup.
The Cursor softkeys move the [ ]
cursor left and right respectively.
The Delete softkey deletes a
character where the [ ] cursor is
positioned.
The Insert softkey inserts a character
to the left of the [ ] cursor.
The Store softkey saves the currently
displayed name and returns you to the
Main menu.
The Cancel softkey returns you to the
Main menu without saving the
changes you have made.
Restore standard names
The standard name can be restored
by deleting the self-defined name with
Delete and then the standard name is
saved again with Store. The factory-
set name is now restored.

GENERAL OPERATION
If a CD Control module is installed, the
sources Aux-1, Aux-2, Aux-3 and CD
appear in the Source menu of the
Re:system M51 and M10 devices.
In a Multiroom system, the new sources
have to be assigned top the
corresponding remote buttons in the
Remote menu, so that they can be
called up in the side room.
You will find a description of the Remote
menu in the Re:system device Startup
Guide.
The picture below shows the M51
Source menu. The display is designed in
a similar way for the various Revox
Apps. The display and control options in
the side room through the M217/M218
display/keypad combination are
described in a later chapter on Page 14.
The corresponding source is called up
by pressing the Aux-1, Aux-2 Aux-3 or
CD softkeys.
CD Menu
After the CD source has been selected,
the Reading display appears, assuming
that the CD Player was not already
switched on. The CD Player reads the
CD in during this phase.
The read-in content of the CD is now
displayed in the List view. In the case of
CDs without CD text, the display
appears as a numbered track list.
If the CD has CD text, the individual
track names are listed.

C) Remote Control
The CD Player can be remotely
controlled through the CD Control
module with the M208 System remote
control or the RC M100.
In the case of the M208, the M208
Project Manager offers the device
control "Revox Joy CD Player" in the
[Revox] database, which makes the
following CD play control commands
available via infrared:
•Switch on/off
•Play
•Pause
•Stop
•Track (forwards/ back)
•Search
These commands can also be
executed with an RC M100. The
function buttons on the optional RC
M100 Remote control always
reference the previously selected
source button. Therefore, the DVD
source must be selected for the CD
player before operating the function
buttons.
All Revox system IR receivers transfer
these commands to the CD Control
module. There, they are converted to
RS232 commands.
