Introduction
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 User Guide explains how to operate the digital surround processor to
give the best results from your music and cinema sources.
For information about installing and setting up the digital surround
processor refer to the accompanying Meridian 565 Digital Surround
Processor Installation Guide.
