The thing is, you either change the M500 comms protocol (which might have been a good idea with the move to SpeakerLink) to support on-the-fly source labels OR create custom firmware for every speaker with the labels in it.
I would suggest that giving dealers a tool to modify and validate new firmware would be the best course of action - you will get your source names on your speakers but you will have to interact with your dealer first. For everyone else the defaults will have to suffice.

I would have no problem interacting with a dealership in order to get a custom firmware of this nature. I've also suggested before that if this kind of thing were possible, some kind of personalised room correction could be measured in room and uploaded to your own DSPs for a nominal fee...?

My 5200SLs running the latest firmware have the following. I happen to have copied them in order to work out what's best for me".
In typical M style, "Cable" occurs twice in the sequence. Someone must have been napping... And even more typical BRay, BR, and Blray occur -0- times.

This is a good point, and in fact with a list that long if the sources were less redundant and more up to date, we probably wouldn't need custom labels?
E.g. 78rpm, on a digital system? OK Disc or TT but why specify 78rpm and a bunch of C* inputs, two VCR inputs, etc., and not Bluray, Mac, iPod, PS3, etc...? Just odd...

To be fair DVDA didn't make it either, which speaks to the age of the list, save the addition of SLS.

Mine would currently be SLS, Music, BD, (or Blu, however it would be spelt), DVD, Sat, TV, PC/ Mac (or USB). What I could see being useful in general might be iPod/ iPad, Stream, CD, Game 1, Game 2, HDD, iRadio, DAB, Radio...

Keep in mind for at least the early [seven segment] DSP5000, DSP5500 and DSP6000 loudspeakers, an abbreviation cannot exceed two letters.

I have 5Ks which show at least 3 characters- e.g., SLS, DVD, but they are 'smiley faces' which I guess have 8 segment displays? Can the 7 seg ones only show 2 characters?

The seven segment displays only show two characters. This may include the DSP7000 as well.

Understood. Not sure about the 7Ks, the datasheet says an 8 character display...

Someone should organise a poll to find out what the highest priorities are. I don't see why it can't be like all the �149 receivers out there and let you label them yourself when you load the firmware up?
No Darling, I've had it months!
