Choosing A Standard Setting - Meridian 568 User Manual

Choosing a standard setting

The digital surround processor provides several alternative
standard settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of
the 568 into the most commonly needed configurations. In
addition, any User Types you create using the Meridian
Configuration program are also available.
Choosing one of the Types overrides any other configuration you
may have performed, and so can be used to reset the
configuration of the unit.
If your digital surround processor is connected to a television or
monitor, the on-screen display also provides additional text
explaining what to do. For information about setting up the on-
screen display refer to Connecting video, page 55.
The Type you choose depends on the following aspects of your
system:
The number of speakers in your system.
Whether your system includes a subwoofer.
Whether the speakers are analogue or digital.
