Introduction

First and foremost, thank you for choosing Cambridge Audio.
I'm sure that you're excited to listen to your new acquisition; I hope your expectations will be surpassed and that the pleasure will continue for many years to come.
At Cambridge Audio we are in awe of the way that music can move us. It's something that isn't easy to describe, but you know how wonderful it is.
Personally, listening to a quality system provokes the same reaction every time, it takes hold of me, possesses me and demands that I listen. I can lose myself for hours on a voyage of discovery, playing tracks that I haven't heard in years, and they all sound brand new. It thrills me, I'll be nodding, grinning, tapping and if there's a glass of wine involved, dancing like a fool! It's as exciting as hearing the songs for the first time, but with the added delight of recalling feelings and memories too. It really is a beautiful thing.
And that power is why we developed Edge, the pinnacle of five decades of engineering precision, continuous audio innovation and our lasting love of music. It's the inevitable conclusion to the singular objective that's guided Cambridge Audio from the start; to produce audio equipment that faithfully delivers a pure and natural sound. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
Cambridge Audio was born in 1968, when a promising R&D business established by some talented young technology graduates in Cambridge, England, turned their attention to stereo amplifiers. Britain in the 1960's was an incredibly exciting place to be - a time when British bands began to enjoy unprecedented global success, our studios led the way in recording technology and a small group of enterprising British engineers started to make equipment that would accurately playback these landmark recordings.
50 years on, and all our engineering and design is still carried out in the UK, by our dedicated teams in London and Cambridge. There's a few more of us working here now, and our head-office has relocated to central London; where we proudly continue to deliver world class hi-fi.
Our quest for audio perfection is built on simple principles; minimise the number of components in the signal path and select each component by listening to discover those with the purest sound. We're immensely proud of what we've created, having spared nothing in our efforts for perfection.

But ultimately this is about far more than the equipment and it's even more important than the music, it's about your experience when you listen. We hope that your Edge will transport you to some of the magical moments in your life, reminding you exactly why you fell in love with music in the first place. Time to sit down, take a breath, and let the music take you away, wherever your heart desires.
Stuart George
MANAGING DIRECTOR, CAMBRIDGE AUDIO

ES

IT

SV

RU  

If you experience any trouble with your Edge NQ, visit the help section on our webpage at http://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com

If you have trouble connecting the Edge NQ to your network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:
· Confirm that a connected computer can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.
· If you have an encrypted Wi-Fi network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive.
If your Edge NQ can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular Internet Radio stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:
· The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).
· The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
· The station is not broadcasting anymore.
· The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is too slow.
If you have problems with UPnP playback check the following:
· Ensure your chosen UPnP server software is capable of serving the file type you are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance.
· The Edge NQ can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played by the Edge NQ. Some servers may be able to authorise and de-crypt Microsoft Playsforsure before then serving the content to the Edge NQ, but this operation is not guaranteed as it is purely a function of the server.

· If attempting to play 24-bit WAV or FLAC content a wired Ethernet connection is normally required for reliable operation due to bandwidth considerations.
· Check the Edge NQ is capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access.
If you have problems with USB Media playback check the following:
· Check the Edge NQ is capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access.
· For USB Media the Edge NQ can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played.
· Check that your device does not require more than 1A if it is powered from the USB socket itself.
· Check your device format is supported by the Edge NQ.
· The way you organise your USB media affects how efficiently the Edge NQ can browse the content. Good practice is to create folders for Artists within which you should have a sub folders for each Album which then contain the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the Edge NQs media browsing.

The webmin page allows you to change Edge NQ settings and install firmware updates.
To view webmin, enter the IP address of the Edge NQ into a browser on a computer, phone or tablet connected to the same network.
The IP address of the Edge NQ can be found in the Setup menu. To enter the setup menu, press and hold the front panel power button for a few seconds while the unit is powered on. Use the source selector to browse through various settings and press the power button to select.
