For details of making all con- nections, see Connecting 562, page 25.

Type, Config and Gain are used to make choices about the way 562 works. These are described later in the section: ‘Configuring 562, an overview' on page13.

Connections

There are three types of connection that need to be made to the 562:

∙analogue audio

∙digital audio

∙communications.

Audio connections need to be made to other components in your system. Communication connections have to be made to most of the other Meridian components in your system in order for them to act as one sys- tem. The connections to your 562 are very important and care should be taken in deciding which connections to make.

Connection details for a wide variety of systems are described in the sec- tions following page 25.

Siting

We recommend the following guidelines for location.

∙The 562 should not be placed on top of a power amplifier.

∙If you intend to use a moving coil LP input keep the left-hand-side of the 562 as far as possible from other mains-operated equipment. See help item on page 34.

∙Avoid sites where it would be subjected to direct sunlight or where it is near a heat source, e.g. a central heating radiator

∙Avoid sites where the 562 could be subjected to strong magnetic ra- diation, like near a power amplifier.

∙Not too close to a television, or where connecting cables may be sub- ject to, or cause, interference.

Tip In common with all digital products, the 562 emits some radio-fre- quency signals. For this reason, try to keep all power cables and network leads away from audio, antenna and loudspeaker cables. Some time spent laying out the cables carefully will repay you with the best possible performance later.
