Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 800 issue with MSR+

Has anyone out there got any ideas on the follwing?

My 'new' 800, which sounds absolutely superb, will not respond to any movement controls from the MSR+.
It will respond N Controller to clear, it will switch on and off.
The display will change when display is pressed, but it will not start, stop, skip or respond to numbers.

I know I need the exercise but I'd rather not continue getting up and down.

Any thoughts gratefully accepted!

Hi Harry,

Here's a quick check list; have you:

-- Connected up a DIN C5 comms lead to it (sorry but I have to ask)?
-- Edited you M-config config and added the 800 into it?
-- Checked that the "comms type" is correct in M-config?
-- Typed it, and then downloaded this new M-Config in to it?

Then press "clear" when all is in standby to make sure on the your G68 is a controller.

Does the volume display on the 800 keep in sync when you change volume:
1) With the MSR+ 2) From G68?

Give me a call at home, if you wish, I'm in all day today.
But don't tell me the F1 race results, I'm about to watch a recording of it.

Regards,
Carl

Hi Carl,

I understand where you're coming from with the questions

Com cable - Yes
M Config - Yes and saved to the G68
Comms type ???? - I need to look
Typed the 800 as type zero.

I can't save the M-Config on the 800, it falls over on room correction data

I've not looked at the volume display on the 800 - I'll go and have a look.

The pleasures of M-Config - I've go and have a review!

Thanks for the advice!

Very odd! Are you trying to download the G68 setup to the 800?

In M-config, click on the 800 and then select download config.

BTW: What version of the 800 did you get?
And make sure if it is an 800D you use the 800D source in M-config and not 800.

Carl.

Hi Carl,

I believe it's a D.
It has HDMI output.
It says 800 on the front.
Is there somewhere where the D is specified?

Harry

OK - here's logic for you.

I'd been using the steps across the top of M-Config, rather than clicking on the 800 and store.
It fell over in exactly the same manner - did not receive OK,
Store not successful.
The 800 would then not read disks or works at all - exactly as last time.
Reset the 800 to type 0.

So I have followed the exact path as before.

And guess what!

It now works perfectly.

The pleasures of M-Config.

Thanks for your help Carl!

Enjoy the race!!!

Cool,

If a config load continues to fail try increasing the delay in M-config communication options as this can help.

800v3 Has 3*SPDIF SmartLink but no HDMI, so you must have a v4 spec or 800D.
800v4 Has HDMI and the back panel is made up of individual cards.
800D Same spec as v4 but the back panel is made up of just 2 large cards.

The serial number tells you what version the 800 was when built.
If is starts with a 4 you know it is an original v4 or 800D.

Pleased all is now well.

Regards,
Carl
