I have just received my DSP7200 speakers. I am waiting to receive my 818 and MD600.
I would love to hear something from them this evening as you can imagine!

The speakers have no instruction manual and have come with 2 power cables and nothing else, as far as I can see.

I have lots of network cables and USB to SPDIF cable.

I have been scouring the internet without success.
Any suggestions as to how to get something simple up and running?
Can I configure these speakers from my PC?

Many thanks in advance

Slim

You need a MSR.

Look on the Meridian Audio website, support, the manual is on there.

Enjoy! You must be chuffed.

MSR?

Yes - really chuffed. They look amazing and weigh a literal ton!

Meridian System remote. With this you can Type the speakers to work with an SPDIF input.
You will need to STUDY the manual.
Good luck... Not envious at all.... Chris smile

Ok - only problem is that I have only received the speakers. No MSR with just the speakers!

I would spend my time in the manuals... plenty to learn there.

Good luck... Chris smile

I've had quite a good look at the manuals.
I really need to know if I can configure the speakers without a Meridian remote.
If i can't, then I guess that I am stumped!

They will be already at a type, but I don't know which, so perhaps an input applied will reveal sound? Volume control may be an issue, Chris smile

Great that you have RTFM... do that a few more times... really.

No, without an MSR you cannot get those speakers to play ball.

Depending on when the rest of your kit arrives and whether you bought from a dealer, I would see if you can get a loan MSR for the time being.

Oh, and read the manuals again... did anyone mention that wink ?


Rgds,

Without anyway of controlling the speakers, unless you can ponce a piece of Meridian kit from someone and/or make up your own serial/SpeakerLink dongle, I'm afraid you are stumped until your other bits arrive.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I'm going to have to sit it out.
Does anyone know what exactly should come with a complete set of DSP7200's?
