[. . . ] Each Meridian 500 Series component is housed in a matching slim line case. Front panel controls provide access to the most important functions, and the full range of functions is available from the Meridian System Remote using a simple and intuitive control interface. The 500 Series also includes features for professional users, including RS232 computer control (501, 562, and DSP5000), and balanced outputs (563). Introduction 500 Series communications The Meridian 500 Series includes a sophisticated communications link, to ensure that any configuration of units will work together as a fully integrated system. The 500 Series communications system allows you to control any combination of units using a single handset, and ensures that your commands from the handset are interpreted unambiguously. Any unit can be designated as the controller for the system, allowing you to position the other units out of range from the handset beam if desired. It also allows all the units to be switched off from the front panel of any unit in the system. Professional features The following pages give examples of four suggested configurations to illustrate the flexibility of the Meridian 500 Series. 2 Sample configurations 506 Compact Disc Player 500 Compact Disc Transport A2 A2 506 500 504 501 M60555 M60 504 562 DSP5000 DSP5000 The 506 Compact Disc Player is an integrated CD transport and converter, providing both digital and analogue outputs.
