In a system of Meridian products the products should be linked together in a chain, via the COMMS sockets, using the Comms leads supplied with each product. The sequence in which you connect the units is not important.

One of the products acts as the controller for the system, receiving infra-red commands from the MSR+, and then, if appropriate, relaying them to the other products via the Comms link. The following procedure should be used to set up the Comms correctly between several products:

Switch all the units to standby.

Press Clear (MSR+).

Each unit will display:

All the other units will be configured as non-controllers, and display:

Not Con.

The system is now ready for use.

If the automatic setup does not work, first make sure you are operating the MSR+ from a position where all the units can receive the infra-red, and try again. Then:

Check that none of the units have been configured to be IR Controller; see Configuring other settings, page 22. Either all products should be set to Auto, or one should be configured as Controller and the others as Not Controller.

Auto

One unit will then be designated as the controller, and display:

Note: Do not, under any circumstances, connect any equipment other than Meridian G Series, 500 Series, or 800 Series to any socket marked COMMS on the back of the product.
