562 User Guide
Customising 562, an overview
562 is a very sophisticated device with a huge number of options to allow
you to set up exactly the system you need or to experiment with new
possibilities.
Programming 562 is a straightforward process and you should not be
timid about experimenting. Although the setup is stored in non-volatile
memory called EEPROM, the EPROM (which you cannot change)
contains default Type settings and you can return to these at any time.
Restoring default settings
1. Switch off any power amplifiers that are connected to 562.
2. Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.
3. While pressing the Off key on the 562 front panel, switch the power on
again. The display will read:
4. Release the Off key
At this stage you can change the Type from 1 – 6 using the ▲ and ▼
Volume keys; see details on page Error! Bookmark not defined..
5. Switch off the 562 using the power switch on the back.
6. After half a second, switch the 562 power on again.
Caution Some power amplifiers are very susceptible to small surges that
may result from the process of switching a preamplifier on and off. Some
– like the Meridian 205 or 605 incorporate DC-offset protection that may
be triggered by this process. Meridian active or digital loudspeakers are
inherently proof against these surges and need not be switched off. In
general digital products like power amplifiers, recorders etc. will be
unpredictable when they have the digital signal interrupted.
562 has three setup options; Type, Config and Gain. These together with
Normal and Standby give the 562 five operating states. The following
sections give an overview.
Type: an overview
Type just described, restores one of the default settings. No further
actions are possible.
Config: an overview
Config mode is used for setting fundamentals of options and control.
Consequently in Config the outputs of 562 are muted while you make the
necessary choices. The choices available in Config are outlined in the
following sections.
Config: control settings
In Config you can make selections that effect the way 562 responds to
certain keys. The main choices of this kind are:
• whether you use 500 or 200 communications protocol in the system.
See page ??.
• whether the 562 is to auto-configure, or you will determine the
controller in the system. See page 28.
• The ‘address’ of the product.
• whether or not there is an internal or external DAC fitted.
• choices on how the volume control works.
• how the product treats the handset ‘Menu’ keys
