Selecting a source
The 808 responds to the following 12 source keys on
the remote:
CD, Radio, DVD, Aux, Disc, Tape, TV, Cable, Sat,
VCR1, VCR2, and Game.
The CD source usually corresponds to the internal
drive, the Aux source usually corresponds to the
internal Sooloos interface, and the VCR2 source usually
corresponds to the USB input.
The input associated with each of the sources depends
on how the 808 has been set up; for more information
refer to the Meridian Configuration Program Guide .
Your installer may have customised the labels
displayed for each source to suit your other
equipment.

display shows the source you want, or press the
appropriate source key on the remote; eg CD.
