Switching on and off
During normal use the CD player should be left in the standby
state. This uses a negligible amount of electricity, but ensures
that the components of the CD player operate at maximum
efficiency from the moment you start playing a disc.
If you are not going to use the CD player for a period of several
days you should switch the unit completely off, at the back
panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
To switch on from standby
● Press Open (front panel only), > (Play), • (Stop), or =
(Pause).
● Switch on any other equipment connected to the CD player
which is not part of the Meridian 500 Series.
To insert a disc
● Press Open (front panel only) to open the drawer.
● Place your disc, label side up, over the hub, as shown
opposite.
● Press Open again to close the drawer.
To switch to standby
● Press Off.

If you have other Meridian 500 Series equipment connected to
the CD player, these units will also switch to standby.
If a disc is currently playing, switching to standby will stop the
disc, and the disc can safely be left in the unit.
