500 Mode digital speakers

Note If you operate the speakers in 500 mode, then all Meridian 500 Series products must be set to 500 mode and no 200 or 600 Series products can be used on the comms bus. See the instructions that came with each product. In general it will be necessary to select a Type in the same way as 562 and if in doubt choose Type 1.

Do the following:

1.Connect the phono plug on the end of the M-lead provided with the speakers to the main digital output of the 562.

2.Connect one of the two DIN plugs on one end of the M-lead to one of the COMMS sockets on the back of 562.

3.Setup the speakers according to the manual, selecting a Type that expects a preamplifier (like 562).

∙D6000 version 2.x start with Type 1.

∙DSP5000 version 2.x start with Type 1.

4.Set the 562 to Type 1 (see the instructions on page ??).

5.Set other 500 components to Type 1.

Note There are usually two DIN plugs on an M-lead. Take care to chose the correct one and do not force the plug. The second plug (if present) will not be used.

In 500 mode the following differences apply to 562.

∙You can control the complete system with the 509 or Meridian System Remote.

∙Volume control and mute are handled by the speakers.

∙Sources can be selected remotely via the loudspeakers or from the front panel of 562.

∙Muting and volume can be controlled from the front panel of 562.
