COMMS

COMMS LEAD

In a system of Meridian products, one of the products acts as the controller for the system, receiving infra-red commands from the MSR+, and then, if appropriate, relaying them to the other products via the Comms link.

The following procedure should be used to set up the Comms correctly between several products:

•Connect one of the DIN COMMS sockets on the back panel of the digital surround controller to one of the COMMS sockets on another G Series, 500 Series, or 800 Series unit, using the Comms leads provided with the products.

The sequence in which you connect the units is not important.

•Switch all the units to standby.

•Press Clear (MSR+).

Each unit will display:

Auto

COMMS

COMMS LEAD

One unit will then be designated as the controller, and display:

Con.

All the other units will be configured as non-controllers, and display:

Not Con.

The system is now ready for use.

If the automatic setup does not work, first make sure you are operating the MSR+ from a position where all the units can receive the infra-red, and try again. Then:

•Check that none of the units have been configured to be IR Controller; see Configuring other settings, page 32. Either all products should be set to Auto, or one should be configured as Controller and the others as Not Controller.
