Service

The Meridian 500 Series of hi-fi components have been carefully

designed to give years of untroubled service. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside the case, nor do the units require any

form of maintenance.

In the unlikely event that your mono power amplifier fails to

function correctly, it should be returned, in its original

packaging, to your Meridian dealer.

In case of difficulty within the UK or USA please contact the

appropriate sales and service address shown on page ii.

In case of difficulty outside the UK or USA, contact the importing

agent for the territory. A list of Meridian agents abroad is

available from Meridian Audio.

No responsibility can be accepted for the mono power amplifier

whilst in transit to the factory or an agent, and customers are

therefore advised to insure the unit.

When seeking service under guarantee, proof of the date of

purchase will be required.

Guarantee

The 505 Mono Power Amplifier is guaranteed against defects in

material and workmanship for two years from the date of

purchase.

The guarantee is void if the 505 Mono Power Amplifier has been

subject to misuse, accident, or negligence, or has been

tampered with or modified in any way without the written

authorisation of Meridian Audio Limited. Attempted servicing by

unauthorised people may also invalidate this guarantee. Labour

and carriage charges are not covered unless by local agreement.

Outside the UK, local warranty liability is restricted to equipment

purchased within the territory. Our agents abroad are only under

contractual obligation to service under guarantee equipment

sold through them. They are entitled to make a non-refundable

charge for any service carried out on other equipment.

This guarantee does not limit your statutory rights within the

United Kingdom.
