Switching on and off
When not playing, the DVD player should be left in the standby
state. This uses a minimal amount of electricity, but ensures that
the components of the DVD player operate at maximum
efficiency from the moment you start.
After switching on the 598 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 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 player is part of a Meridian system it will automatically
switch on any other unit in the system, such as the 568 Digital
Surround Processor and Meridian DSP Loudspeakers.
To switch to standby
● Press Off (front panel or remote).

If you have other Meridian 500 Series equipment connected to
the DVD 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 discs before moving or shipping the 598.
