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.
3
Analog Outputs
It is not normally
recommended to use both sets of
analog outputs
simultaneously.
The Ayre CX-7eMP offers both balanced and
single-ended outputs. Balanced connections are
made via three-pin XLR connectors, while
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
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
An open drawer may also be closed with either
the “Standby” or “Play” buttons.
7
Play
If the drawer is open, pressing
“Play” will close the drawer.
The “Play” button initiates playback of the disc. The
table of contents (ToC) is read, and playback begins
at the first track.
If the disc is paused, pressing “Play” will un-pause
the disc
Pause
The “Pause” button will temporarily halt the disc.
Playback may be resumed either by pressing either
the “Pause” button again or the “Play” button.
The track number in the display will flash to show
that the pause mode has been engaged.
Stop
The “Stop” button will stop disc playback.
Previous
The “Previous” button will back to the start of the
current track. Additional presses will move to
previous tracks.
The “Previous” button on the front panel can
activate two separate functions, depending on
how long the button is pressed. A quick button
press (less than about ½ second) will activate the
“Previous” function. A longer button press will
activate the “Reverse Scan” function.
