Adjusting the system volume

The 808.2 Signature Reference CD Player provides

an optional volume control on the analogue outputs,

enabling it to drive amplifiers or active loudspeakers

directly, and you can adjust the volume using the front

panel or remote.

The volume changes in precise steps of 1dB, where

9dB is equivalent to doubling the loudness. The current

volume setting is displayed in dB on the front-panel

display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99dB.

To change the volume

Press Volume A or Volume V (under the front

panel), or the red A or V keys on the remote.

As you adjust the volume setting the display shows the

current volume level.

For example: CD 65

To mute the sound

Press Mute (remote or under the front panel).

The display shows: Mute

To restore the sound

Press Mute again.

Alternatively, the sound will be restored if you adjust the

volume.
