Audio connections

The following table gives details of the two alternative audio outputs:

Use this output	To connect to this
DIGITAL OUT	A surround processor such as the
	Meridian 565 Digital Surround
	Processor, a digital preamplifier such
	as the Meridian 562V, or Meridian DSP
	loudspeakers.
ANALOGUE OUT	A television, analogue preamplifier
	such as the Meridian 502, or an
	analogue surround processor such as
	the Meridian 541 Surround Controller.

The digital connections should be made with high quality 75Ω screened cable. Suitable cables are available from Meridian. We do not recommend using audio cables which do not have adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables intended for UHF applications, as these do not provide adequate shielding in the 1–30MHz region.

The analogue connections should be made using high-quality screened cable, taking care to connect the left and right channels correctly.

Communications connections

The following table gives details of the communications connections:

Use this connection	To connect to this
COMMS	Other Meridian 500 series
	equipment, or Meridian DSP
	loudspeakers.
RS232 connection	For future expansion, to allow
	the 586 to be interfaced to a
	computer. Contact your dealer
	for more information.
