I am having this message display as soon as I turn on the unit " BAD EEPROM CONTENT" and I hear major buzzing sound from one channel of the OA13 XLR output cards. The unit is new and I can,t save my setting because of the of it.

Has it ever worked?
Try retyping it from the front panel.

Reload all the firmware. This message seems to occur if there is a mismatch between the release status of the various components of the firmware. You get it during upgrading using WinFup.

I am not upgrading I am simply setting the unit up for the first time via a laptop. Is it possible that I fetched the setting from my old 861. The buzzing is sure driving me crazy it is only from one channle of oA13 card.
Retyping from front panel will try next. By the way how you do that.

Reload the firmware anyway. Bad EEPROM usually contents indicates a faulty firmware load. I'm pretty shocked that a new, out of the box 861 would power up with this message.
After that, retype based on what you've got.

Regards, I am as shocked as you are.I planed to set it up via front display for now and get it going till later on. I planed out all my wiring first . I hooked up all my 5 channels plus one sub which is daisy chained to another sub, and when I turned on the amp and the 861 this is where I got the message and also the buzzing sound from one channel of the OA13 cards.

Since this is a brand new unit, I suspect one of the OA13 boards is jumpered wrong or defective.
You should call Meridian monday.

Do you not have dealer support with this unit ? It's a bit of a surprise that it hasn't been checked out already for you (in this price bracket).
I presume your old 861 was a earlier version so there may be a difference in config files you are loading. You are using the newer config program aren't you ?
The flash upload program is easy and quick enough to use...you could try it and force the firmware to refresh.
