2 Basic operation
2.1 First operation / self test
In case the device was not connected to mains a self test will be performed when it is
switched on by the mains switch (30) for the first time. The unit will check its configuration
and that all the installed components work properly. The procedure is shown in the display.
Afterwards the unit will switch to stand by.
2.2 Switching on / stand by
Using the button power (1) you can switch between on (operate) and stand by. When
switched on, the display (10) lights up and the LED (3) is off. In stand by mode the display is
off and the LED is on to indicate that the unit is still connected to mains.
Tube warmup (CS 8.2)
Due to the warm-up phase of the integrated tube line stage, the power-on time of the CS 8.2
is extended by approx. 30 seconds.
CAUTION: When switched to stand by the unit is still connected to the mains. In case of a
thunderstorm or if you leave the house for a longer time, we recommend you switch the
amplifier off by using the mains switch (30) or pull the mains plug (29).
2.3 Selecting the signal source
A local signal source (e.g. analog inputs, digital inputs, CD) can be selected by turning the
source selector (2) until the desired source appears on the display. Other sources such as

15
Online Services (TIDAL, Qobuz, Webradio, Podcasts), Music Server or USB (STICK HDD)
(24) can only be accessed via the optional RC 9 remote control or the free RC S App for iOS
and Android.
CAUTION: If you switch to another source while playing a CD, the drive will stop first. This
may take a few seconds. If you activate a digital input that has no valid signal, NO DIG
SIGNAL is shown on the display (10).
2.4 Volume settings
Use the rotary encoder on the right-hand side (11) to set the desired volume. Depending on
the rotating speed the volume increases / decreases in steps of 0.5 dB (slow) or in steps of 2
dB (fast). The current volume setting is shown on the display (10).
NOTE: Please note that if the volume is changed using the optionally available RC 9 remote
control, the level always increases / decreases in 2 dB steps.
2.4.1 Input sensitivity (Level Setting)
The level of signal sources often differs by several dBs. Sometimes you recognize an
unpleasant step in volume, when switching between two different inputs. With the sensitivity
setting menu you can avoid this.
Use the source selector (2) to choose an input (16, 17, 22) and set the volume to a convenient
level. If you now notice an unpleasant increase or decrease in volume, after switching to
another local input by turning the source selector (2), press the menu button MENU under the
display for more than 2 seconds. The button is now marked EXIT LVL. Now you can switch
between different sources and adjust the levels by using the volume knob (11). The sensitivity
of each input can be adjusted between – 9.5 dB and + 10.0 dB. Pressing the menu button
EXIT LVL under the display again will exit the level setting mode and bring the unit back to
normal operating mode.
NOTE: While the level setting mode is active the unit will not respond to any RC 9 remote
control command.
Level adjustment of digital inputs
Please note that in order to adjust the input sensitivity of a digital input (22), a digital signal
must be connected to the respective input. If you activate a digital input that has no valid
signal, NO DIG SIGNAL is shown on the display (10) and the sensitivity setting menu is
deactivated.
To adjust the input sensitivity of the CD Player or FM Tuner, please choose an analog or
digital input (e.g. XLR or COAX) and keep the menu button MENU under the display pressed
for more than 2 seconds. Now switch to the CD Player or FM Tuner by turning the source
selector (2) and adjust the volume level with the volume knob (11). The reason for the small

16
‘detour’ is that both the CD Player and the FM Tuner host dedicated menus when the menu
button MENU under the display is pressed for more than 2 seconds:
- CD Player: Programming an individual playlist (see 2.6.5).
- FM Tuner: Station and memory (see 2.7.2).
NOTE: If you should recognize a (slightly) distorted sound while listening to a CD Player
which is connected to one of the analog high-level inputs (16,17), please adjust the input
sensitivity of the respective input as described above. If this won’t help, please activate the
function set input attenuation (see section 3.2.1).
2.5 Digital inputs (COAX, OPTO, USB)
2.5.1 Samplerate and filter setting
After selecting one of the digital inputs (22) the current filter setting and sample rate (44.1, 48,
88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352, 384 kHz) is shown in the upper left area of the display (10). By
pressing the soft key CONV once or several times you can choose between available sample
rates and filter setttings for the current source. NATIVE indicates that the incoming sample
rate of the signal is being directly processed. CONV (CONVERSION) however indicates an
ongoing upsampling or downsampling process of the incoming signal to a desired sample
rate.
Please note that only the settings NATIVE STEEP and NATIVE SMOOTH are available if USB
is selected.
The digital filter settings SMOOTH and STEEP can be set according to your personal
preference. Technically speaking, the setting STEEP indicates a steep filter characteristic at
the upper end of the frequency band, leading both to a flat amplitude frequency response
and a rather strong phase rotation. SMOOTH however leads to a less steep filter
characteristic by showing a slightly earlier attenuation of the amplitude frequency response
with almost no phase rotation.
Please note that a chosen filter setting is only true for a selected input and is being recalled
every time you select the respective input again, even after the device has completey been
switched off.
2.5.2 USB B input
If a digital signal from a computer (PC or Mac) is connected to the USB B digital input (22),
you can choose between two different modes (LO RES or HI RES) by pressing the menu
buttons 8 and 9.
LO RES can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to 96kHz
without the need for an additional audio driver on your Windows PC or Mac.

17
HI RES can be used to play back a digital input signal with a sample rate of up to 384kHz/24
Bit (PCM) without the need to install an audio driver on your Mac. If you are using a Windows
PC you will need to install an additional driver which is available for download on the
respective product page at www.avm.audio.
Please note that you need to select the HI RES mode in order to play back DSD64 or
DSD128 files.
2.6 CD Player
The included CD player can play back all compact discs which are recorded according to the
red book standard (means the standards for audio CDs established by Philips and Sony).
Furthermore, all CDRs and CDR/Ws with good reflection recorded according to this standard
are playable. Most copy protected discs are also playable. But we cannot take responsibility
that all future copy protection systems are playable.
2.6.1 Insert / eject
Insert a CD
The device is provided with a slot-in CD drive (4). Insert the CD (coverside up) and push
slightly. The drive will now automatically draw the disc inside. After that the player reads the
TOC (table of contents) and shows it on the display. Most left is the number of the actual
track followed by the total number of tracks on the CD (for example "1/17"). The middle of the
display shows the total playing time of the CD.

3.1 Global settings
3.1.1 Set tone control
Set tone control activates or deactivates the integrated sound settings menu which enables
you to individually adjust the bass or treble level of a certain sound source or lets you choose
from a range of available loudness curves.
Set tone control can be bypassed (BYPASS) or activated (ACTIVE). In case the set tone
control option is activated, TONE ON is shown on the display (4), otherwise LINEAR. When
switched to ACTIVE the sound settings menu is ready to operate but will only be enabled if
one of the associated parameters such as set bass, set treble or set loudness is being
altered. In case all three parameters are in a neutral position (BASS = 0, TREBLE= 0,
COUNTOUR = OFF) the set tone control option remains ready for operation without
processing the signal. You can choose if you want to change bass and treble settings
simultaneously for all inputs (GLOBAL) or exclusively for the currently selected input
