Using USB
By connecting the USB port on your com-
puter to the USB port on the CR-N1, you can
listen to music and other sounds from your
computer with high quality. Before connect-
ing your computer to the USB port, see
“Windows USB setup” on page 52 or “Mac-
intosh USB setup” on page 56.
Note: If you turn the CR-N1 on or off, or con-
nect or disconnect the USB cable while your
computer is outputting sound (e.g., playing
back audio), or while launching audio play-
back software, your computer may become
unstable. Always quit audio playback soft-
ware before turning the CR-N1 on or off, or
before connecting or disconnecting the USB
cable.
If the CR-N1 is turned on or off frequently, or
the USB cable connected or disconnected fre-
quently while your computer is up and run-
ning, in some cases your computer may stop
operating normally. In this case, you should
restart your computer.
1 To select the USB input source, press the
INPUT button on the CR-N1 repeatedly
until “USB” appears on the display, or
press the USB button on the remote con-
troller.
The Volume, Muting, and Acoustic Pres-
ence functions can all be used with USB
sources.
The USB Mix function allows you to mix
audio from the CD, LINE, FM, or AM source
with audio from the USB port, which means
that you can still hear computer system
sounds while listening to your favorite CDs
or radio stations.
1 Press the INPUT button on the CR-N1
repeatedly, or use the CD, LINE, FM, or
AM INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the
remote controller to select the required
input source.
2 Press the USB MIX button on the CR-N1
(the USB MIX ON indicator lights up and
the SOURCE DIRECT indicator goes out).
3 Use the USB MIX LEVEL control to set the
level of the USB signal.
Turn the USB MIX LEVEL control counter-
clockwise to increase the level of the
selected source, and turn it clockwise to
increase the level of the USB source.
