Available accessories
The following accessories are available from your dealer.
Meridian 511 S-patch Box
Provides a convenient way to interconnect the S leads between
up to eight Meridian DSP digital loudspeakers. It is required if
your 568.2 system includes more than two DSP loudspeakers.
Meridian 513 Smart Link patch box
Connects a Smart Link SVGA lead to three phono leads,
allowing the 568.2 to be connected to a Meridian 800 Reference
DVD/CD Player.
Meridian 519 Demodulator
To take advantage of Dolby Digital on LaserDisc you need the
Meridian 519 Demodulator, which converts the LaserDisc
RF output to a bitstream which can be fed to the 568.2. The
519 Demodulator automatically senses the presence of a Dolby
Digital signal, and can select the LaserDisc PCM or DTS digital
audio output when no Dolby Digital signal is available.
Fan kit
A Fan kit is available for the 568.2 to provide additional
ventilation if the unit is installed in an enclosed space.
The fan can be programmed using the Meridian Configuration
program so that it either runs when the 568.2 is out of standby,
or when the temperature rises above the recommended level.
Rack mount kit
The Meridian 500 Shelf is a tray produced by Middle Atlantic
Products which will allow the 568.2, or any other 500 Series unit,
to be fitted in a standard 19" rack. For more information please
contact Middle Atlantic Products, Inc., Riverdale, NJ 07457,
USA, [phone]-1011, or their local distributor.
