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.
