Configuring the 861
Reference Digital
Surround Controller
Choosing a standard setting
The digital surround controller provides six standard
settings, called Types, which configure all aspects
of the 861 into the most commonly needed
configurations. In addition, any User Types you create
using the Meridian Configuration program are also
available.
Types 0 to 5 are factory settings, designed to cater
for the most commonly needed configurations of
associated equipment.
These standard Types are shown in the following table:
Type Speakers Music
Sub Logic
Sub 5.1
Movie
Sub
0 All analogue. LFE Centre LFE
1 All analogue. Mono Mono Mono
2 All digital. LFE Centre LFE
3 All digital, large
centre. None None None
4 Digital left, right,
and centre. LFE Centre LFE
5 Digital left and
right. LFE Centre LFE
In this table Music Sub refers to a subwoofer used for
all Music DSP presets, Logic Sub to a subwoofer used
for all Logic DSP presets, and 5.1 Movie Sub to a
subwoofer used for all 5.1 Movie DSP presets.
Choosing one of the Types overrides any other
configuration you may have performed, and so can
be used to reset the configuration of the unit. Note:
Selecting a Type will clear any configuration and
calibration changes you have made, or any DSP
presets you have defined. It does not reset any Room
correction profiles stored to the 861 using the Meridian
Configuration program.
To select a standard setting
Warning: This procedure will reset any
configuration and calibration changes you
have made.

Keep holding down the A key for a further three
seconds.
The display will show:

Then after a short delay the display shows the current
Type.
For example: Type 3
Press A or V on the front panel to change the Type
number.
The display shows: Typing, please wait.
Wait for one second, and then put the digital
surround controller into standby by pressing Off
(front panel or remote).

have selected.
