Frequently Asked Questions - CD7 Cyrus Audio

How do I load and play a CD on the Cyrus CD7?

Press the STOP/OPEN key to open the CD tray, place the CD with the label side upward, then press STOP/OPEN again. The player will display 'Reading' while checking the disc. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start playback from track 1.

How can I program a specific sequence of tracks?

Load a disc, press MEMORY STORE once for Program mode or twice for Exclude mode. Enter up to 30 tracks using the remote numeric keypad. Press MEMORY STORE again to confirm, then press Play. Press STOP an extra time to clear the memory.

What does the Repeat function do?

The REPEAT key replays the entire disc or your programmed tracks. When Repeat is activated, its symbol appears on the display. Press the key a second time to clear Repeat.

Can I adjust the absolute phase from the remote?

Yes, press the PHASE key on the remote to toggle between 'Phase Normal' and 'Phase Invert'. This subtly affects the audio character and is best set from your listening position.

How do I switch off the display to improve sound quality?

Press the DISPLAY key on the remote to switch off the front panel display. This reduces digital traffic and power supply load, improving overall sound quality. Press the key again to restore the display.

What should I do if the disc spins but there is no sound?

Check all connections from the CD7 to the amplifier or external D/A converter. Ensure the correct input is selected and volume is turned up. Also verify Pause is not active by looking for the pause symbol on the display.

Why does the display show 'Disc error'?

The disc cannot be read, likely because it is dirty or defective. Try cleaning the disc with a soft cloth or try a different disc. If the problem persists, consult your dealer.

How do I clean the Cyrus CD7?

Unplug the player from the mains before cleaning. Use a damp cloth only; never use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.

What should I do if the remote control stops working?

Replace the batteries in the remote handset with new AA (LR6) batteries, paying attention to polarity. If the issue continues, check that no objects are blocking the remote eye on the CD7.

Can I connect the CD7 to a Cyrus PSX-R power supply?

Yes, the CD7 has a dedicated PSX-R connection on the rear panel. Connect the umbilical cable from the PSX-R securely until it latches. Both units require their own mains connections.

INSTALLATION (Refer to Fig.1)

Key to the rear panel drawing:

1.	Audio Outputs	4.	PSX-R Connection
2.	Digital Output	5.	Power Inlet
3.	MC-Bus System

Connecting to the System Amplifier

Connect a suitable stereo RCA phono interconnect to the audio output sockets ① of the CD7 and the corresponding input of the amplifier or receiver. Amplifier inputs suitable for this purpose are CD or AUX inputs.

Dual outputs are provided for convenient connection to multiroom units or for direct connection to tape/disc recorders etc.

DO NOT connect the CD7 to the PHONO input of the amplifier, as this could damage your amplifier or speakers.

Connecting an External D/A Converter

The CD7 provides a digital output to drive an external D/A converter. Using a digital interconnect, connect the socket marked DIGITAL OUT ② to the input of a suitable D/A converter and connect the converter's audio outputs to a suitable input of the amplifier.

Refer to the D/A converter handbook for guidance.

Connecting a Cyrus PSX-R

The Cyrus PSX-R is a high quality regulated power supply, the use of which will elevate your CD7 into a true world-class state-of-the-art product.

The connector fitted to the umbilical cable from the PSX-R must be securely connected to the PSX-R socket ④ on the rear of the CD7. When correctly fitted, the connector will latch into the socket.

Note: The PSX-R power supply and the CD7 will both require connection to the mains supply.

Mc-Bus System Connection (Optional)

By using the MC-BUS connection on your CD7, a highly functional integrated system with full remote control may be set up. This feature is usable if you own a Cyrus amplifier. Refer to the relevant product handbook for MC-BUS wiring instructions.

Additional Remote Control Functions

Direct Access Numeric Keypad

Press any numeric key 29 on the handset. The track number will appear on the display and the CD7 will scan and play the selected track. If the disc has more than ten tracks the CD7 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 ³⁴ on the handset to switch the display of the CD7 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 CD7.

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 ³⁵ . The display text area will show the message 'Phase Normal' or 'Phase Invert'.

The performance of the CD7 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 ③6 features selection of two time display modes.

Mode 1 Elapsed time display ④. The time display will read the time elapsed from the beginning of the current track.

Mode 2 Remaining time display ④ with minus sign. The time display reads time remaining to the end of the disc or program if stored.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If your CD7 is not operating properly, disconnect the power and check all connections using the notes in this handbook. If problems persist, the checklist below may help.

If you are in any doubt, consult your dealer.

Disc Spinning with no sound

Switch off the power to the audio system and check that connections have been correctly made from the CD7 to the amplifier.

If used with another D/A converter, check the connection from the 'DIGITAL OUT' socket of the CD7 to the D/A converter. Check also that power is applied to the D/A converter and amplifier and that the input selection and volume control of these units is correctly set.

Pause may have been set. Check for the pause symbol on the display. Press the PLAY/PAUSE key again on the front panel or handset to cancel pause.

Skipping tracks or distorted sound

The disc may be dirty or badly scratched. Try playing another disc. If the other disc plays ok, try cleaning the 1^st disc.

Indication 'Disc error' on the display

The disc will not read. It may be dirty or defective.

No display

The display may have been switched off at the handset. Press the display key again to restore the display and backlight.

No Remote Operation

The handset batteries may need to be replaced:

Remove the battery compartment cover located underneath the unit. Remove the batteries and replace with new ones carefully noting the orientation marked in the bottom of the battery case.

The batteries in the unit should only be replaced with new batteries type AA (I.E.C. LR6).

Laser Product

This label on the rear panel tells you that the unit contains a Laser component. Opening this unit will expose the user to radiation from the laser beam.
