I've asked this before, but I don't think I received an answer...

With a Trinnov Altitude 32 or CI, what are the recommended settings for the Meridian 271 & DSPs?

If I connect the Trinnov & Meridian with a DB25 digital cable, and the Trinnov is set to output 'AES' to all of my 7.0.4 channels (I have no sub yet, the DSP8000SE-Upgrades will have to do... wink ) is there anything else that needs to be configured?

Master Front (L or R or L + R) RJ45 connected to the 'Master' row as on an 861, and all the other channels (3 = Centre, 5&6 = Surround L&R, 7&8 = Surround Rear L&R, 9&10 = Front Ceiling L&R, 11&12 = Rear Ceiling L&R) all connected to the Slave row?

Which input should be set as default?
Which volume is recommended at start-up?

And is it possible to control the volume through the 271 / DSPs with the Meridian Remote or App, and not through the Trinnov?

Any experiences or lessons-learned would be gratefully received - thanks !
