MC-bUS System

Connecing  the  MC-BUS  sockets 

b

  in  an  MC-bus  system 

provides uniied system control. 

External Power Supply - PSX-R 

The 

PSX-R

 is a unique dC power supply which will upgrade 

the sonic performance of your ampliier. When an ampliier 

PSX-R

 combinaion is installed, analogue and signal related 

secions  of  the  ampliier  are  powered  from  this  clean, 

stable power source while other requirements are supplied 

internally. This ensures complete isolaion of control circuits 

and  sensiive  analogue  secions  reducing  AC  mains-borne 

noise and power supply ripple. 

To  connect  the 

PSX-R

  to  the  ampliier,  disconnect  both 

components  from  the  mains,  then  plug  the  connector  on 

the umbilical cord of the 

PSX-R

 into the Muli-Pole socket 

on the rear of the ampliier. You will need a mains supply 

for both units.
NOTE: Connecion of a 

PSX-R

 is detected automaically by 

the ampliier, so no internal adjustments are required.

An 

MC-bus 

loop 

is 

established  by  connecing 

single phono cables from the 

MC-BUS output of one unit to 

the MC-BUS input of another 

in  a  daisy-chain.  Complete 
the  loop  by  returning  the 

MC-BUS  output  of  the  inal 

component  to  the  MC-bus 

input of the irst.

With  MC-BUS  connecion  established  you  can  control  the 

power funcion of the enire system from the front panel 

or remote control. Selecing ‘CD’ from the front panel will 

switch  on  the  ampliier,  the  Cyrus  power  ampliier  and  a 

Cyrus CD player. When the ampliier is set to Standby, the 

enire system will also switch of.

When a Cyrus surround Processor is included in the MC-bus 

loop, seing of the volume calibraion level will take place 

automaically when the ‘Cyrus AV’ input is selected. Refer 

to  the  handbook  for  the  Surround  Processor  for  further 

details.
