Meridian America MSR+ - Manual

The Meridian System Remote Plus is an ad-
vanced, backlit, learning/programmable remote
control that provides a comprehensive range of
commands to allow you to control every product
in your Meridian system straight out of the box.
You can also use it to control your other equip-
ment.
The MSR+ provides a total of 51 keys to give ac-
cess to all the most frequently used commands
of your Meridian products, and a function (or
shift) key for additional, less frequently-needed
operations.
For easy selection of sources the MSR+ provides
12 source keys corresponding to the sources
provided by Meridian digital surround controllers
and preamplifi ers.
The MSR+ is supplied with a selection of alter-
native keycaps for the source keys, which you
can use to match the particular combination of
components in your system. Extra keycaps are
provided for a range of additional devices. For
example, if you own a DVD Recorder, you can
change the keycaps to provide a DVD-R key.
Undoing four screws allows the removal of the
top cover of the MSR+, revealing the remov-
able source key caps and enabling them to be
interchanged.
The MSR+ includes an extensive internal library
of devices, from an enormous list of manufac-
turers, that can be used to replace the original
remotes for those other products. Up to nine
third-party devices can be controlled, simply by
confi guring the remote with the appropriate de-
vice codes. A complete list of supported product
types and manufacturers is provided.
In addition to locating the exact code in the list
supplied, you can select the type of device and
then step through the available device codes un-
til the best one to control your device is located.
Even if you own a product that is not supported
by the built-in device library, learning capability
is included so that the Meridian System Remote
Plus can learn up to 120 commands from your
existing third-party remote controls and assign
them to a key on the MSR+.
Learned commands can also be added to the
command set provided by the product database,
so for example you can add transport controls to
your satellite receiver if it subsequently gathers
additional PVR functions.
The learning function is even able to store dual-
code commands.
For convenience, the MSR+ keypad is backlit,
so it can be used even in low-light conditions.
The remote automatically senses the ambient
light level in the room and only brings up the
backlight when it is required, thereby maximis-
ing battery life.
The MSR+ has a battery life of over six months
in normal use – a little less if the backlight is
used extensively.
