Hi All,

As per my recent post, I acquired a large number of Meridian speakers and had to use some of them for parts. I have been using my two pairs of D6000s. One pair is a "franken D6000" which uses 5500 electronics so I could make it 24.96. I was using it in my TV room but then I decided to add it to my main room so I could use 4 D6000s. What a luxury in a five point one system!.

My friend and I just simply replaced the 5500 pair that we were using as sides with the franken D6000s so everything was already set up in the G68. I used the Meridian configuration program to replace the speakers and I sent it to the G68. On the left., Rear speaker works fine but the right rear speaker would not wake up and it shows as a master (because it was the master in the family room as a two channel set-up). It would not respond to the remote when it's in standby.

One of our members suggested that the problem was in the display so I removed the display from the 5500 and I placed it just temporarily but the same problem occurs so we can rule out the display. I also reflashed the firmware with the 5.40. My question: is there a way to access the speaker and wake it up through the RS232 port?

I noticed that this franken D6000s refused to be typed, but one of them did this time. I haven't tried connecting it directly to the G68 as a mains. Perhaps that will help.
