The s80 amplifier will automatically select the cd input when a disc is played. Analog inputs may be selected from the remote control or directly from the front panel. The digital input of the cd player is accessed only from the remote control.

The Opus 21 is designed to remain powered continuously. In standby mode, the display is turned off and the output is muted, but all of the circuitry remains powered. The output modulator is also disabled in standby. If you do not intend to use the player for an extended period of time, the power may be removed via the

power switch in the rear. When power is re-applied, the Opus 21 will warm up and sound its best in about 1 hour.
