Just a quick one really.
All the literature suggests I have to have a 511 patch box to hook the comms up coming from a 568.2mm.
However, I just can't get my head round why I can't go into the front left speaker as master, then slave to centre, slave again to front right, then slave again to rear right and then once more to rear left.
What am I missing??

missing nothing....just split the SPDIF and comms leads and route them as you mention above. Works fine. SPDIF routes in pairs of course.

I'm all analogue speaker-wise at the moment and I'm trying to work toward a DSP front three, starting with a lone centre if I can get one at the right price. I was trying to work out the answer to this same issue if and when I got the front pair to follow. Can I get away without the patch box then? I must admit to being scared of going DSP. I've never even dared attempt to upgrade firmware or use Meridian Config !

This is the answer from a previous posting. I cut and pasted it into a file on my computer so don't now know who wrote it. VK perhaps?
Master cable (comms + audio) from 568.2MM to Master speaker (usually, but not always, the centre)
Slave cable (comms only) from Master speaker to left main (say).
Master cable (audio only) from 568.2MM to left main.
Slave cable (comms + audio) from left main to right main.

@jobseeker
There are just a few principles to get your head around and beyond that it's common sense and this forum to get you up the learning curve. RTFM often helps but some key pieces of info don't always jump out at you.
Rgds,
Nick

[quote=jobseeker I must admit to being scared of going DSP. I've never even dared attempt to upgrade firmware or use Meridian Config ! [/quote] I was the same. I have had a 561 for years, but was using it with analog speakers. Recently bought a 861 and some DSP33s, so I downloaded MConfig (on a MacBook using Parallels no less) and set up three of the speakers in my living room (the media room is under construction). Took me a couple hours one Sunday, but really no problem. MConfig pretty much gave me a layout and how to run the cables and I ended up daisy chaining the comms. So come on in, the water's fine
Main system (when room is done): 861v4, 7 x DSP33, SW1600, Oppo, Sonos
