G68 Digital Surround Controller
In a system of Meridian products, one of the products acts as
the controller for the system, receiving infra-red commands from
the MSR+, and then, if appropriate, relaying them to the other
products via the Comms link.
The following procedure should be used to set up the Comms
correctly between several products:
• Connect one of the DIN COMMS sockets on the back panel of
the digital surround controller to one of the COMMS sockets
on another G Series, 500 Series, or 800 Series unit, using the
Comms leads provided with the products.
The sequence in which you connect the units is not important.
• Switch all the units to standby.
• Press Clear (MSR+).
Each unit will display:
Auto
One unit will then be designated as the controller, and display:
Con.
All the other units will be configured as non-controllers, and
display:
Not Con.
The system is now ready for use.
If the automatic setup does not work, first make sure you are
operating the MSR+ from a position where all the units can receive
the infra-red, and try again. Then:
• Check that none of the units have been configured to be IR
Controller; see Configuring other settings , page 32. Either all
products should be set to Auto, or one should be configured as
Controller and the others as Not Controller.
