T
he Meridian 565 Digital Surround Processor is unique in being the first
completely digital surround-sound processor, and it defines the standard
for both music and cinema performance. To achieve this we have
combined the latest techniques in high-precision analogue electronics and
digital signal processing with a careful analysis of all types of recorded
music. The result is a system that produces impressively realistic and
exciting reproduction of music and cinema sound with support for all the
current two-channel and multi-channel audio formats. These include PCM,
Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, and MPEG, as well as support for several
proprietary processing modes. MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) format is
also available as an optional extra.
This Installation Guide explains how to set up the digital surround
processor to give the best results with a wide variety of different system
configurations. Once you have set up the 565, or if it has been set up for
you by your dealer, refer to the Meridian 565 Digital Surround Processor
User Guide for information about using the 565, and getting superb results
from all your music and cinema recordings.
