Type 2 setup, Meridian CD as preamp (via 607), 204
connected
The Meridian compact disc player range includes players with built-in
preamplifiers, such as the 207 and the 208. To use the analogue inputs
of these units, it is necessary to put a 607 (or similar) A/D converter
between the fixed output of the preamp section and the D2 input of the
DSP5000. It is possible to control one of the previously mentioned CD
preamp combinations and a Meridian FM tuner using Type 1. Type 1 sets
the DSP5000 as a left master, so you will need to make the other a right
slave, or adjust left/right on both speakers.

Type 3 setup, 601, 201, 603 or 562 as preamp via
607, Meridian CD and 204 connected
In this Type, all sources are mediated through an external control unit or
preamplifier. The output of an analogue preamplifier (201 or 603) will have
to be converted to a digital signal for DSP5000. A Meridian 607 converter
is recommended.
The Meridian 601 preamplifier incorporates an analogue–to–digital
converter for analogue sources. The 601 has very comprehensive
customisation facilities, and these are covered in its manual. If you are
using DSP5000 with a 601, you are advised to study the 601 user guide,
bearing in mind that recommendations concerning D6000 apply equally to
DSP5000.
It does not make sense to connect a Meridian CD player to an analogue-
only preamplifier such as the 201 or 603. For such a connection you
should use Type 4.
