Meridian America 541 Selecting a source

Selecting a source

Using the surround controller

During normal use the surround controller should be left in the Standby state. This uses a negligible amount of electricity and is completely safe, but ensures that the components of the surround controller operate at maximum efficiency from the moment you start.

If you are not going to use the surround controller for 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: eg CD.

If the 541 Surround Controller 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; eg CD.
