setting the controller status in Config as described on page ??.
Connecting to Meridian Digital speakers
1. Connect the phono plug on the end of the M-lead to the digital output
of the 562.
4. Connect one of the two DIN plugs on one end of the M-lead to one of
the COMMS sockets on the back of 562.
Note There are usually two DIN plugs on an M-lead. Take care to chose
the correct one and do not force the plug. The second plug is used to
connect to any 200 Series products in the range.
Connecting digital recorders; CDR, DAT or DCC

562 as described on page 25.
2. Use Config to connect that input to one of the source keys, see page

3. Connect the second digital output of 562 to a digital input on the
recorder.
Connecting analogue tape recorders
1. Connect the analogue output on the recorder to one of the analogue
inputs on 562 as described on page 25.
2. Connect one of the tape outputs of 562 to an analogue input on the

Making recordings
The 562 is ideally suited to making many types of recordings, in particular
both analogue and digital recorders can be used at the same time.
General caution for making recordings
As you will know by now, 562 is a complex and powerful control unit,
there are however a few things you may need to understand about how it
works in order to make the recording you want.
Recording is made using either:
the Tape outputs for analogue signals, or
the DO2, second digital output for digital signals.
In both cases the signals routed to these outputs are under control of the
Copy key as described on page ??.
Why can there be any problems making recordings?
The difficulties you may encounter are due to the following:
562 accepts digital and analogue signals
562 has outputs for analogue and digital recorders (e.g. cassette,
VCR, DCC, CDR etc).
562 has only one analogue to digital converter
562 (as standard) does not have any digital to analogue converter
Always works OK
The following list shows the copy procedures that always work
irrespective of the main listening source (as opposed to the copy source).
1. the source you want to copy is available in analogue form either as the
primary or extra input, and you want to make an analogue recording.
(See page ?? for setting up extra inputs).
