Distributing Video
If the control unit in the main room is a 501V or a 562V, AV installations may also
have composite video routed to other rooms. Selecting a source in a secondary room
will then select the picture as well as the sound. The composite
VCR outputs of the
main room control unit should be wired along with the comms and audio connections
so that pictures from the VCR or Laser Disc in the main room may be viewed
elsewhere in the house.
Connecting Recording Equipment
Customers with Two-Room systems and recording equipment such as cassette and
VCR will need additional tape outputs not provided by the control unit in the main
room. In this case, a Y-style phono-phono lead is needed which connects several
wires to one pair of phono plugs.
Sources in Other Rooms
Sources may be installed in other rooms. For example, an additional CD player may
be required for listening in the second room only of figure 1. It can be connected to
the
CD input of the 551 in that room. The 551 will have to be configured to know
about this source. See ‘Configuring the sources’ in the 551 User Guide .
If it is desirable that the CD in the second room can be listened to in the main room,
a second pair of long phono-phono cables is required. These should connect the
Tape Output of the second room to the Tape 1 input of the control unit in the main
room. This control unit must then also be configured to know about this source.
Extension Eyes
Any Meridian control unit may be placed out of sight. A 512 IR Sensor should be
plugged into one of its
Comms sockets. The 512 may then be placed discreetly in a
good position for receiving commands from the handset.
