Hi guys, I just have a quick Italian question. If you're using a CD player or something
similar, and there's a particular setting that can be toggled on or off, what would be
written for the words "On" and "Off"?

Thanks!

I think on would be acceso "É acceso." It's on/running.

off would be "spento"

to turn off is spegnere.

Correct me if I'm wrong native Italians, I haven't been studying long.

Funnily enough, we have "On" and "Off" written on appliances and similar items in Italy too.

Or just one of the more or less standardized symbols like these:
