Using the Control Unit

Selecting a source
During normal use the control unit should be left in the standby
state. This uses a negligible amount of electricity, but ensures
that the components of the control unit operate at maximum
efficiency from the moment you start.
If you are not going to use the control unit for a period of several
days you should switch the unit completely off, at the rear panel,
and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
To switch on from standby
● Press Source (front panel), or select a source by pressing the
appropriate source key on the remote control.
If the 501/501V Control Unit is part of a Meridian system, it will
automatically switch on any other unit in the system, such as the
CD player.
To select a source
● Press Source (front panel) until the display shows the source
you require, or press the appropriate source key on the
remote control.
The display shows the source, and volume setting.
For example, if you select the
CD input the display will show:
CD65
