Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems DSP5000 & Bluesound Node 2 problem

Hello Friends,

I would like to add that I also use a Node2i and for the price I must agree phenomenal. I use them coax into my 5200's and it sounds awesome! One of the best features of the Node is that it allows you to "learn" IR codes for various functions. Depending on which remote you are using, can be a one remote solution which is incredibly handy.

When I first got the speakers i used the original MSR and through the BluOS app I learned "1,2,3...etc" as well as Skip, Previous, Pause, Stop, Shuffle, Play, meaning I could come home and pick up the MSR, point it at the node and choose from 10 separate favs out the gate [could even shuffle if I wanted to!]. The only thing I didn't learn was the volume [obviously]. Now I have MSR+ so no more numbers, but still use all the transport commands and they work fantastically! I Have even learned the "Optical" input using the TV button on MSR so now I don't even use the app for that. Tidal connect and away we go, switching to TV is painless.

Do you mean the new wand style remote (MSR2")? If so, pressing the FN button and then the source buttons at the top will give you numbers. For instance, pressing FN and then CD is number one and so on.

Awesome tip! And yes, MSR2, black wand. This day gets better!

When I first picked up this remote, my thought was, how do you type a speaker with it? Then I read the instructions and it became clear. For me, I like the form factor but, like others I still prefer some of the features of the previous model.

Anything has to be better than lying on your back power-cycling a DSP8000 whilst waving an MSR+ in the general direction of the IR pick-up and trying to hold down the 0 key at the same time - not great ergonomics

Requires a pretty good wingspan 😁
