Volume Control
The volume control in the EX-8 is motorized and may
be controlled using the knob on the front of the unit, the
remote control handset, or a network application.
Input Selection
By pressing the right-hand button on the front panel,
the currently selected input will cycle to the next enabled
input. This may also be adjusted using the left/right
arrow keys or number keys on the remote handset. To
learn more about enabling/disabling inputs, see page 21.
Mute / System-sleep
A quick press of the left-hand button will mute the
audio outputs of the EX-8. While muted, an icon will
appear on the display. A second short press of the left-
hand button will un-mute the unit.
By pressing and holding the left-hand button for three
seconds, the EX-8 and any AyreLink connected devices
will return to System-sleep mode.
Headphones
When either single-ended or balanced headphones are
connected, the amplifier automatically reconfigures for
headphone playback, and the headphone symbol is
shown on the display.
By pressing the headphone button on the remote
control, you can switch between headphone and rear-
panel outputs while headphones are connected.
The EX-8 volume control is
purely analog.
To make input selection
easier, try disabling any
inputs you aren’t using
through the menu.
When muted, the amplifier
prevents signal from
reaching the outputs.
