Using the 808.2
Signature Reference
CD Player
Switching on and off
When not playing, the CD player should be left in the standby state. This uses a minimal amount of electricity, but ensures that the components of the CD player operate at maximum efficiency from the moment you start.
If you are not going to use the CD player for several days you should switch the unit off completely at the rear panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
To switch on from standby
•Press å, *, or > (front panel), or select a source on the remote.
If the CD player is part of a Meridian system it will automatically switch on any other units in the system, such as the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller and Meridian DSP Loudspeakers.
To insert a disc
•Press å (front panel) or Function * (remote) to open the tray.
•Place your disc in the tray, label side up.
•Press å (front panel), Function * (remote), or > to close the tray.
To switch to standby
•Press Off (front panel or remote).
If you have other Meridian equipment or Meridian DSP Loudspeakers connected to the CD player these units will also switch to standby.
If a disc is currently playing, switching to standby will stop the disc, and the disc can safely be left in the unit.
Always remove any disc before moving or shipping the 808.2.
