Introduction

The Meridian 562V Multimedia Controller is the ideal controller for use in a Meridian Digital Music System, or in conjunction with a Meridian 568 Digital Surround Processor. It combines high performance digital control with high-quality video routing in a single integrated unit.

It provides direct digital inputs for digital sources such as CD or DVD, together with precision Delta-Sigma Analogue-to-Digital Conversion for conventional analogue sources such as FM radio and video sound. It also provides video switching for both composite video and S-video sources, and video conversion from S-video to composite.

The optional 517 DAC Module provides precision Digital-to-Analogue Conversion for an analogue tape loop, or a second room system.

For instructions on setting up the unit turn to Setting up the multimedia controller, page 15. Once the multimedia controller has been set up refer to Using the multimedia controller, page 7, for information about getting the best results from all your audio and video sources.
