The master speaker should have a red led and the slave a green one.

I've just got the 561.
Opened up unit, remarkably clean inside, despite of having an opening at the bottom I guess for aeration.
I'm going to leave alone the wire conversion to 220V, already having two cassette decks running from a step-down transformer. And I don't see the 561 needing a lot of power at all.
Is there a way, since opened up, to tell if this has had the M upgrade? It was sold as 561, but you never know. Although makes no difference for my purpose.

Thanks.

561M the additional board added a headphone output on the back panel.

There’s a few pictures of the insides of 561 and 561M that were part of my Meridian journey a good few years ago in the link Ian has posted. It’s worth noting that there was a modification to the transformer mounting that greatly reduced susceptibility to mains hum on mine….

Regards

Richard

OK, this is a 561 with firmware 1.7 according the display.
The transformer mounting has been updated on this example what I got, as this.
Meridian said there was hum originally from the analog outputs. I'm not going to use analog out, but anyways transformer mounted to the bracket.
But just noticed, that the 561 does not have feet. Is this normal? I don't think so. What's going on?

Doesn't have any provisions for screw-in rubber feet.
I can buy some self-adhesive feet, but at this level is below standard. If this is how these originally came out.
Might be explained with the odd square shape of the 500 series.

The 500 series had simple domed rubber bump feet.

Typically, after many years, these deteriorated and turned sticky.

As John has stated, replacement feet are available on Amazon... Make sure you get the larger versions!

Cheers,

Steve
