Adjusting the system volume
The 808 Signature Reference CD Player provides an optional volume control
on the analogue outputs, enabling it to drive amplifi ers or active
loudspeakers directly, and you can adjust the volume using the front panel
or remote.
The volume changes in precise steps of 1dB, where 9dB is equivalent to
doubling the loudness. The current volume setting is displayed in dB on the
front-panel display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99dB.
To change the volume
• Press Volume A or Volume V (under the front panel), or the red A or
V keys on the remote.
As you adjust the volume setting the display shows the current volume
level.
For example:
CD 65
To mute the sound
• Press Mute (under the front panel, or remote).
The display will show:
Mute
To restore the sound
• Press Mute again.
Alternatively, the sound will be restored if you adjust the volume.
