If you have DSP5000s or D6000s with software version 2.0 or greater, then move to the following section, ‘500 mode digital speakers’ and follow the instructions for D5000.

200 Mode digital speakers

Note If you operate the speakers in 200 mode, then all Meridian 500 Series products must be set to 200 mode. See the instructions that came with each product. In general it will be necessary to select a Type in the same way as 562 and if in doubt choose Type 2.

Do the following:

1.Connect the phono plug on the end of the M-lead provided with the speakers to the main digital output of the 562.

2.Connect one of the two DIN plugs on one end of the M-lead to one of the COMMS sockets on the back of 562.

3.Setup the speakers according to the manual, selecting a Type that expects a preamplifier (like 201).

∙D600 start with Type ??.

∙D6000 version 1.x start with Type ??.

∙DSP5000 version 1.x start with Type ??.

∙D6000 version 2.x start with Type 2.

∙DSP5000 version 2.x start with Type 2.

4.Set the 562 to Type 2 (see the instructions on page ??.

5.Set other 500 components to Type 2.

Note There are usually two DIN plugs on an M-lead. Take care to chose the correct one and do not force the plug. The second plug is used to connect to any 200 Series products in the range.
