This is of course only referring to the display on the 861.

As we know the source label on the 861 can be fully customised, but the labels on DSP speaker can only be changed to a pre-defined list on the DSP. Both of these method are documented in the user guides and dealers should know how to do this.

Now as we know, the only way to fully customise the source label on a DSP was to modify the firmware. This is of course and never will be sanctioned by either a dealer or Meridian. Also since the introduction of the .mfq files this method 'text editor' method no longer works as this files are encrypted.

So the statement in manual whilst true, is let down by the reality is that the system is not as flexible as is should be in this respect.

We have discussed options that Meridian could implement, the simplest being the ability for the user to select the displayed characters when the DSP is in setup mode.

I written to Meridian direct and via my dealer requesting, but thus far I have not received a satisfactory reply.
