Hi, I'm new to the Meridian scene and have recently purchased an MC200 & MS200. Like most people I guess, I spent the first few days after setting it up rifling through every band I'd ever heard of's Rhapsody/Napster back catalogue and listening to the amazing sounds coming from my QUAD pre amp/amp & ESL63 setup.

Everything was working fine through my iPad and then I decided to add some CDs onto the MC200. I installed the Control:PC and started to follow instructions.

I was amazed how poor the response rate was in loading and sometimes the inability of my PC to actually find the source. I began to wonder if there was some sort of networking problem as I also began to experience a 'screen refresh' on the the Control:PC which promptly lost whatever I was doing e.g. playing or trying to import CDs from my PC and retuned me back to the opening screen.

I then tried to import music from one of my NAS drives. (By this time I'd found the workaround in the thread read that suggested playing music via the Control:PC before you start importing which improved matters greatly but not completely as the dreaded 'refresh' continues to occur.

So far I have had zero success with importing directly from the NAS drive. The system hangs on 0% import and then either the screen refreshes or simply crashes the Control:PC software.

I've also occasionally noticed a little pop up message in the bottom RHS corner of my screen saying something like 'network conflict error'. This reminded of of problems I used to have with my previous SONOS system which invariably were fixed by changing the SONOS 'Channel' number.

In summary then:

1. Is there a way of changing the MC200 channel number - I've had a quick look at the Sooloos Configuration file but am not sure which element to change (and to what number) as both the system and product address is currently 1?

2. Any ideas on why I cannot import direct from my NAS drives?

3. And finally, anyone get any more ideas on the intermittent screen refresh problem?

Apologies for a bit of a long first post!
