Overview and Introduction To provide the highest possible level of audio performance, there is no video circuitry in the C-5xe. The Ayre C-5xe is a universal stereo (U2) 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 universal stereo (U2) player is easy to hook up 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 An adapter is available from Ayre should you need to connect the digital output to a device with an S/PDIF input that uses an RCA connector.

Controls and Operation The Ayre C-5xe universal stereo (U2) 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. When in standby mode a green status LED in the front panel “Standby” button is illuminated.
Play Pressing the “Play” button initiates playback of the disc. If the drawer is open, pressing “Play” will also close the drawer. Pause Pressing 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 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 ¼ second) will activate the “Previous” function. A longer button press (greater than about ¼ second) will activate the “Reverse Scan” function.
Please note that 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 continue scanning backward until the “Play” button is pressed. Press “Play” when the desired location has been reached.
forward until the “Play” button is pressed. Press “Play” when the desired location has been reached. Subsequent activations of the remote control handset’s “Forward Scan” function while the unit is scanning forward will toggle between the normal scan rate and a high-speed scan rate.
Display Brightness The front panel display of the C-5xe 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.
The information available for display varies according to the type of disc being played. Activating the “Display Mode” function with a longer button press will scroll through the available choices for each type of disc: CD and SACD Track number + elapsed track time.
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 discs.
To exit the “Random” mode, either press the “Stop” button or manually select a new track with the number keys of the remote control handset. During random play, the “Previous” and “Next” buttons function somewhat differently than normal.
Navigation of Discs The Ayre C-5xe universal stereo (U2) 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.
Typically there are several different groups on a DVD-A disc. Normally each group contains the same number of tracks each with the same musical selections, although presented in various formats. There may also be a menu group intended for navigation when using a video display.
When playing a DVD-A disc for the first time, you will want to determine which group has the highest possible sound quality. While the disc is stopped, use the navigation keys (“Next”, “Previous”, and number keys) to navigate to each group on the disc.
DVD-Video DVD-Video discs typically contain a film or musical concert that is one to two hours in length. The main program is contained in a single title , which is sub-divided into chapters for easier navigation. Additional titles may also be present, containing other features such as interviews with the directors, on-screen menus, et cetera.
Most DVD-Video discs contain multiple soundtracks. These may be in the form of various spoken languages or various audio formats (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS, or PCM). The “Audio” function, which is activated by a longer press of the remote control handset’s “Repeat” button will allow the desired soundtrack to be selected.
folders have been played. Within any given folder, the individual tracks may be accessed either with the “Next” and “Previous” functions or with the number keys of the remote control handset. To navigate to the next folder, press the “Next” button while playing the last track in the current folder.
keep in mind the following points when creating an MP3 disc: • This unit will play compressed audio files in MP3 format with a 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rate. • This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension “.mp3”. • Variable bit-rate files are playable, but the playing time may not be shown correctly.
Optimization and Customization The Ayre C-5xe 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 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 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”.
