Connectors
The connection sockets on the back panel of the D6000, and their uses,
are as follows:
Comms Output A DIN connector which is used to send information on
to the D6000 slave
NEVER connect an audio DIN lead to this socket.
Comms Input A DIN connector which is used to exchange information
with other Meridian components
NEVER connect an audio DIN lead to this socket.
D1 The first digital input, using a coaxial cable
D2 The second digital input, using a coaxial cable
D OUT A digital output which is selected by the D6000 to pass on a
signal to the other D6000. This means that the slave only needs to
have one digital input connected.
O1 The first optical digital input
O2 The second optical digital input
Optical Comms Input A connector which can be used to exchange
information with other Meridian components supporting 'Optical
Comms'. (Generally not recommended. For more information, consult
your dealer).
Optical Comms Output A connector which can be used to send
information on to a D6000 slave
AC The lower panel contains the power supply, and should already be
adjusted for your local supply voltage – check the labelling. The panel
contains a 3-pin IEC power inlet plug, with a power switch and integral
fuse holder.
Where to put the master
The master has more connections made to it than the slave has, since it
is the speaker which is directly connected to any other Meridian products
in the system (for example, a 602, 603, or 607, or any multiroom
components). It is therefore sensible to put it closer than the slave to the
sources, for the sake of tidiness. You should now be able to decide where
the master will be, and whether it will be the left or right speaker.
Routing cables
Do not route the D6000 cables any nearer to TV or radio antenna cables
than is necessary. Try to keep any excess cable lengths coiled up, as far
from any tuner or television receiver as possible.
Where possible, use a dedicated AC power outlet for each D6000. In any
case, try not to use the same outlet group for any tuner or TV.
D6000 is a digital audio product, and its use involves distributing digital
audio signals. This is a new field, and it is important to follow our
instructions. Incorrect distribution of digital audio could lead to radio
interference, noticeable errors, or unnecessarily reduced sound quality.
Correct distribution will give you the best sound it is possible to have. You
may be able to use the cables we supply.
AC connection
Before connecting any unit to the AC supply, check that it is adjusted to
the correct voltage for your supply.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MAKE CONNECTIONS OR INSERT OR
REMOVE PLUGS WHILE THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE AC
SUPPLY AND SWITCHED ON.
