Hmmm, maybe we got different versions of the manual... well I haven't read the manual in a long time. I pretty much got all the necessary menu functions memorized. Lets see, to turn off Re-master is *action *9 *5 *down *return. Volume is *top funny button twice *toggle left once *toggle up or down to control volume. I memorized these, ofcourse, since, otherwise, you need to connect the damn thing to a monitor even when you're just using the A-10 as a CD player.
I've used the A-10 to drive a few of my former amps and can say atleast I didn't experience any dropping bits. Then again, I used to have a Meridian 518 that attenuates in digital domain and didn't experience any bits dropping their either.
Anyhow, I finally got that damn part from Parasound and repaired my transport a few nights ago. Back to the closet the A-10 goes.
