Switching on and off

PLAYER
When not playing, the DVD/CD player should be left in the standby state.
This uses a minimal amount of electricity, but ensures that the components
of the DVD/CD player operate at maximum effi ciency from the moment
you start.
After switching on, the 800 runs an initialising cycle which takes a few
seconds. Do not press any keys until the standby display appears.
If you are not going to use the DVD/CD player for several days you should
switch the unit off completely at the rear panel, and disconnect it from the
AC power supply.
To switch on from standby
• Press Open, *, or > (front panel), or select a source on the remote.
If the DVD/CD player is part of a Meridian system it will automatically
switch on any other unit in the system, such as the 861 Reference Digital
Surround Controller and Meridian DSP Loudspeakers.
To switch to standby
• Press Off (front panel or remote).
If you have other Meridian equipment or Meridian DSP Loudspeakers
connected to the DVD/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.
Always remove any disc before moving or shipping the 800.
