BT100 controls and connections

A. Pairing button/Status LED

Button performs pairing and related functionality. Integrated LED indicates BT100

status.

B. USB plug

Streams high quality USB audio into your Minx Xi via the rear dedicated BT100

USB socket.

Pairing

To begin streaming high quality music from your chosen media source it will rst

need to be paired with the BT100.

A. Double click the button on the BT100 to enter pairing mode, the BT100 indicates

it is in the pairing state by ashing rapidly.

B. Put your Bluetooth compliant audio source into pairing mode. Please consult

your manufacturer's user manual on how to do this.

Pairing your BT100 and source establishes an authorised audio link that can then

be used again in the future without having to go through this stage again.

After pairing you can just select the Bluetooth from the menu and play at any time

as long as your Bluetooth A2DP compatible source (phone/laptop etc.) is within

approx. 10m of the BT100.

Normally on your source you will need to select Bluetooth Pairing and then

the BT100 should appear as 'Cambridge Audio BT100' in a list of locally found

Bluetooth devices.

Select that item in the list to nish pairing.

C. On successful pairing, the BT100s LED goes off for a second or two, then triple

ashes quickly. The LED then goes off and only lights up in the future when you

are playing audio via Bluetooth.

D. To play back via a paired Bluetooth device, simply select the BT100 on that

device and start playing, then select Bluetooth in the Minx Xi menu. The BT100

LED lights up constantly when streaming SBC or on and icks off every 2

seconds when streaming aptX.

Notes:

- You can pair to more than one source up to a maximum of 8 sources at any time.

Pairing to a 9th device will cause the rst one to be forgotten and so on. However

as you would expect the BT100 can only play back from one of these sources at

a time.

- When you have nished playback many sources keep the Bluetooth

link active for a time unless you actively tell them to stop by deselecting

playback via the BT100 (do not unpair as this is not necessary).

This can prevent another source to be able to access the BT100.

To immediately use another source, simply deselect the BT100 for playback on

your rst source device before starting up on a second.

- Some devices stream empty data all the time even when paused or stopped.

These devices will cause the BT100s LED to be on even if playback is currently

stopped or paused.

Audio Inputs menu

Press and hold the button to get to the top menu. Select the 'Audio Inputs'

from the main menu and then the audio input source that you wish to listen to. For

more information, refer to Analogue and Digital audio connections.

Audio Inputs

Front MP3 In

Choose Front MP3 In, A1 or A2 for analogue audio inputs or choose D1 or D2 for

digital audio inputs.

Presets

The Minx Xi supports 20 presets. These can be Internet Radio stations or streams

from most Streaming Services. UPnP/Local media cannot be set as a preset.. To

add a station/stream to a preset rst select that stream for playback in the normal

way. Now press and hold the

button this will bring up the presets menu.

Select 'Set Preset' and the preset location you require. Press in the Navigation/

Select dial to save the current station/stream to that preset.

Recalling presets is done simply by pressing the button and selecting the

preset you want with a brief push of the Navigation/Select dial.

Note: The Minx Xi loads the presets for display from our Stream Magic servers over

the internet, thus they can take a few seconds to appear.

Bluetooth

When connected to your Minx Xi the supplied BT100 adaptor allows the Minx Xi to

receive bluetooth audio (known as Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Prole

or A2DP).

The BT100 supports Bluetooth A2DP using either the original SBC encoded form or

the latest higher quality aptX encoded form.

SBC and aptX refer to the encoding used over the wireless Bluetooth interface only

and not the format your music may be in, which can be any type that your phone/

laptop or other playing device supports.

Your playing device plays your les then re-encodes the playback before streaming

it to the BT100 in one of these two formats.

Many phones and laptops now feature Bluetooth with A2DP. SBC should be

supported by all such devices (it is the mandatory format for A2DP).

aptX is optional, so check if your sending device supports it, if you wish to achieve

the highest quality audio transfer.

Note: The BT100 declares that it can handle both SBC and aptX to the sending

device which will then use whichever version it supports.

What is aptX?

aptX is a high quality CODEC (CODer/DECoder) i.e. a way of compressing audio

data so it can be sent over a link such as Bluetooth then decompressed on the

other side (if both devices support it).

If your Bluetooth audio source does not support aptX, the BT100 will fall back to

using the standard SBC CODEC that is supported by all Bluetooth audio devices.

This ist only for the stations in Germany SWR1 Baden-Württemberg Submitted on 1-4-2022 at 14:41

I have been using the Cambridge Audio Minx Xi for a few years now. The most recent firmware update has been done successfully. Now I am having issues with song display on the radio stations I am using. The designated radio stations are showing in the display screen, however, a blank screen where the song playing should show. Any suggestions would be most helpful? Thanks.
