Configuring
the DSP8000
loudspeakers
Choosing standard settings
The DSP8000 loudspeakers provide the following
five alternative standard settings, called Types, which
configure all aspects of the loudspeaker into the most
commonly needed configurations:
Type Description
1 Standard setting for -channel system.
For use with a Meridian CD player (eg 808.)
connected to the SpeakerLink input; all other
sources use the co-axial input.
For use with a Meridian Surround Controller.
7 For use in a second room.
8 For use in the second or third room of a three-
room system.
Types , , and 4 are for compatibility with 00/00
series units.
In all cases except Type , the D1 input is used for all
sources.
Choosing one of the standard settings overrides any
other configuration you may have performed, and so
can be used to reset the configuration of the speakers.
To select a standard setting
Switch off the DSP loudspeaker.
Turn on the power again while holding down the
number key on the remote which corresponds to the
Type you want to use.
The display will show the Type number.
