Selecting a source

features
The 808 responds to the following 12 source keys on
the remote:
CD, Radio, DVD, SLS, Disc, Tape, TV, Cable, Sat,
PVR, USB, and Game.
The input associated with each of the sources depends
on how the 808 has been set up; however, when
using standard settings the CD source corresponds to
the internal drive and the SLS source corresponds to
the internal Sooloos interface. For more information
refer to the Meridian Configuration Program Guide
available from our website; see Installing the Meridian
Configuration Application , page 46.
Your installer may have customised the labels
displayed for each source to suit your other
equipment.
