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.
