Hi all,

I'm having an odd problem with Philips Pronto (RC5) control of some Meridian kit.

I'm using the RC5 commands from the white papers section of the official Meridian site, and have double checked that I've got everything type in properly, so I suspect that it's an equipment config problem.

Let me explain - I have two Meridian processor setups:

One (upstair) consists of a 562V and a 565. All sources go into the 565V, and a single digital feed goes into the 565 then onto the power amps. Meridian comms runs between the two.

The other (downstairs) has a 565V. All sources go into it. A single digital feed goes into a 518. A single digital feed goes out of the 518 into a 565, and then onto the power amps. Meridian comms runs between all three.

In terms of source configuration, everything is working fine. It's remote control of the volume that is the problem.

If I use my Pronto (configured as per the Meridian website) on the upstairs (562-565) system, then the volume buttons control the volume fine.

However, if I use the same Pronto with the same config on the downstairs (562-518-565) system, then the volume up and down buttons control something odd (whatever is being displayed by default - emphasis?) on the 518. Hence I have to use the hard-panel buttons on the front of the 562V or 565 to turn up and down the volume, which kind of misses the point of having a Pronto :-)

Is there some subtlety in the order of comms chaining, or a config setting on the 518 I need to tweak?


Regards,

Mark
