I got this with a view of having a good second TV/media room - sadly it has only really been tested and left in stand by for probably a year in total. For the vast majority of the time, the 562 just sat in the corner gathering dust ...... the kids have now grown up! Im not sure where the blank plug is for the Optical input #1. There is probably a remote, if I find it, Ill include it As I recall, it processes at 96kHz/24bit - you should check all specifications yourself to be sure. It is unquestionably good. Being the V2 version, it has all the refinements one would require, and I seem to recall an additional DAC card or something that elevates the V2 way beyond the previous iterations of this unit. An internal Phono Card can be added, making Analogue Input #1 into a dedicated Turntable pre-amp (I believe either MC or MM). Condition wise, its quite clean throughout, but please study the pictures. Im not sure why some of the case screws and washers rust a little, my home is certainly not damp, but the same has occurred to my 861 and my G98 - guess its just one of those things. For those familiar with Meridian products of this type, set up, while straight forward, there is still need for attention to detail, and careful reading of the instruction manual (Meridian manuals do contain all of the info, but are somewhat tortuous). Manuals cans easily be downloaded - if in doubt, a Meridian stockist will be able to assist. The good news is that you cant damage a Meridian product by programming it incorrectly! Please note however, the Meridian Comms sockets should only be used to connect to other Meridian products, thereby engendering an amazing, fully integrated system. The original box was recycled years ago, but it will be safely packed and marked as fragile. The 563 weighs in at 5kg. Feel free to collect from West Sheffield to save postage. Any questions, give me a bell: 077 394 391 97
