If, however, you encounter any problems, either when installing it, or during operation, please check the following pages for suggested solutions. If these suggestions fail to cure the problem, please contact your Meridian dealer for further assistance. General operating problems The front panel shows `Error' or `No Disc' when attempting to play a disc · Check that the disc is positioned correctly in the tray. If this disc works, check the problematic disc for signs of dirt or damage. The CD player will not play a particular disc · The disc may be scratched or faulty. Although we have made every effort to ensure complete compatibility with all supported disc types, it is impossible to check the correct operation of every function of the G Series CD player with every available disc; furthermore, some discs currently on sale do not conform to the agreed format specifications. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for discs that will not play correctly, even if they play correctly on other brands of player.
