Using the DSP loudspeakers as a control unit

In systems with a Meridian preamplifier or control unit all of the functions of the DSP loudspeakers, including volume, treble, and bass, are operated via the controller. For more information refer to the user guide for the preamplifier or control unit, and you can ignore this chapter.

The DSP loudspeakers can also be connected directly to up to two digital sources to create a complete, minimum system. This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for operating the DSP loudspeakers in a system with no Meridian preamplifier or control unit.

Switching on and selecting a source

When not playing, the DSP loudspeakers should be left in the standby state. This uses a negligible amount of electricity, but ensures that the components of the loudspeakers operate at maximum efficiency from the moment you start.

If you are not going to use the DSP loudspeakers for several days you should switch each unit completely off at the back panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.

To select a source

• Press the appropriate source key on the remote; eg Radio.

This will bring the DSP loudspeakers out of standby, and the displays will show the currently selected source and volume setting.

For example:

By default the 12 sources are available.

As standard, all the sources are set to select the D1 digital input.

To switch to standby

 

• Press Off on the remote.
