DSP5000C User Guide
Communications connections
Communications connections are only made to other Meridian equipment.
In general, you can follow the instructions given for the other equipment,
and view DSP5000C as a DSP5000, D600 or D6000 for communication
purposes. The following sections describe the major points.
If you have a Meridian 500-Series only system
For example; 500 or 506 CD, 562 controller, 504 FM tuner
1. Connect the analogue output of analogue sources (including) 504 to
the appropriate inputs on 562
2. Connect the phono plug at the far end of the M5-lead (from the
master) to the digital output of the 562
3. Locate the DIN plugs at the far end of the M5-lead (from the master).
Connect one of these to the socket marked COMMS on the rear of the
562
4. Connect a Meridian 500 Comms lead between the second COMMS
socket on the 562 and one of the COMMS sockets on the CD player
5. Connect a Meridian 500 Comms lead between the second COMMS
socket on the CD player and one of the COMMS sockets on the 504
6. Configure the DSP5000C for Type 1 (see page 30)
7. Set up the 504, 500 or 506 and 562 according to their user manuals.
We suggest you start with Type 1 on all units.
Caution The end of the M5-lead used to make connections with other
Meridian products may have two different plugs. Care should be taken to
choose the correct one for the product, and not to force any connection.
If you have a Meridian 201 or 603 preamplifier and no
Meridian CD player
Unless you have an older M-lead (as opposed to M5 lead) you will need to
obtain an SP5 adapter. An M-lead has two DIN plugs at one end and this
is the end to connect to the preamplifier. The SP5 adapter allows an M5-
lead to connect to 200-Series preamplifier.
1. Connect the analogue output of the 201 or 603 to an analogue–digital
converter such as the Meridian 607
2. Connect the phono plug at the far end of the M5-lead (from the
master) to the digital output of the 607
3. Connect the SP5 adapter to the DIN plug at the far end of the M5-lead
(from the master)
4. Locate the two added DIN plugs. Connect one of these to the socket
marked 200 COMMS on the rear of the 201, or 600 COMMS on the
603
5. Configure the DSP5000C for Type 3 (see page 30)
6. Set up the 603 according to its user manual
If you are using Meridian 207 or 208 as your preamplifier
1. Connect the phono plug at the far end of the M5-lead (from the
master) to the digital output of the CD player
2. Connect the analogue output of the 207 or 208 to an analogue–digital
converter such as the Meridian 607
3. Connect a second digital audio lead (not provided) between the D2
input of the master DSP5000C and the digital output of the 607
4. Locate the DIN plug at the far end of the M5-lead (from the master).
Connect it to the socket marked 200 COMMS on the rear of the 207 or
208
5. Configure the DSP5000C for Type 2 (see page 30)
