Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Adding speakers to a "stereo" system?

OK...we finally got the room back in working order.

I set the speakers back up, got all three speakers set as type 6 (For use with a Meridian Surround Controller) with the Master as Left mains, slave as right mains and the DSP5000 as Center Slave. I hooked everything up per the diagram above in the post. I hooked up the Revivers, reset (Cleared) the G68 for the Master, got the handshake and then connected the slaves. Then I went through the Wizard to set up system for the new speaker.

The Left & Right Mains are configured as Large DSP, subs not there, Center as Large DSP, with no surrounds.

I have the center configured for "always" (initially it was set for "movies")...then went through the calibration to set levels. I get the calibration signal through all 3 speakers, set SPL's and went to the satellite input after it was done. I have left & right mains sound, but nothing from the center. I cycled through all the DSP settings to see if it was something there and had no improvement.

I tried a different input (Bluray DVD) and it's exactly the same. Stereo is fine, but the center is silent as the grave.

I went into the Meridian Config Program to look at what is on the G68 currently. When I select the G68, right click for "Properties" and go to the "Types" tab it shows the system is in Type zero (7.1 All analogue, Movie Sub) as "In use".

Shouldn't it be in type 4 (7.1 DSP LRC Movie, An Sub)?

So...the good news is everything works (sorta). I just need some help understanding what is going strange here. The Revivers were an EASY installation...literally plug & play.

Can't say enough about how easy they made it to switch over to CAT6 cabling to feed the speakers. No more cables under the carpet...the wife is pleased, which is probably the most important thing.

Any ideas of what's going on? Or pointers as to how this needs to be done? I have ALL the manuals that came with the system...and have read through them all until my brain nearly burst a blood vessel. They sure didn't make it easy for us...a EE degree is almost required to decipher this stuff.

Edit: Just looked through the DSP User Guide again...Step one shows the options. Do I need to set the compatibility to "G" instead of "500" because of the DSP5000? (Although it won't give me the "G" option on the DSP7000's)...
