Power

Instant on

Idle mode, when enabled, allows CXN to enter a lower power suspended 

state using the Standby/On button.  The display is turned off and many of the 

internal processes and circuits are disabled to reduce power consumption.  

However the difference between Idle and Standby is that in Idle mode, power 

remains connected to the main controller, Ethernet and Wi-Fi sections.  
In Idle mode, networking functionality remains alive in the background. This 

means that CXN can be quickly woken up out of the suspended state into an 

operational state using not only the front panel, the infra-red remote and the 

control bus, but also the iOS app running on the iPhone or iPad.  This is not 

possible when the unit is in full Standby mode.
To enable Idle mode using the Standby/On button, it must first be activated 

within the setup menus.  Go to "Settings -> Power -> Instant On" and set to 

"On".
Short presses of the Standby/On button then toggle between On and Idle 

modes.  

Note:

 after putting the unit into Idle mode, you will not be able to wake the unit 

into full On mode until 5 seconds have elapsed.
Full low power 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 CXN 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 CXN 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.

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

Playing screen.

using  the  CXN  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 CXN and the Amp/AV Receiver are 

connected using the supplied orange Conrol Bus cable as shown below.
