Cyrus Streamline series User Instructions

Connecting the analogue outputs to an ampliﬁer

(Streamline and Stream XP only)

The Streamline and Stream XP may be connected to the analogue inputs

of an integrated or pre-ampliﬁer, or if the Streamline is connected as the

system pre-amplifer, directly to a power ampliﬁer.

Connecting to an integrated or pre-ampliﬁer with volume control

If you are connecting the Streamline to an ampliﬁer (or preampliﬁer) with

volume control, use a suitable audio interconnect to connect the Fixed

Out sockets to a spare analogue input of the ampliﬁer.

Connecting directly to a power ampliﬁer

If you are connecting the Streamline directly to a power ampliﬁer, use a

suitable audio interconnect to connect the Pre Out sockets to the power

ampliﬁer inputs.

Connecting the digital output to an ampliﬁer

If you own an ampliﬁer or pre-ampliﬁer with digital inputs, you may prefer

to connect the Streamline to the ampliﬁer digitally.

Using a suitable digital phono interconnect, connect from the DIG OUT

connector to a free digital input of the ampliﬁer.

Connecting to an AV system

The Streamline should be connected as a digital source component of an

AV system. Follow the instructions in the previous section to connect the

digital output of the Streamline to a digital input of the AV system.

MC-Bus System

Connecting the MC-Bus sockets in an MC-Bus system provides uniﬁed

system control. An MC-Bus loop is established by connecting 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 ﬁnal component to the MC-Bus input of the ﬁrst. The diagram below

shows MC-Bus wiring of a typical system that includes a Streamline

(used as the system ampliﬁer), and a Cyrus CD player and tuner that are

connected as digital sources to the Streamline.

The MC-Bus response of a Streamline or Stream XP may be conﬁgured

through the setup menu (see page 10) to best match the other Cyrus

components you own.

If the Streamline is used as an ampliﬁer (Streamline/Stream XP only)

If the Streamline is the system ampliﬁer, its MC-Bus response can be

set to switch connected Cyrus CD players, DAB tuners, DVD players

etc. to and from Standby (when they are connected to an input named

accordingly (CD, DAB, DVD etc.).

If the Streamline is used as a source

If the Streamline is connected as a source of an ampliﬁer, its MC-

Bus response can be set so that the system ampliﬁer will switch the

Streamline to and from Standby.

External Power Supply - PSX-R (Stream XP only)

The PSX-R is a unique DC power supply which will upgrade the sonic

performance of your Stream XP. When an Stream XP / PSX-R combination

is installed, analogue and signal related sections of the circuit are

powered from this clean, stable power source while other requirements

are supplied internally. This ensures complete isolation of control circuits

and sensitive analogue sections reducing AC mains-borne noise and

power supply ripple.

To connect the PSX-R to the unit, disconnect both components from the

mains, then plug the connector on the umbilical cord of the PSX-R into

the Multi-Pole socket on the rear of the Stream XP. You will need a mains

supply for both units.

NOTE: Connection of a PSX-R is detected automatically, so no internal

adjustments are required.

Connecting Headphones (Stream XP and Streamline only)

The headphones socket is a standard 3.5mm stereo jack socket for

connection to a pair of headphones. Headphones may be permanently

connected to the unit and selected when required with the front panel

switch.

Connecting to an RS232 equipped system

Your home automation installer can obtain full installation and

programming instructions for the RS232 interface from Cyrus technical

support or from your local Cyrus distributor.
