AYRE AX-5 - Manual (Page 24)

However, in certain extremely rare situations, it is
possible that the AyreLink communication system
will require adjustments to the configuration
settings. To gain an understanding of these
circumstances, it is necessary to understand how the
AyreLink automatically selects the correct input on
the AX-5.
When any AyreLink source component is turned on,
it broadcasts that information to the other linked
components. Part of the transmitted information is
an alphabetical code that identifies the source of the
broadcast. For example, an AyreLink equipped CD
player will transmit the code “
C ”, a DVD player will
transmit the code “ D ”, a phono amplifier will
transmit the code “ P ”, a D/A converter will transmit
the code “ Q ” and so forth.
When the inputs of the AX-5 are activated by
naming them, many of the common names will have
an AyreLink alphabetical code automatically
associated with it. For example, the input name
“ CD ” is associated with the AyreLink code “ C ” by
default. In this way, when an AyreLink-equipped
CD player is turned on, the AX-5 will automatically
select the input labeled “
CD ”.
But if a system were to have more than one
AyreLink-equipped CD player (we’re not sure why
that would be the case, but it is certainly within the
realm of possibility), the AX-5 would be unable to
distinguish which CD player transmitted the
command, and would therefore be unable to
automatically select the correct input. Similarly, it
is possible that the user wishes to create a custom
name for the CD player input, for example, “
IN3 ”.
