Introduction

The Meridian 541 Surround Controller is unique in providing high quality surround-sound processing in an audio-visual remote-control preamplifier.

The surround processing provides a range of modes both for home cinema and music, making the 541 ideal as the heart of a general-purpose hi-fi system. The 541 also has all the features of a high-performance audiovisual controller. It provides six analogue inputs, together with three video inputs for home cinema switching. All the features are highly customisable, with a simple menu interface and on-screen help for setup and calibration.

To get the superb results you should expect from the 541 it is important that you spend some time setting it up correctly with your system, and this guide is designed to help you do this as simply as possible.

For instructions on setting up the unit turn to Setting up the surround controller, page 27. Once the surround controller has been set up refer to the next chapter, Using the surround controller, for information about getting the best results from all your music and film recordings.
