Good evening,

I have a problem with my 861, HD621 and 598.

By having MMHR active, I get an incoherent sound, I think on 2 channels.
I set the 598 to type 1 then 3, I made all the settings to have 96khz bitstream, I output my 598 via the 3 RCA digital on 861 in MD1.

I have the same problem on my DENON DVD A1 UD HDMI player on by HDMI then HD621 then 861 in MD2.

Could it be my 861 digital input card that needs to be configured?

Could someone help me?
Sincerely

Yes it can be that they were used as normal single digital inputs which means they need to be configured for MD1 and MD2.
It can also be that the wrong output is connected to the input on the 861, with that I mean for example the centre and sub channel to the connection of the fronts.

Thank you for your answer, on Meridian config I enter MD1 and MD2, but it also appears D1 to D6, how do we configure the card only in MD1 and MD2?

Good morning,
I would also like to know if I exit the 598 via the 3 RCA, in the setup, should I select MHR or not?
Thank you for your response.
Sincerely

I think you just need to select MD1 as your connection in the Meridian config tool when you set up the connection from the 598 to the 861.

Yes, use MHR.

Good morning
To have the multi-channel MHR output, must it be output in bistream or lpcm?

LPCM. Bitstream will send DD undecoded on channel 1/2.

The 598 manual specifies that you must put in the bitstream MHR outputs connected to a 568 or 861 to have multichannel.
I don't understand this.

I would advice LPCM and MHR turned on.

I cannot find that in the manual on this side so maybe use that.

i have such a problem - no sound from central channel from time to time.
i think there is some problem with lpcm output from ATV4K or HDMI handshaking with HD621.
after some manipulation all is ok, but after HDMI cables reconnection the problem comes back.
i have no algoritm to fix this bug. sometimes changing MD1 to MD2 helps, sometimes HDMI extractor on/off helps.
