Configuring
the DSP8000
loudspeakers
Choosing standard settings
The DSP8000 loudspeakers provide the following
five alternative standard settings, called Types, which
configure all aspects of the loudspeaker into the most
commonly needed configurations:
Type Description
1 Standard setting for 2-channel system.
5 For use with a Meridian CD player (eg 808.2)
connected to the RJ45 SpeakerLink input; all
other sources use the co-axial input.
6 For use with a Meridian Surround Controller.
7 For use in a second room.
8 For use in the second or third room of a three-
room system.
Types 2, 3, and 4 are for compatibility with 200/600
series units.
In all cases except Type 5, the co-axial input is used for
all sources.
Choosing one of the standard settings overrides any
other configuration you may have performed, and so
can be used to reset the configuration of the speakers.
To select a standard setting
Switch off the DSP loudspeaker.
Turn on the power again while holding down the
number key on the remote which corresponds to the
Type you want to use.
The display will show the Type number.

To choose master or slave and the
primary connector

this will normally be the centre channel. For more
information see
Connecting to other equipment, page
12. Each other DSP loudspeaker should be configured
as a slave.
Press the > (Play) key on the remote.
