Limitations of storing

Tilt and bass settings are stored by each source independently. Phase, axis and boundary settings are stored for all sources, and the last setting stored is that used for all sources.

Connecting DSP5000C

Four types of connection must be made to the DSP5000C:

∙power (see page 12)

∙digital audio (see page 42)

∙communications (see page 43)

∙RS232 to a computer (see page 45)

You will need to plan the connections with the installation you wish to achieve in mind. It is best to do this while deciding where to put the DSP5000C, as this decision may affect the positioning of the rest of your system, and the way in which you connect it. The decision as to which speaker should be master is also dependent on both positioning and connections.

The following sections will explain in detail the options open to you. Remember that your Meridian dealer is chosen for his expertise in this area. If in doubt, you can always refer to him.

Connectors

The connection sockets on the back panel of the DSP5000C, and their uses, are as follows:

∙Comms Output A DIN connector which is used to send information on to a DSP slave or to a 565 Digital Surround Decoder.

NEVER connect an audio DIN lead to this socket.

∙Comms Input A DIN connector which is used to exchange information with other Meridian components

NEVER connect an audio DIN lead to this socket.

∙D1 The first digital input, using a coaxial cable

∙D2 The second digital input, using a coaxial cable

∙D OUT A digital output which is selected by the DSP5000C to pass on a signal to the another DSP speaker. This means that a slave only needs one digital input connected.

∙AC The lower panel contains the power supply, and should already be adjusted for your local supply voltage – check the labelling. The panel contains a 3-pin IEC power inlet plug, with a power switch and integral fuse holder.

∙RS232 A standard serial connection for a computer

Where to put the master

The master has more connections made to it than the slave has, since it is the speaker which is directly connected to any other Meridian products in the system (for example, a 602, 603, or 607, or any Multiroom components). It is therefore sensible to put it closer than the slave to the sources, for the sake of tidiness. You should now be able to decide where the master will be, and whether it will be a left, right or centre speaker.
