Check the following:

•There is AC power connected to the socket on the back of the DSP8000 loudspeaker.

•The power switch on the back panel of the DSP8000 loudspeaker is turned on.

If the display will still not illuminate, check any fuses in your power supply and the fuse in the inlet of the DSP8000 loudspeaker. If these are all intact, contact your dealer.

Remote not working

Check the following:

•The battery in the Meridian System Remote.

•See if the DSP8000 loudspeaker has been set up as not controller in the Meridian Configuration program; see Configuring the setup options, page 31. Note that this may be deliberate by your dealer.

If this equipment does cause or suffer from interference to/from radio or television reception then the following measures should be tried:

•Reorient the receiving aerial (or antenna) or route the antenna cable of the receiver as far as possible from the DSP8000 loudspeaker and its cabling.

•Ensure that the receiver uses well-screened antenna cable.

•Relocate the receiver with respect to the DSP8000 loudspeaker.

•Connect the receiver and this product to different AC outlets.
