Hi Bruce, Rick,
Thank you for your replies. I still have the same problems unfortunately.
Pressing "Clear" in front of the master speaker, shows briefly "Auto" then "Con." Interestingly enough, the other speaker does not show "N. Con".
And, correct, I have no Center speaker in the system at the moment, the first speaker is the master (red led), the daisy chained speaker is the slave (yellow dot only).
In addition to my description of the problem, i.e. Master is not playing, slave plays, there are a few other weird things happening. When I switch the speakers on with MSR+, both speakers come on with "SLS 65" in the display. The slave starts playing, but the master cycles down; it goes through "Meridian" and "5200SE" and then shows the red led and a green dot. It basically switches itself off. Subsequently when I type a command on the remote, for example change volume, the slave responds very sluggishly.
What standard setting Type should the speakers be? I have Type 1 for 2-channel systems? Is this correct?
I have also gone through configuring the speaker (I.e. switching on while pressing 0), but all settings seem to be correct. I've even gone through configuring the sources and would like to confirm that Comms Type should be 4C?
Anyway, any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.
Jan
