Front panel controls

1. USB

Use to connect a USB storage device or another portable device containing music

files. 1A maximum current consumption.
Note: This USB port is not intended for connection to Apple mobile devices, no

functionality, charging or otherwise is supported.

2. Standby/On

Switches the unit on or off. When powering up, LED will flash approximately once

a second as the unit boots up, the display will initially be blank before a splash

screen appears.
Note that the full startup sequence can take approximately 30 seconds to complete.

Instant On

To enable Instant On, it must first be activated within the setup menus. Go to

"Settings -> Power-> Instant On" and set to "On".
Instant On, when enabled, allows 851N to enter a lower power suspended state

using the Standby/On button. The display is turned off and many of the internal

processes are disabled to reduce power consumption. However the difference

between Instant On and Standby is that in Instant On, power remains connected to

the main controller, Ethernet and Wi-Fi sections.
In Instant On, networking functionality remains alive in the background. This means

that 851N can be quickly woken up out of the suspended state into an operational

state using not only the front panel, the infra-red remote and the control bus, but

also the Stream Magic App running on iOS or Android devices. This is not possible

when the unit is in full Standby mode.
Short presses of the Standby/On button then toggle the 851N between On and

Instant On.
Note: after putting the unit into Instant On mode, you will not be able to wake the

unit into full On mode until 5 seconds have elapsed.
Full standby can still be activated by keeping the Standby/On button pressed for

more than two seconds. A subsequent press of Standby/On turns the unit fully on,

but remember that this can’t be done over the network (i.e. from the iOS app) and

that it takes longer to reach the full operational state.

Playing' views.

4. Home

Press takes you to Home screen.

5. Filter

Press to toggle through three alternative digital filter characteristics: Linear Phase,

Minimum Phase or Steep. Alternative digital filters can offer subtly different sound

quality characteristics. The currently selected filter is displayed by the indicators

just above the button.

Phase

Press and hold the Filter/Phase select button for approximately two seconds to

select normal or inverted phase output. When the LED lights up, the phase is

inverted by the 851N.
If you suspect that your source material or amplifier, etc., is inverting the phase

of the musical signal, you can use this function to re-invert the audio and regain

absolute positive phase.

6. Infrared sensor

Receive IR commands from the supplied remote control. A clear unobstructed line

of sight between the remote control and the sensor is required.

12. Navigation/Select (rotary dial)

Rotate to scroll and navigate around the menus. Pressing the rotary dial in performs

the 'Select' function to accept the item/function shown on the display.

Fast Scroll feature

When scrolling through lists of tracks or stations, normally rotating the rotary

encoder or press of the remote control navigator button steps to the next item in

the list. For long lists this can become tiresome.
The Fast Scroll feature, which is always enabled, detects how fast the front panel

rotary encoder is being rotated or how long the remote control navigator buttons

have been pressed. The faster the encoder rotation or the longer the button press,

the bigger the jump up or down the list with each step.
If navigating using the front panel rotary encoder, reducing the speed of rotation

then decreases the step size again.
If navigating using the remote control, you need to release the button to stop the

scroll and press-and-hold the button again to begin the scroll speed ramp-up, or

single-press the button to step one item in the list at a time.

13. Return
