Hi John and thanks again for taking this on yet again.
Any news on future plans for 861 ( I know they dont like to tip their plans but there must be something due re: HDMI for example or even Version 5 and Bluray/Hd-DVD )?

Hi John
When will v2.5 beta firmware for the 568.2 be confirmed as "official" rather than beta?
Thanks John!
Cheers
George

Any chance of outputting 480i/576i on HDMI for those who would prefer to do their deinterlacicing elsewhere?
Failing that, as their new owner?/partner?, are they working on improving Faroudja's deinterlacing in light of the competition's better alternative? I wouldn't imagine that they would be willing to source from what is now their competition. Shame.
And if the answer is yes to any of the above, will any of this be made available to owners of current M gear or only in new products?

Any chance of a firmware upgrade on G98 to allow other custom output resolutions from the scaler?

Top man Malcolm!
Mind you, my concerns are getting a reliable HDMI link with my Loewe TV than getting the absolute best quality output.
My questions would be:
Other than than external HDMI switch and extenders, what are Meridians plans for existing customers regarding HDMI integration into existing kit, ie G68, G9x. Are there for example, plans to have HDMI input or are the HDMI capabilities of the G9x solely destined to be as an HDMI source rather than an HDMI switch with audio routing to the G68.

John,
My mains and centre go down to 35Hz. My surrounds go down to 80Hz. Adding the ability to set different sub crossovers for my main, center and surround and rears would allow much more flexible integration.
Thanks,
Joel

Me to: My mains and centre go down to 35Hz. My surrounds go down to 80Hz. Adding the ability to set different sub crossovers for my main, center and surround and rears would allow much more flexible integration. This will not be problem free, but the G68 "knows" all distances(time delay) & relative spl for every speaker in the system so...? btw sub integration is very good on the G68 anyway. A MSR+ that could control SONY projektors & Force set top boxes (satelite/cable etc) Simply a remote that can controll more stuff. Some sort of "network" for the config program so you don't have to move cables around. Would it not be possible to use the com cables that exist between all Meridian product's ? (SW change's has to be point to point naturally) Maybe an "online" mode for MConfig so one can make changes on the fly, eg presets speaker volume etc Why not proper SACD playback  there is a lot of content now ? Keep upp the good work and thank's for the excellent products.  Mikael

Would it not be possible to use the com cables that exist between all Meridian product's ? hear hear. they should put an RJ45 on the main processor boxes and run a network via comms - then we can just keep the "network" jacked into our local networks and let mconfig operate over IP. it's annoying pulling my rack all the time to hook a computer up. Why not proper SACD playback there is a lot of content now ? rotfl. you're a mean one, mikael . go ahead john - i double-dare you!!!! doody

Agree with Mr Doody & Mikael re SACD - ESPECIALLY given all the negative comments re DVD-A in the current thread that's running (How many DVD-A's). Maybe there's a question there about M's continuing support??? (Ouch!)

I third the "network" config so you don't have to move RS-232 around. even if it was slower it would be ok.
