Setting up sources

The 541 Surround Controller provides six sources corresponding to the following source selection keys on the remote control:

CD, Radio, TV, Tape1 (or LP), VCR1, and LD.

When the surround controller is set to one of the standard settings the six sources are set up with standard labels and inputs, as shown in the table below.

Source	Audio	Sensitivity	Video	Preset
	Input		Input

CD	A2	2.0V	LV	Music
Radio	A3	2.0V	LV	Music
TV	A5	1.4V	V2	ProLogic
Tape1	A1	1.4V	LV	Music

For most settings there is a last valid, or L.V., option that leaves the corresponding setting unchanged from its previous value when the source is selected. For example, selecting CD after TV would leave the TV picture.

For each source you can configure:

❍The preset to be used.

❍The label used for it on the front panel display, from over 50 alternative labels.

❍The audio and video inputs it selects.

❍The input sensitivity.

❍The comms type and address, to identify other Meridian 500 Series equipment.

The procedure for doing this is as follows.

VCR1	A6	1.4V	V3	ProLogic
LDisc	A4	2.0V	V1	Cinema
LP	A1	2.0V	Blank	Music

If the configuration you want is not catered for by one of the standard settings, you can configure each source individually.
