Stream Magic remote

Stream Magic remote is a free iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad application that allows 

wireless control of the 851N or other Stream Magic powered Cambridge Audio 

products.
The application allows full control of the 851N including Stream Magic Radio, 

Streaming Services, UPnP  Media, Presets, Queuing and more.
It also supports display of Album artwork and Station logos (where available).
To use Stream Magic Remote you will need a Wi-Fi network or Access point for the 

application to connect to , the connection from your router to the 851N can then 

be either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Search for Stream Magic Remote on the Apple App Store or browse 

www.stream-

magic.com

 for further details on this and other apps and features as they become 

available.
The 851N allows the user to control playback volume via the Stream Magic mobile 

application by either:
• Using the digital pre-amp inside the 851N, or 
•  Using a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier or AV Receiver connected to the 851N 

via the Control Bus.

Digital pre-amp

When the digital pre-amp mode is enabled on the 851N, the mobile application 

allows direct manipulation of playback volume via a slider located on the Now 

Playing screen.

Connected Azur amplifier/AV receiver

Users can enable Azur Mode in the Settings screen on the application when using 

the 851N in conjunction with a Cambridge Audio Azur amplifier/AV Receiver. Users 

should then  select whether they  are using  a  Cambridge  Audio  Azur amplifier  or 

an AV Receiver. If the 851N and the Amp/AV Receiver are connected using the 

supplied orange Conrol Bus cable as shown below. 
Volume control is now possible via the 'Now Playing' screen volume-up and volume 

down buttons.

Instant on

Instant On, when enabled, allows 851N to enter a lower power suspended sleep 

state using the Standby/On button.
To activate Instant On, go to "Settings -> Power-> Instant On" and set to "On".
In this mode, the 851N will consume slightly more power than Standby. However, 

networking functionality remains alive in the background. This means
that 851N can be almost instantly woken up using not only the front panel, the 

infra-red remote and the control bus, but also the Stream Magic App running on 

iOS or Android devices.
This is not possible when the unit is in full Standby mode, regardless of whether 

Instant On is enabled or not.
A short press of the Standby/On button will toggle the 851N between On and the 

low power sleep mode.

Note: 

After putting the unit into sleep mode, you will not be able to wake the 851N 

until 5 seconds have elapsed.
Full standby can still be activated by keeping the Standby/On button pressed for 

more than two seconds. A subsequent press of Standby/On turns the unit fully on, 

but remember that this can’t be done over the network (i.e. from the iOS app) and 

that it takes longer to reach the full operational state.

Automatic power down

The 851N will switch itself off after 15 minutes if it is not playing anything and 

there has been no user interaction with it during this time. As a default this is set 

to 15 minutes, but you can increase or decrease this time, or turn this feature off 

altogether if desired. 
The Auto Power Down setting can be found in Settings > Power > Automatic Power-

down. There, using the rotary dial you can adjust APD from OFF to 1hr, in 5 minute 

increments.  Press the rotary dial to accept the new APD setting.

Edit digital input names

This allows you to customise the names associated with each digital input so that 

they correspond to the actual device names connected to them.
There are six digital inputs:
• USB Audio
• D1 – D5
Each input is named as default by its input type. To rename an input, go to "Settings 

-> Edit Digital Input Names", highlight the desired input and select it to rename.  

The screen changes to a list of letters, with the current name displayed at the top.  

To delete existing letters press the "Stop/Delete" button at the bottom left of the 

display.  Navigate through the letters and select each letter in turn to rename the 

input.  When finished, select the "Return" symbol at the end of the letter list (you 

can press the "Home" button on the right hand side of the display to jump to it).  

The name is then saved and the display returns to the Edit Digital Input Names 

menu screen.

Factory reset

Puts all the settings back to their defaults as they were when they left the factory. 
The 851N will ask you if you are sure you want to proceed before performing a 

reset.

Note:

 If you perform a factory reset, you will lose any saved WEP/WPA keys for your 

wireless network connection.
