Using DSP5000C

Basic operation of DSP5000C

Note DSP5000C is factory set for the most common installation, one using the full features of a Meridian 500-Series CD player and 565 Digital Surround Processor. For a Centre, we call this a Type 6 installation. For more details, see Appendix 1 on page 52.

Selecting sources

To switch from CD to another input, say Radio:

1. Press Radio

In Type 1, this will select RD on a Meridian 562/5.

The speaker displays

rd 65

Here rd means that the source is a radio tuner, and that the DSP5000C expects a Meridian 504 to be connected to the Radio input of the 562/5 and into the communications system. The 504 can now be controlled by the MSR, and its status can be displayed on the master DSP5000C. 65 is the volume number.

The other input keys on the MSR (e.g. LP, Tape 1, Video and Tape 2) operate in a similar way in Type 1:

The LP input of a Meridian 562 is engaged. The D1 input of the

DSP5000C is selected. The display shows

LP 65

The Tape 1 input of a Meridian 562 is engaged. The D1 input of the

DSP5000C is selected. The display shows

t1 65

Note These responses are for DSP5000Cs set up for Types 1 and 6, and can be changed. See later.

Selecting a source will bring DSP5000C out of Standby.

Note If you have stored a preferred tone setting for a source, you must recall it after switching to the source; recall settings by pressing Store.
