The Meridian System Remote provides access to all the facilities
available from the digital surround processor, including those

to control any other 500 Series units in your system.
If you have problems ordering these items you can order them
direct from Meridian Audio Limited, who can also supply a range
of cables suitable for connecting the digital surround processor
to other equipment.
PCM, 7.1, and MLP versions
The 565 Digital Surround Processor is available in two versions;
a PCM version, which decodes Stereo, Trifield, Ambisonic, and
Dolby Surround materials, and a 7.1 version, which also
supports Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, and MPEG. Support for MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing) format is also available as an
optional extra.
Each version can be upgraded to a higher version at any time.
For more information about obtaining the upgrade please
contact your Meridian dealer.
To take advantage of Dolby Digital on LaserDisc you also need
the Meridian 519 Demodulator, which converts the LaserDisc
RF output to a bitstream which can be fed to the 565. The
519 Demodulator automatically senses the presence of a Dolby
Digital signal, and can select the LaserDisc PCM or DTS digital
audio output when these are not available.
