Welcome to Ayre Your Ayre C-5xe MP offers a significant advance in the musical performance of high-fidelity equipment. The warmth and immediacy of a live performance are apparent from the first listening. The combination of superb resolution and a natural, relaxed quality will draw you into the music, time and time again.
Overview and Introduction To provide the highest possible level of audio performance, there is no video circuitry in the C-5xe MP . The Ayre C-5xe MP is a universal stereo player. It plays all currently available audio disc formats, including CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video (soundtrack only), and MP3.
Connections and Installation The Ayre C-5xe MP universal stereo player is easy to connect and use. The following guidelines will ensure that the installation goes smoothly. Location The infrared beam of the remote control will also travel through glass.
Digital Output The Ayre C-5xe MP features a balanced AES/EBU digital audio output on the rear of the unit. This output is used when connecting to a digital recording unit or other device, such as an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
AC Power The Ayre C-5xe MP may be plugged directly into an unswitched wall outlet. Although proprietary RFI (radio-frequency interference) filtering is built into the disc player, in some situations an AC power-line filter (such as those offered by Ayre) may provide additional sonic benefits.
Controls and Operation The Ayre C-5xe MP universal stereo player may be controlled using either the front panel buttons or the included remote control. Basic functions are available at both locations, while additional functions are available only at the remote control.
1 – 4x Lights when playing a track with 176.4 or 192 kHz sample rate. 2 – 2x Lights when playing a track with 88.2 or 96 kHz sample rate. 3 – 1x Lights when playing a track with 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rate. 4 – SACD Lights when playing an SACD.
Basic Functions The following basic functions are accessible via both the front panel buttons and the remote control handset. Standby/Operate The “Standby/Operate” button toggles the unit between normal operation and standby mode.
Play The “Play” button initiates playback of the disc. If the drawer is open, pressing “Play” will also close the drawer. Pause The “Pause” button will pause the disc playback. Playback may be resumed either by pressing the “Pause” button again or the “Play” button.
The “Previous” button on both the front panel and the remote handset can activate two separate functions, depending on how long the button is pressed. A quick button press (less than about ½ second) will activate the “Previous” function. A longer button press (greater than about ½ second) will activate the “Reverse Scan” function.
The behavior of the “Next” function varies depending on the type of disc being played. With a CD or SACD, pressing the “Next” button will navigate through the tracks, whether the disc is playing or stopped. Pressing the “Next” button while a DVD is playing will navigate through the tracks (DVD-A) or chapters (DVD-V).
After activating the “Reverse Scan” function with a longer button press of the remote control handset’s “Previous” button, the unit will automatically continue scanning backward until the “Play” button is pressed. Press “Play” when the desired location has been reached.
After activating the “Forward Scan” function with a longer button press of the remote control handset’s “Next” button, the unit will automatically continue scanning forward until the “Play” button is pressed. Press “Play” when the desired location has been reached.
stopped, pressing the number keys will instead navigate through the available groups (DVD-A) or titles (DVD-V). Please refer to the chapter “Navigation of Discs” for additional information. Display Brightness The front panel display of the C-5xe MP has three brightness settings, plus an “Off” position.
The “Display” button of the remote control handset can activate two separate functions, depending on how long the button is pressed. A quick button press (less than about ½ second) will activate the “Display Brightness” function. A longer button press (greater than about ½ second) will activate the “Display Mode” function.
The status of the “Repeat” mode is shown on the front panel display when the default display mode is selected. To exit the “Repeat” mode, either press the “Repeat” button to scroll through the modes or press the “Stop” button. Audio The “Audio” function is only available on DVD-V and some DVD-A discs.
Pressing “Previous” returns to the beginning of the current track (chapter for DVD-V discs). You cannot go back further than this. Pressing “Next” selects a track (chapter for DVD-V discs) at random from those remaining.
Navigation of Discs The Ayre C-5xe MP universal stereo player will play every currently available audio disc format. Each type of music disc has a structure to aid in navigation , that is, locating and playing the desired music on each disc. While there is an overall similarity, each disc format utilizes a different navigational structure.
SACD SACDs use a system of numbered tracks for navigation, just as CDs do. In addition, an SACD will provide distinct areas when multi-channel tracks are present in addition to the normal stereo tracks. Each audio format (multi-channel or stereo) is contained is its own separate area.
may have one group with a stereo mix sampled at 192 kHz with a resolution of 24 bits, while a second group may have a multi-channel (surround sound) mix sampled at 96 kHz with a resolution of 24 bits. Typically there are several different groups on a DVD-A disc.
DVD-Audio Navigation Pressing “Play” while the DVD-A disc is stopped will automatically begin play at Track 1 of Group 1. Many DVD-A discs were designed to be played while using a video display for navigation of the on-screen menu.
Using the indicator LEDs on the front panel of the C-5xe MP , note which group (or soundtrack) uses the highest sample rate and does not use compressed (Dolby Digital or DTS) audio. Make a note of the group (or soundtrack) with the highest sound quality on the case of the DVD-A disc.
The main feature is almost always found in Title 1, and this is the title that would normally be played when using the C-5xe MP . Virtually all DVD-V discs will auto-play upon insertion. However, many discs will begin playing a menu that is designed to be navigated by using a video display.
display for five seconds, and additional presses of the “Audio” button during this period will scroll through the available soundtracks. MP3 CD-ROM discs containing MP3 files are divided into folders (directories) and tracks. Folders may also contain further sub-folders.
When selecting an MP3 track for play, the front panel display will show the following information in sequence: 1.5 seconds “MP3” + folder number + track number. 3 seconds Track name (first eight characters). Remainder of track Track number + elapsed time.
• This player is compatible with multi-session discs, but will only play sessions that are closed. • This player can recognize a maximum of 250 folders or 250 tracks.
Optimization and Customization The Ayre C-5xe MP is configured at the factory to provide the best performance for a typical installation. In certain situations you may wish to change the default configuration for optimal performance in your system, using small toggle switches on the rear of the unit.
A switch on the rear panel allows the digital audio output to be turned off if its use is not required. Turning the digital output “off” when not using it will result in slightly higher sound quality through the analog outputs. A second switch sets the sample rate available at the digital output.
Digital Filter The digital filter of the Ayre C-5xe MP features two user-selectable algorithms. A selector switch is located on the rear panel. One algorithm produces greater accuracy in the time domain and is labeled “Listen”. The other algorithm produces greater accuracy in the frequency domain and is labeled “Measure”.
Command Functions The C-5xe MP may either be controlled by the remote control handset via a receiver on the front panel or by a system controller via the control port. A small toggle switch on the rear panel selects which mode is active. For normal use, set this switch to “IR Receiver”.
Numbers and Specifications Maximum Output Level (PCM) 4.10 V rms – balanced outputs 2.05 V rms – single-ended outputs Maximum Output Level (DSD) 2.
