Choosing standard settings
The 551 Integrated Amplifier provides six alternative standard
settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of the
integrated amplifier into the six most commonly needed
configurations.
Choosing one of the six standard settings overrides any other
configuration you may have performed, and so can be used to
reset the configuration of the integrated amplifier.
By default, the integrated amplifier is supplied set to Type 1.
If you have a system containing only Meridian 500 Series units
then you should choose one of Types 5, 1, 4, or 3. These give
progressively larger numbers of inputs, as shown in the table
opposite.
If your system includes any Meridian 600 or 200 Series units you
should choose Type 2 or Type 6. For more information see To
connect to Meridian 600 or 200 Series equipment, page 30.
