Hi, I'm new to Meridian & need a little help please.

I currently have DSP5000s & DSP5000C connected to my 568.2 processor with a power amp & analogue surround speakers. I've downloaded the program needed to interact with the interface but am having trouble getting my laptop & 568.2 to talk to each other. I've changed all the settings so it's all ready to go once I'm able to upload the new settings to the processor.

From the 568.2 I have a RS232 (female) cable connected to a RS232 (male) connected which is then connected via USB to my laptop but for some reason it keeps coming up saying failed. I've tried all 4 COM options & even tried to do it manually but nothing worked. I've read the manual & according to that it should all be working fine.

I'm quite inexperienced with PCs so its probably a very simple solution that I just havent seen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Current System # 568.2, DSP5500 (24/96), DSP5500C (24/96), DSP33 rears, M1500 subwoofer
