All front panel controls of the
Cyrus dAD3
except program memory review
feature on the remote handset. The remote control handset also provides
access to some additional features of the
Cyrus dAD3
.
Direct Access Numeric Keypad
Press any numeric key
c
on the handset. The track number will appear
on the display and the
Cyrus dAD3
will scan and play the selected track.
If the disc has more than ten tracks the
Cyrus dAD3
will briefly wait for
entry of a second digit when appropriate.
When a program is stored, the keypad will enable access only to tracks
included in the program memory.
Display Control
Press the DISPLAY key
1$
on the handset to switch the display of the
Cyrus dAD3
off. Pressing this key again restores the display to its normal
mode. Switching the display off stops the digital traffic required to update
it and reduces the load on the power supply. This improves the overall
quality of the sound without adversely affecting the normal functions of
your
Cyrus dAD3.
Phase Control
Absolute phase is determined by the audio system and the recording
process. Changes in absolute phase are subtle and are best established
from the listening position. The absolute phase of the audio signal can be
changed from the remote control using the PHASE key
h
. The phase
symbol shows on the display when absolute phase is inverted. When a
program is stored phase settings are memorised. They can be changed
for each program entry.
The performance of the
Cyrus dAD3
is unaffected whether the signal is in
normal or phase inverted mode.
Note
: When an external D/A converter is used, absolute phase correction
is
not
applied to the digital output. Phase correction must then be
selected at the D/A converter.
Time Display Selection
The TIME key
g
features selection of two time display modes.
Mode 1
Elapsed time
display with arrow pointing left. The time display
will read the time elapsed from the beginning of the current
track.
Mode 2
Remaining time
display with arrow pointing right. The time
display reads time remaining to the end of the disc or program
if stored.
The
Cyrus
Module
The ‘Q’ module is a high performance D/A converter which can be fitted
inside the
Cyrus dAD3
player by your authorised
Cyrus
dealer.
The ‘Q’ module provides the sonic benefits of a superb external D/A
converter unit without the degradation involved when an external DAC is
connected to the player via a cable.
When the module is fitted the ‘Q’ symbol will show in the display window
(
see display view, on fold out page
).
