The 562 Digital Control Unit is the ideal control unit for use with
the digital surround processor for a complete multimedia
system.
It provides direct digital inputs for digital sources, such as the
586 DVD Player and LaserDisc sound, together with precision
Delta-Sigma analogue-to-digital conversion, for conventional
analogue sources such as the 504 FM Tuner or video sound. It
also includes video switching for composite and S-VHS signals,
such as from a satellite receiver, LaserDisc player, or video
recorder.

The digital surround processor can be upgraded to provide fully
digital decoding of 5.1 channel AC-3 sources, to give the
highest-possible sound quality available, combined with
comprehensive support for the flexible AC-3 decoding options
and user features.
The Meridian 519 Demodulator converts the AC-3 signal
provided on the RF LaserDisc output, and provides an optical
output to connect to the digital surround processor. When no
AC-3 signal is present it passes the LaserDisc optical output
directly to the 565.
The 565 automatically selects an AC-3 preset when an AC-3
signal is present.
