Cine EQ button
When the CINE EQ button is pressed Cinema
Equalisation will be switched on and the
text CEQ will appear in the front panel
display and the On Screen Display status
screen. Press again to switch CINE EQ off.
The sound tracks on movies often sound
rather bright because they have been
balanced to take into account the acoustics
of typical cinemas (movie theatres). Myryad’s
Cinema Equalisation has been carefully
designed to compensate for this brightness
without impairing treble sound quality.
NOTE: CINE EQ IS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THE
UNIT IS SET TO A MUSIC MODE.

provides compatibility with future multi-

remote control
handset operation
The MDP 500 is supplied with the Myryad
Audio-Video Learning Remote Control
handset. It will control not only your
MDP 500, but also any Myryad CD player
or FM tuner.
The Myryad Audio-Video Learning Remote
Control handset is a very powerful and
flexible remote. Apart from controlling
Myryad products it can also control up to 6
further products (e.g. DVD, VCR, TV,
Set-Top box etc.) – either by calling up pre-
programmed code sets which are already
stored in the handset, or by “teaching” the
Myryad handset from your existing remote.
The Myryad Audio-Video Learning Remote
Control handset is custom-made for Myryad
by Universal Remote Control Inc.. Fully
detailed instructions for the programming
and operation of the remote are in the
“Home Theater Master SL-9000 Operating
Manual” supplied with the MDP 500.
To control Myryad products the handset
must be set to AUDIO or CD mode by
pressing either the AUD or CD button at
the top of the handset. AUDIO mode is
used for operating the MDP 500, or any
Myryad integrated amplifier or preamplifier
and Myryad FM tuners. CD mode is used
for operating any Myryad CD player.
Remote operation of the MDP

CD, DVD, AUX, SAT, TV, VCR, CBL) set the
operating mode of the handset. To control
the MDP 500 first press the AUD key to
switch to AUDIO mode. In this mode the
remote will also control Myryad FM tuners
and operates exactly as described in your
Myryad tuner Owner’s Manual.
