Choosing a standard setting

Unless you are using a pair of 3100 loudspeakers in a 2-channel system, you will need to configure them as described in this section.

The DSP loudspeakers provide the following five alternative standard settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of the DSP loudspeakers into the most commonly needed configurations:

Type Description

1Selects D1 for all sources. For use with a stereo system; eg a CD or DVD player such as the G08 or G91.

5For use with a CD player connected to D1; all other sources use D2.

6For use with a Meridian Surround Controller.

7For use in a second room.

8For use in the second or third room of a three-room system.

Types 2, 3, and 4 are for compatibility with 200/600 series units.

In all cases except Type 5, the D1 input is used for all sources.

Choosing one of the standard settings overrides any other configuration you may have performed, and so can be used to reset the configuration of the speakers.

To select a standard setting

•Switch off the DSP loudspeaker.

•Turn on the power again while holding down the key on the remote corresponding to the Type you want to use.

The display will show the Type number. For example:

• Release the remote key. The display shows:

Type 1

L.

•Press A or V to specify the speaker position from the following options: L.: Left ,R.: Right, C.: Centre, S.L.: Left surround, S.R: Right surround.

You should then select one loudspeaker to be the master; this will normally be the centre channel. Each other 3100 loudspeaker should be configured as a slave as follows.

• Press the green > (Play) key on the remote.
