Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Meridian 808.4 Anv. with DSP7200 TYPE Question

Hi,
It just looks fantastic in black as well the 808.4 Anv.

Here is a small puzzel.
The DSP7200 manual says that TYPE setup should be:
Type Description
1 Standard setting for 2-channel system.
5 For use with a Meridian CD player (eg 808.2)
connected to the SpeakerLink input; all other
sources use the co-axial input.

So I turned off each DSP and pressed 5 on turned them back on.
Left DSP as Master Left RJ45 and Righet DSP as Slave RJ45.
Turned them off.
Pressed Clear on the MSR+ and gave a CD a try.
Left DSP showed Red and Yellow Light in the display and the right just Yellow. Woow Sinatra sounded 3D.

So I wanted to listen to the ID40 and Sooloos with the special ferrit Speakerlink cabel from Meridian (the ferrit core is placed nearest the switcher not the ID40 Card in the 808).

Strange pressed AUX - SLS came up in the display
BUT Left speaker was silent showing only Red light no Yellow, PCM NL and No sound. The Right DSP Showed Yellow and played sound.
Tried switching the cables.
Turning on the CD player again and everything was back to stereo and yellow lights.

Then I re-Typed to 1 and everything played in stereo both on SLS(AUX) and CD.

Go figure!
