562 User Guide
1. Select a source from the front panel or using the Remote Control.
Tapping Source once brings the 562 on with the last-used source
selected.
or
If the 562 is part of a Meridian
system, bring any component out of
standby. For example start up a Meridian CD-player.
Adjusting the volume
The standard 562 does not have a volume control. If you want a variable
output, making it very like a conventional preamplifier, then you need to fit
the optional DAC module. Ask your dealer for details.
When used in a system based on Meridian digital speakers which is
operating in 500 communications mode (see the explanation of this on
page ??), the volume keys on the front of 562 will operate the speaker
volume.
If you have a DAC option fitted, or are using digital speakers in 500 mode
you can adjust the volume on the front panel of the 562.
To increase the volume
1. press ,, the right-hand volume key on the 562
or
press the top red key on the Remote
To decrease the volume
1. press ,, the left hand volume key on the 562
or
press the bottom red key on the Remote Control
As you adjust the volume setting, the display will change to show the cur-
rent source and volume level. For example:
would indicate that you were listening to a Compact
Disc at a volume setting of 65. The volume level dis-
played will count up or down and ranges from 1 to 99. Each step is 1dB.
If you have selected a different display, the display will then revert to your
selected information.
Subjectively a volume increase of 9dB is equivalent to a doubling of
loudness. Each volume number represents about a 11% change in loud-
ness; nine steps to double loudness. In a traditional preamplifier using a
rotary volume control the mid-way position offered between 20dB and
30dB of attenuation. On 562 20dB attenuation is at volume number 79,
30dB at 69. For normal to high-level listening you should expect volume
numbers in the region 60 to 90. For this reason 562 starts at power-up
with volume number 70.
Note When 562 is set up for use with D600, DSP5000 or D6000; volume,
balance and mute are handled by the speaker and 562 will not respond to
the Remote control.
Muting the sound
The mute facility cuts off the sound by setting the volume level to zero.
To mute the sound
1. Press Mute on the 562 or the Remote Control. The output will mute
and the display will change to:
