Display setup

The Display Setup specifies the parameters for
the On Screen Display. In each case the the
LEFT and RIGHT keys may be used to alter
the parameter selected.

Select TV System to switch between NTSC
and PAL to suit your TV monitor.

Superimpose allows the OSD either 
to replace the TV picture (Off), or be
superimposed over it (On).

During normal operation of the MDP 500,
it is possible to have a “temporary” OSD 
appear for a few seconds every time any
adjustment is made. This is set using the
“Temp. Display” parameter which may 
be set to Full, Simple, or Off as desired.

Video Format can be set to S-Video or
Composite, or Auto – that automatically
selects the best source present.

The OSD Output can be sent to the
Composite, or S-Video Monitor outputs,
or both, or it may be switched Off.

OSD style changes the screen text colour 
if Superimpose is switched Off.

Trigger setup

The Trigger Setup specifies the parameters 
for the DC Trigger outputs (see page 4). 

Each of the trigger parameters may be set
separately for “Trig1” which controls the
TRIGGER 1 output and “Trig2” which 
controls the TRIGGER 2 and TRIGGER 3
outputs. Use the UP and DOWN keys to 

select which parameter you wish to change.
In each case the the LEFT and RIGHT keys 
are used to alter the parameter selected.

“sense” sets what controls activate the
Trigger output. Set to Power On to activate
the trigger when switching out ofSTANDBY
(and de-activate it when returning to 
STANDBY). Alternatively the trigger output 
may be activated when any of the inputs is 
selected (Tuner, CD, DVD, TV, VCR, SAT, 
Aux1, Aux2 and 7.1CH).

“polar” sets the polarity of the trigger
output. “Posit.” gives a +12V DC output
when the trigger is active and zero when
inactive. “Negat.” gives a +0V DC output
when the trigger is active and +12V 
when inactive.

“delay” sets a delay between the “sense”
signal and the trigger output voltage
changing. The delay may be set to various
times from 1second to 3 minutes or to
“No” which give zero delay.

“durat.” Sets the period (duration) that
the trigger output is active. The trigger
duration may be set to various times from
10ms (milliseconds) to 3 minutes, or 
to“Infin.” which keeps the trigger active
while the “sense” condition prevails.

EXIT returns to the main menu

Using the Myryad A-V Learning 
Remote in CD mode.

To switch the remote into CD mode 
press the CD “device” key at the top of 
the handset. In CD mode many of the 

keys still operate the MDP 500 functions 
as described above. Only those whose
function changes to control Myryad CD
players are described below.

The CD Player keys carry out exactly the 
same functions as the identically named keys
on the CD remote control handset supplied
with your Myryad CD Player. Some of the
keys on the CD handset controlling certain
infrequently used functions have been
omitted from the A-V Learning Remote
Control so that it is more straightforward to
use. All the other keys continue to control 
the MDP 500 and operate exactly as
described in the previous section – with the
sole exception of the “7.1 CH / +10” key
which has no function in CD mode.

installing 

and replacing

batteries

The remote handset uses four 1.5 V type 
AAA batteries. To fit new batteries first 
open the battery compartment in the rear 
of the handset and remove any existing
batteries. Fit the new ones as directed by 
the symbols printed inside the battery
compartment, then replace the battery
compartment cover. The batteries should
always be removed if they are discharged
(indicated by no remote control operation 
or by operation only at very short range).

trouble-shooting

guide

some of the most common problems

If a fault is detected switch the preamplifier
OFF immediately before checking or
changing cables or connections.

No sound:

Power turned OFF or power cord 
disconnected. Check that the LED in 
the STANDBY button is illuminated.

An inoperative input has been selected 
(e.g. CD input with no CD playing or 
TUNER input with the tuner switched off).

An input has been selected with no 
source connected.

TAPE input has been selected with no 
tape playing.

UK version only: The fuse in the mains
plug has failed. Check and replace if 
necessary.

No sound in one channel only:

Interconnect cable pulled loose or making
poor contact. Check and, if necessary, un-
plug and re-plug all relevant cables.

Loud buzz or hum:

Interconnect cable pulled partially out 
of its socket.

Defective interconnect cable.

Hum in tape playback

Tape deck too close to the power amplifier
(e.g. directly above or below).

Plugs making poor contact with sockets.

Incorrect operation 
– some functions not working

Control processor latched. Switch off 
POWER and wait for about one minute. 
Then switch POWER on. Normal 
operation should resume.
