On/Off control menu

When going in/out of Standby mode the 840E can automatically turn on and off other connected Cambridge Audio Azur models that have control bus sockets. For this feature to work the units must be connected together (see diagram) by RCA/phono leads. The Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange on the rear panels of compatible Azur models. Connect the Control Bus Out from the 840E to the Control Bus In on another Azur model (e.g. 840W). Continue the chain to other Azur models if required.
