I sent my 861 in because I was having a strange problem. After the unit being on for a few hours - I would lose audio and the display would go out.

It would stop responding and only start working again once I power cycled the unit at the switch on the back.

I got an RMA and sent the unit in... it was in Atl for about 5 weeks. I got it back yesterday and it's doing the same thing!!!

I have to say that getting any info about the status of my repair was nearly impossible too.

I would send emails and they were ignored. I would call and ask for a specific person to call me back... and I never would hear back.

So far I am anything but impressed with how Meridian is taking care of me as a customer.

Sorry to rant... but I am just wondering if this is typical for Meridian. If so - I may have to look into a Halcro!!!

Very pissed off,
Jim
