If you make a mistake, you can delete characters by pressing the button.

After entering the final character, use the rotary dial to select and press the character at the end of the character list. The Minx Xi will now connect to the network.

Network music playback

To stream music over your network from a computer or NAS drive with a UPnP/DLNA function, ensure that your UPnP server is set up and switched on – you may need to consult your UPnP/DLNA server/NAS drive instruction manual for details.

Navigate to the Media menu, then the UPnP Servers menu and press the rotary dial to select your server – this will appear as you have named it in the server setup (eg. Twonky Media, Ben’s Music Library, etc).

The Minx Xi will now load the appropriate menus from the selected server, allowing you to browse and play back music from that server by scrolling and then pressing the rotary dial.

You can also browse and play using the Stream Magic app or supplied remote control.

Bluetooth

The Minx Xi is supplied with a BT100 Bluetooth adaptor. This allows the Minx Xi to receive wireless Bluetooth audio from suitable phones/tablets and laptops.

To send Bluetooth audio to the BT100 you must first pair your phone/tablet or laptop with the BT100.

Connect the BT100 to the BT100 USB socket on the rear of the Minx Xi.

Put the BT100 in pairing mode by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button on the remote control for 4-5 seconds, or by double pressing the button on the BT100 itself (note it is on the underside).

Now pair with your phone/tablet/computer (you may need to consult your Bluetooth device’s user manual for details). You only need to do this the once, as the BT100 will remember your Bluetooth device the next time you wish to use it.

With a BT100 installed, ‘Bluetooth’ will appear as a menu item in the home menu. Use the rotary dial to select and play from this input.

Audio inputs

The Minx Xi has two Analogue audio inputs, two Digital audio inputs and a front 3.5mm ‘MP3’ input for the headphone output of portable players.
