Installation 8

∙hex wrench (3mm), for drive units

If any of these items is missing, please contact your dealer. We suggest that you retain the packing carefully, as it provides maximum protection for the unit in transit.

NOTE Take great care when unpacking or re-packing the DSP5000 that you do not put undue pressure on the front, as the drive units may be damaged if pressed.

Fitting the feet

It is easiest to fit the feet with the speakers upside down, before removing the inner carton or foam packing. Each DSP5000 needs four feet, fitted as follows:

1.Find the eight screw-in spikes, and the lock nuts, foot caps and wrench provided.

2.Fit a lock nut to each spike, about 2mm away from the end of its thread. If a foot is required rather than a spike, fit a foot cap. Screw each foot into the threads on the bottom of the base units. Do not fully tighten the foot at this stage.

3.When all four feet have been fitted, carefully set the DSP5000s upright in their playing positions.

4.Remove the rest of the packaging.

Meridian System Remote (MSR)

The MSR uses infra-red transmission to operate the DSP5000. It uses a PP3 battery (supplied but not installed).

When a key is pressed, an indicating light shows in the window of the MSR. This light becomes inconsistent or weak when the battery needs changing. Normally the battery will last for up to a year, but we recommend that you change the battery routinely every six months, since there are no front-panel controls on the DSP5000 and the system therefore cannot be used without a working handset.

The MSR is supplied with its own user guide. This explains many details of operation and also how to fit and change batteries.

The MSR is suitable for DSP5000 fitted with control EPROM version 2.2 or later. (See page 16). If you want to use MSR with an earlier version of DSP5000 (EPROM version 1.x) or with any 200-Series components in the system, then the MSR needs to be configured to Option 3 – see the MSR User Guide and the DSP5000s have to be set to type 2 – see page 32.

To check the MSR, press any key and look for the flashing yellow light.

Note Good-quality alkaline batteries last longer than other sorts of battery, and we advise you to use one in your MSR.

Note Do not store the unit where it may get too hot.

Note Do not store the unit face down, or rest objects (e.g. magazines) on top of it. Doing so could cause one of the keys to be left pressed down, which would considerably shorten the life of the battery.

Note Do not allow the MSR to become wet. If drinks are accidentally spilt on it, remove the battery and let the MSR dry out. If necessary consult your dealer.
