Remote not working

Check the following:

The battery in the MSR+.

Remove the Comms connections from the G61 and check whether it responds now. If so, replace the connections and perform an Auto Configure procedure; see To connect to other Meridian G Series, 500 Series, or 800 Series equipment, page 14.

See if the G61 has been set up as Not Controller in the Configuration Menu; see Configuring other settings, page 22. Note: This may be deliberate by your dealer.

When playing a Dolby Digital DVD, the G61 selects a two- channel preset

DVDs include a two-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack, which will use the default two-channel preset.

• Select a six-channel soundtrack, if it is available.

Unit is overheating

Check that there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

Audio problems

Hum on analogue input

Check the source equipment. Disconnect each source in turn.

If the hum originates from a ground loop, an antenna or cable supply may be the cause. In this case an antenna-lead isolator should be fitted.

If the G61 seems to be the cause of hum consult your dealer.

There is radio interference

The G61 is a digital audio and computing device which has been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

If this equipment does cause or suffer from interference to/from radio or television reception then the following measures should be tried:

Reorient the receiving aerial (or antenna) or route the antenna cable of the receiver as far as possible from the G61 and its cabling.

Ensure that the receiver uses well-screened antenna cable.

Relocate the receiver with respect to the G61.

Connect the receiver and this product to different AC outlets.

If the problem persists contact your dealer.
