Remote Control Operation

The Wadia 581 Disc Player remote control requires two type-AAA batteries, which you will find in the accessories kit. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover on the back of the remote by removing the phillips head screws. Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery holders.

Format Selection

The Wadia 581 Disc Player transport mechanism has CD and SACD playback capabilities. You can toggle between the CD or SACD layer on a hybrid disc by pressing the mode button.

Adjusting the Volume

Whenever the volume control buttons are pressed, the volume for both channels will be increased or decreased by an increment of 1 on the display screen. The range of the volume control is from 1 to 100, with each step representing 0.5 dB change in volume.

Adjusting the Balance

Relative volume of each channel can be adjusted via the balance control buttons on the remote. Pressing one of the balance buttons increases the volume on that channel relative to the other by an increment of 0.2 on the display. This corresponds to a 0.1 dB change. The next time the button is pressed the opposite channel is decreased. This way the overall volume level (the sum of the two channels) remains constant within 0.1 dB.

Selecting an Input

The Wadia 581i Disc Player has four digital inputs, plus the internal drive. Any of the inputs can be selected from the remote control by pressing the input button. Each time the input button is pressed, the next input is selected. For example, if you are listening to internal drive and you press the input select, Input 1 will be selected, press it again, and Input 2 will be selected and so on. After Input 4, the list will begin again with the internal drive.

Whenever you select a new input, the display will switch to the Input Screen.
