Customising 562, an overview

562 is a very sophisticated device with a huge number of options to allow you to set up exactly the system you need or to experiment with new possibilities.

Programming 562 is a straightforward process and you should not be timid about experimenting. Although the setup is stored in non-volatile memory called EEPROM, the EPROM (which you cannot change) contains default Type settings and you can return to these at any time.

Restoring default settings

1.Switch off any power amplifiers that are connected to 562.

2.Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.

3.While pressing the Off key on the 562 front panel, switch the power on again. The display will read:

The Type settings are describedTo use Config,in dseetailpageon page18.

Type 1

4.Release the Off key

At this stage you can change the Type from 1 – 6 using the ▲ and ▼ Volume keys; see details on page Error! Bookmark not defined..

5.Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.

6.After half a second, switch the 562 power on again.

Caution Some power amplifiers are very susceptible to small surges that may result from the process of switching a preamplifier on and off. Some

–like the Meridian 205 or 605 incorporate DC-offset protection that may be triggered by this process. Meridian active or digital loudspeakers are inherently proof against these surges and need not be switched off. In general digital products like power amplifiers, recorders etc. will be unpredictable when they have the digital signal interrupted.

562 has three setup options; Type, Config and Gain. These together with Normal and Standby give the 562 five operating states. The following sections give an overview.

Type: an overview

Type just described, restores one of the default settings. No further actions are possible.

Config: an overview

Config mode is used for setting fundamentals of options and control. Consequently in Config the outputs of 562 are muted while you make the necessary choices. The choices available in Config are outlined in the following sections.

Config: control settings

In Config you can make selections that effect the way 562 responds to certain keys. The main choices of this kind are:

∙whether you use 500 or 200 communications protocol in the system. See page ??.

∙whether the 562 is to auto-configure, or you will determine the controller in the system. See page 28.

∙The ‘address’ of the product.

∙whether or not there is an internal or external DAC fitted.

∙choices on how the volume control works.

∙how the product treats the handset ‘Menu’ keys
