Meridian America Meridian 518 ユーザーズマニュアル

Before turning on the power, check once again that you have made all the
connections correctly.

The 518 is designed to be left connected to AC power at all times and can
be run continuously.

The power switch is located directly next to the power inlet on the right-
rear of 518.

1. Turn on the power switch at the rear of the unit. A small point on the

display should now be illuminated.

Check the integrity of the power connections, including any fuses in the
supply. If the display is still not illuminated, contact your dealer for help.

The 518 stores your latest settings for each Source in non-volatile
EEPROM memory and automatically returns to these settings either when
you come back to that Source, or on power-up.

The settings which are remembered for each Source are:

• 

Gain (not volume in Control Unit mode)

• 

DSP

• 

Dither

• 

In

• 

Out

The entire 500 Series is designed to be left connected to AC power at all
times.

This Standby state ensures that the components operate at maximum
efficiency from the moment you start listening. It is perfectly safe and
consumes a negligible amount of power. However, when you are not
going to use your system for an extended period of time, e.g. when you
are going on holiday, we would advise you to disconnect it from the AC
power supply.

The majority of functions are available from the front panel controls. When
used as a preamplifier (Type 0), more functions are available using the
Meridian System Remote control. See ' Advanced operation using the
Remote Control' on page 15.

This section describes the front-panel operation for those controls that are
common to all applications.

The following sections describe differences when operating 518 as a
Control unit, as a Resolution Enhancer and as a Mastering processor.
