By connecting the USB port on your computer to the USB port on the CR-N1, you can listen to music and other sounds from your computer with high quality. Before connecting your computer to the USB port, see “Windows USB setup” on page 52 or “Macintosh USB setup” on page 56.

Note: If you turn the CR-N1 on or off, or connect or disconnect the USB cable while your computer is outputting sound (e.g., playing back audio), or while launching audio playback software, your computer may become unstable. Always quit audio playback software 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 frequently 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.

Mixing USB with other 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.

1Press 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.
