Using the preamplifier features

The 808 Anniversary System CD Player includes a preamplifier, and can 
act as the controller for up to 11 other sources, and provide an optional 
volume control for the analogue inputs.

This chapter explains how to use these features from either the front 
panel or the MSR+.
