Routing cables

Do not route the DSP5000C cables any nearer to TV or radio antenna cables than is necessary. Try to keep any excess cable lengths coiled up, as far from any tuner or television receiver as possible.

Where possible, use a dedicated AC power outlet for each DSP5000C. In any case, try not to use the same outlet group for any tuner or TV.

DSP5000C is a digital audio product, and its use involves distributing digital audio signals. This is a new field, and it is important to follow our instructions. Incorrect distribution of digital audio could lead to radio interference, noticeable errors, or unnecessarily reduced sound quality. Correct distribution will give you the best sound it is possible to have. You may be able to use the cables we supply.

AC connection

Before connecting any unit to the AC supply, check that it is adjusted to the correct voltage for your supply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT MAKE CONNECTIONS OR INSERT OR

REMOVE PLUGS WHILE THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE AC

SUPPLY AND SWITCHED ON.

1. Connect the unit to the AC power supply with the cord provided

∙Each DSP5000C should be connected to an approved AC outlet, using the cord provided

∙If at all possible, adapter or extension accessories should not be used, even if they are of an approved type

∙If a power-line filter is to be used, try to use a permanent type, and be sure that it is approved to the standards of your territory and that it retains the grounding

WARNING: DSP5000C must be grounded.

Connection using M5- and S5-leads

Many systems will require only the supplied composite M5- and S5-leads. If these are not appropriate, further information can be found in the section starting on page 43.

To get a CD player working with a pair of DSP5000Cs, proceed as follows:

1.Locate the cable marked with ‘S5’. This is a DIN + Phono to DIN + Phono lead, about 6m long.

2.Connect one DIN plug to the Comms Input socket and the accompanying phono plug to the D1 socket on the slave DSP5000C.

3.Connect the other end to the Comms Output socket and the D OUT socket of the master.

4.This completes the interconnection of a DSP5000C pair. Now:

5.Locate the cable marked with ‘M5’. This is a DIN + Phono to DIN + Phono lead, about 8m long.

6.Locate the end with the single DIN and phono plug. Connect this DIN plug to the Comms Input socket and the phono plug to the D1 socket on the master.

7.At the other end of this cable, locate the phono plug and connect it to the digital output of the CD player.

Note Getting this far should provide you with audio, and further connections will give you control of any Meridian products in your system. For connection of Meridian Comms, see page 43.
