To connect to other Meridian G Series, 500 Series, or 800 Series equipment
G68 Digital Surround Controller
COMMS
In a system of Meridian products the products should be linked
together in a chain, via the COMMS sockets, using the Comms
leads supplied with each product. The sequence in which you
connect the units is not important.
One of the products acts as the controller for the system, receiving
infra-red commands from the MSR+, and then, if appropriate,
relaying them to the other products via the Comms link. The
following procedure should be used to set up the Comms correctly
between several products:
• Switch all the units to standby.
• Press Clear (MSR+).
Each unit will display:
Auto
One unit will then be designated as the controller, and display:
Con.
G Series or 800 Series unit
COMMS
COMMS LEAD
All the other units will be configured as non-controllers, and
display:
The system is now ready for use.
If the automatic setup does not work, first make sure you are
operating the MSR+ from a position where all the units can receive
the infra-red, and try again. Then:
• Check that none of the units have been configured to be IR
Controller; see Settings , page 35. Either all products should be
set to Auto, or one should be configured as Controller and the
others as Not Controller.
Note: Do not, under any circumstances, connect any equipment
other than Meridian G Series or 800 Series to any socket marked
COMMS on the back of the product.
