Meridian Audio 808 User Manual

CONFIGURING THE 

CD PLAYER 

The CD player provides several sets of standard settings, called  Types, which 

confi gure all aspects of the 808 into one of a number of alternative 

standard confi gurations.

Types 0 to 3 are factory settings, designed to cater for the most commonly 

needed confi gurations of associated equipment.

These standard Types are shown in the following table:

0

CD player, variable output, all sources internal.

1

CD Player, fi xed output, all sources internal.

2

Preamplifi er, fi xed output, CD internal, all other sources external (808i only).

3

Preamplifi er as above but variable output (808i only).

In addition, your installer may have provided one or more named User 

Types, with settings appropriate to the confi guration of equipment when 

your 808 was installed.

You can reset the confi guration of the CD player to any of these Types to 

restore it to the state it was in when it was installed. Note: Selecting a Type 

will clear any confi guration changes you have made.
