Choosing standard settings

controller

The 541 Surround Controller provides seven alternative standard settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of the surround controller into the most commonly needed configurations.

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 unit.

For details of the different loudspeaker layouts see Sample configurations, page 3.

The Type you choose depends on the following aspects of your system:

❍The layout of loudspeakers in your system.

❍Whether you are using the earlier Meridian 200 Series units.

❍Whether you want to use a subwoofer for all presets, or just for the cinema presets.

The types are explained in the following table:
