G65 Digital Surround Controller
In a system of Meridian products the products should
be linked together in a chain, via the COMMS sockets,
using the Comms leads supplied with each product.
The sequence in which you connect the units is not
important.
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:
Switch all the units to standby.
Press Clear (MSR+).
Each unit will display:
!UTO
One unit will then be designated as the controller, and
display:
#ONTROLLER
•
•
All the other units will be configured as non-controllers,
and display:
.OT#ONTROLLER
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 Settings , page 52. Either
all products should be set to Auto, or one should
be configured as Controller and the others as Not
Controller.
Note: Do not, under any circumstances, connect any
equipment other than Meridian G Series or 800 Series
to any socket marked COMMS on the back of the
product.
