Plug tting instructions (UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory tted with a UK mains
plug tted with a 10 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse,
it is important that a 10 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed
because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be
cut o and an appropriate plug tted following the wiring instructions below.
The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to t a 3-pin
BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be tted as shown in this
diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
Connect them as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
The wire which is coloured GREEN/
YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’
or coloured GREEN.
If your model does not have an earth wire, then disregard this instruction.
If a standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 10 amp fuse must be tted,
or if any other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be tted, either in the
plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.
Limited warranty
Ventilation
IMPORTANT – The unit will become hot when in use. Do not stack multiple
units on top of each other. Do not place in an enclosed area such as a
bookcase or in a cabinet without sucient ventilation.
Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this
happens, switch o immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and
contact your dealer for advice.
Please ensure there is ample ventilation (at least 20cm clearance on the top,
side and rear). Do not put any objects on top of this unit. Do not situate it on a
rug or other soft surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grilles. Do
not cover the ventilation grilles with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc.
Positioning
Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
close to a source of heat. No naked ame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the unit. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and
excessive dust, cold or moisture. The unit can be used in a moderate climate.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place in a sealed
area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any space open at the back (such
as a dedicated equipment rack) is ne, however. Do not place the unit on an
unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place other equipment
on top of the unit.
Due to stray magnetic elds, turntables or CRT TVs should not be located
nearby due to possible interference.
Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week (if
used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to settle
down and the sonic properties will improve over this time.
Power sources
The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-supply to your
home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
This unit can be left in Standby mode when not in use and will draw <0.5W in
this state. To turn the unit o, switch o at the rear panel. If you do not intend
to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it from the mains socket.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of
re or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs are dangerous.
They may result in a shock or re hazard.
Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not
bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.
Cleaning
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
cleaning uids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an
aerosol at or near the unit.
Battery disposal
Batteries may contain substances harmful to the environment. Please dispose
of any discharged batteries with due consideration and in accordance with
local environmental/electronic recycling guidelines.
Loudspeakers
Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is
turned o and only use suitable cables.
Servicing
These units are not user serviceable. Never attempt to repair, disassemble or
reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock
could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem
or failure, please contact your dealer.

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to
switch the power o before connecting the speakers. Check the impedance
of your speakers. Speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms (each) are
recommended.
The coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker
terminals are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each
speaker connector or the sound can become weak and "phasey" with little
bass.
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping o approximately
10mm (3/8") or less (no more than 10mm, as this could cause a short-circuit)
of the outer insulation. Twist the wire tightly together so there are no loose
ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal knob, insert the speaker cable, tighten
the knob and secure the cable.
Note: All connections are made via loudspeaker cable, except if using an
active subwoofer which would be connected via a standard RCA phono
cable.
Loudspeaker connections
Banana Plugs (4mm standard) connected to the speaker cable are
recommended for direct insertion into the speaker terminals.
Please refer to the ‘Speaker Conguration’ section of this manual for more
information on 5.1 and 7.1 speaker setups.
Note: If necessary, it is possible to bi-amp the Front Left and Front Right
speakers resulting in more dynamic, higher-quality sound.
Surround back/height, Bi-amp and Zone 2 speaker connections can all be
wired to speakers, but only one set will be active. This can be set in the
Speaker Conguration menu.

CXR120/200
The CXR supports 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) video resolution HDMI (input
and output) connections. 4K has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution
of the 1080p HDTV format, with four times as many pixels overall.
Use a High Speed HDMI cable when connecting 4K devices.
HDMI connections 4K video resolution
The CXR120 has 7 HDMI inputs (one of which is on the front) and two HDMI
outputs. The CXR200 has 8 HDMI inputs (one of which is on the front) and
two outputs. HDMI is a fully digital audio/video system for picture and audio
in digital format for best possible picture quality.
HDMI outputs on Blu-ray, DVD players and Set-top boxes also often support
higher resolution formats including progressive scan types. Consult both your
HDMI source and TV manuals for details, it is often possible to select from
various options, you will want to select the highest quality output that both
your source and TV are compatible with.
From Blu-ray players, HDMI can also carry the latest Dolby Digital Plus and
True-HD formats as well as DTS-HD High Resolution and Master Audio.
Ensure that the HDMI output of your player has been set to ‘Bitstream’
or ‘Raw’ to pass the formats to the CXR for decoding. Also some Blu-ray
players feature settings to allow down conversion of Dolby Digital Plus etc.
to backwards compatible Dolby Digital 5.1 for older AV receivers which do
not support these formats. Ensure any such settings are disabled to allow our
CXR access to all the latest formats. For all the above reasons HDMI is the
preferred connection method for both Audio and Video.
HDMI (High-Denition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection that
can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of audio
and video and support for various types of High Denition video content and
high resolution audio make this the best connection type to use.
