How to customise 562

562 needs no customising to become operational. Once you have your system established you may wish to review the customising options in the section ‘Customising 562, an overview', page13.

Although the 562 comes configured as a standard digital + analogue – digital preamplifier, there are a very large number of different configurations possible. This section tells you how to change the configuration.

Customising, general procedure

562 has five operating modes (not to be confused with setup Types):

∙Normal

∙Standby

∙Type

∙Config

∙Gain

Normal and Standby are the everyday operating modes: the basic operating instructions refer to these.

Type, Config and Gain are used to make choices about the way 562 works. These are described in the section: ‘Configuring 562, an overview' on page 13.

How to change to Type, Config or Gain

To change to Type, Config or Gain you use the same basic procedure.

1.Switch off any power amplifiers that are connected to 562.

2.Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.

3.While pressing the specific key for the operating mode you want on the 562 front panel, switch the power on again.

562 will display a message to inform you which mode it is in.

4.Release the key

At this stage you can make the adjustments required.

In step 3, the front panel key is:

∙Type – press and hold Off.

∙Config – press and hold Display.

∙Gain – press and hold Mute.

∙Normal – do not use any key!

Caution Some power amplifiers are very susceptible to small surges that may result from the process of switching a preamplifier on and off. Some

–like the Meridian 205 or 605 incorporate DC-offset protection that may be triggered by this process. Meridian active or digital loudspeakers are inherently proof against these surges and need not be switched off. In general digital products like power amplifiers, recorders etc. will be unpredictable when they have the digital signal interrupted.

How to change back to Normal

To revert to Normal .

1.Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.

2.After half a second, switch the 562 power on again.
