meter lights

I just got a new mc452 amp but cannot get the watt meters to light up. The dial is set for watts and I still have no lights. Am I missing something simple or do I need to call McIntosh?

Also if you are using the trigger plug in the rear, disconnect it and see if they come on. The newer Mc amps use a stereo trigger cable rather than the mono and that affects the lights. If not give McIntosh a call or e-mail, they are very helpfull.
