I not only want to turn the blue meter lights OFF, but also the green McIntosh logo lights, the pale blue LED info display light, and also the red power light.

I can live with the one red power on light but the rest is just overkill.

LOOKS LIKE A DAMN frigging Christmas tree!!!

The manual tells me how to turn the meters off, and how to dim but not turn off the LED display.

Any chance there's a way to turn off the green logo lights or the LED display completely on a C2500?

Other than hitting the power off button? Otherwise, I might need to put up a bit of plywood to cover it up...

I don't think there is any way to do that.

FWIW, I occasionally block some of the rack with some black posterboard I happen to have. I just put it on the floor and lean it against the rack. Stores easily behind it.

JMAC is correct. Only the meter display lighting can be turned off. Not the logo, etc.

Good idea. Maybe they could release a firmware update...jk

Just open it up and pull the LED power leads!

My meters are always on everything in my HT and 2 channel room are in built in wall units on the side of the room so I have to turn my head to look at them and therefore when listing to music or watching movies they do not bother me. In the 2 channel room I now have 6 meters; they are fun to have on.

This photo is being repurposed (I was demonstrating a power cable break in for a friend) to show my lamp. Pardon the mess. I've got two bulbs ~ maybe 40 and 60 watt ~ and I just use the lesser. Okay, my lamp envy has been quenched.
