Input A4 is now the dedicated input for you to listen and control volume with your
home theater processor (Meaning that when you listen to regular music you use
the preamplifier found in the MD 308). Once input A4 has been activated into
Home Theater
mode, volume on input A4 will now be controlled via your external
processor preamp.

POWER VU-METERS
The MD 308 has been equipped with special power output meters. These meters
reflect the power output of the amplifier during music playback.
The MD 308 is capable of momentary power demands of well over 250 watts,
without “clipping”, or running out of power. The meters have a red area at the right
hand side, during normal music playback, certain passages of music will bring you
frequently into the red zone. This normal occurrence is a direct result of musical
peaks, and it is not an indication of the amplifier having reached its maximum power
output.
If meters remain in red area for periods exceeding 10 seconds, this indicates that
the amplifier is reaching its maximum power output level – reduce volume
