Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Help PLEASE...Again

Hello,

I'm trying to set up:

565 Processor / 500 CD / 2 D6000's / 1 DSP5000c / Velodyne DD-18 Sub

Just to play music

I've read manual / can't get system to work except with JUST 500 CD connected to Master & daisy chaining Center and Right

Now I have Center and Right set as Master and they won't change / etc. etc.

Does anyone know the right connections for the above step by step? I would really appreciate it as if I can get the 3 speakers & Sub working in Trifield, I'm sure it will sound great.

Currently, the speakers are not responding to retyping / I get ZERO sound / 565 displays Trifield / I have 565 going Digital out to digital in on Center / Sub going to #4 on 565 / Left & right tried Digital out to in on speakers and connected to #'s 1 & 2 on 565 (both ways) / I set the 565 to .5 as instructed / can't find the " max" setting as manual states / am using only the CD with no video connections or settings / have the 500 CD connected via the Comms, short connector wire one end in each Comms on 565 & CD

I do have the Center and Right set as Masters, but neither do anything when I turn off and try to reset?

I know this should be EASY, but I guess I'm getting older and NOT wiser:-(

You will need to delve into the 565 manual. Start by setting a "TYPE". Choose a type that most closely matches your setup from the manual.
This will give you sound and is a start point for your own bespoke setup.
Meridian is not plug and play, you have to role your sleeves up, but its worth it and it will sound great.

Good luck, Chris

You should only have one master use the centre. All others as slaves. Comms from 565 to centre (M) then onto left across to right and from right to sub (all S).

Digital feed from 565 1&2 to left and from left to right

Digital feed from 565 3&4 to centre and on to sub.

Set 565 to Type 3

Should get sound.

It's not a Meridian sub though.
So you need; a phono and C5 lead from the 500 to 565,
A phono and M5 from 3&4 on the 565 to your DSP5K,
A phono from 1&2 to one of your D6Ks and a S5 from the DSP5K,
A phono & S5 from that D6K to the other one,
A phono from the analogue subwoofer output to the Velodyne.

Missed the fact that the sub was not Meridian

You will probably have to set the 565 to Type 4 then.

Ok... thanks much. I'll try your instructions.

It is indeed fairly complicated

It is simple once you get to do it and understand things, good luck. Chris

Anyone know why I can't retype my speakers individually by turning off / turn back on holding type number / using arrow keys to select R / L / C master?

Have you disconnected coms leads whilst doing this? Just a thought. Chris

When you power back on, you are pressing just the type number and pointing it dextrously at the front of the speaker so that IR signal is picked up? Only when powered up do you start pressing arrow keys.

Don't worry about comms, it doesn't matter that they are still plugged in.

However, just a thought, you also have D6000's not DSP6000's. I don't know if these are the same as what you need to do the the DSP5000.

Hey Chris,

Yes, I was turning on and holding Type key on remote simultaneously (long arms). I thought that was the correct way.....thanks

Ian,

Thanks for the "tutorial", which is much appreciated
