When not playing, the 808 should be left in the standby
state. This uses a minimal amount of electricity, but
ensures that the components of the 808 operate at
maximum efficiency from the moment you start.
If you are not going to use the 808 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.
If the 808 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 808 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.
