Some formatting is lost. But you want to manually setup a 2 Channel Phantom.

Setup of Meridian preamp for 6 Channel SPDIF

When using the 861v4 separated decoder+preset model (861v4, G6x, 568.2 with v2.5 firmware)

You should use the "Cinema" preset with movie material.
You should probably use "Cinema" with DD/DTS music material (TBC)
You should use "Discrete" with lossless music (unless the disc clearly sounds bass-light).
The Meridian 6 channel SPDIF inputs are treated as "Music6" and will therefore apply the Music speaker layout. The default "Music6" preset will be applied when the source is selected. This will be the "Discrete" preset unless changed in MConfig (so you should change it to Cinema or you'll lose 10db of LFE on Movies).
Adding the Source with MConfig (Current Release for G68/861)

Add a Generic DVD Player (this will be your modified BD Player).
Choose OK (don't worry that it does not have the right connections)
Choose No (Advanced)
Choose Next (e.g. Leave it as Connect to G68ADV)
Choose New button next to the From:
Change Type to Multichannel Digital

Optionally change the To dropdown to MD1, MD2 etc.
Choose Connect Button
