Introduction Welcome to the Meridian 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller. This User Guide provides full information about using the surround controller in conjunction with your other equipment, to achieve the superb results you can expect from it.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller Digital signal processing, or DSP, is a technique pioneered by Meridian in hi-fi products for achieving extremely accurate reproduction of audio signals. Unlike conventional analogue systems – which process signals using electronic circuits based on resistors, capacitors, and inductors – DSP works by performing exact mathematical calculations on digital versions of the signals.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE DSP presets and layouts The 861 provides an extensive range of options for decoding and processing analogue and digital signals for multichannel reproduction. Music on CD or radio The following DSP presets add a surround dimension to stereo recordings, such as on audio CDs or FM radio. Music extracts the mono and surround components of the original recording for the centre and surround speakers to give a spacious open sound field.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE Multichannel movie soundtracks on DVD The following presets are designed for use with multichannel movie soundtracks encoded using Dolby Digital, DTS, or AAC (on some models). Typically these are labelled 5.1 because they provide five full-range channels (three front and two rear) and one LFE (bass effects) channel. Cinema and THX decode the soundtrack to render the original six channels to your speaker layout.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE Overview The architecture of the 861 allows for wide flexibility – future sources and formats can be handled by upgrading either software or cards. Meridian MHR Smartlink The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller incorporates a unique multichannel link, which allows it to receive an upsampled 6-channel PCM stream from a compatible source, such as the Meridian 800 Reference DVD/CD Player, for the highest possible sound quality.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE Outputs The 8+ outputs can be provided as digital signals to feed Meridian DSP Loudspeakers, or as variable analogue outputs using a proprietary on-board 24-bit resolution conversion method. The optional Tape card provides additional A/D and D/A converters to give support for both tape recorders, extensive 2- and 3-zone multi-room capability (analogue or digital formats), and headphones.
INTRODUCTION PREFACE Typical specification Audio in and out • Up to 12 analogue inputs. User-adjustable sensitivity. Re-nameable legends. • Up to 12 digital inputs. Re-nameable legends. 32 to 96kHz sampling, and up to 24-bit precision. • Digital and analogue tape loops. • Independent copy and 2-room+ capability. • Up to 10 digital outputs. • Up to 10 analogue outputs. • Optional 5.1-channel analogue input.

USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Switching on and off When not playing, the digital surround controller should be left in the standby state. This ensures that the components of the digital surround controller operate at maximum efficiency from the moment you start. If you are not going to use the digital surround controller for several days you should switch the unit off completely at the rear panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Selecting a source The digital surround controller provides the following 12 sources: CD, Radio, DVD, Aux, Disc, Tape, TV, Cable, Sat, VCR1, VCR2, and Game. Your installer may have customised the labels displayed for each source to suit your other equipment. The input and DSP preset associated with each source depends on how the digital surround controller has been set up; for more information see Setting up sources, page 55.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Adjusting the volume The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller adjusts the volume in precise steps of 1dB, where 9dB is equivalent to doubling the loudness. The current volume setting is displayed in dB on the front-panel display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99dB.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the DSP preset Each source has a set of DSP presets associated with it, one for each of the alternative content types: Music 2 (2-channel music), Music 6 (multichannel music), Movie 2 (2-channel movie soundtrack), or Movie 6 (multichannel movie soundtrack). When you choose a source, a DSP preset is selected depending on the incoming content type.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the display The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller displays information about the current settings on the 20-character front-panel display. In addition, it can display the same information superimposed on a video image. You can adjust the contrast and brightness of the front-panel display for optimum viewing, and choose what information is displayed.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER To change the displayed information • Press Display (remote or under the front panel). TV ProLogic Each time you press Display the display will step between the options shown in the following table. Display option Example Source, DSP preset, and volume. DVD-A Ambisonics 65 Source, DSP preset, and THX reference level. DVD-A Ambisonics -22 Audio format, number of channels, content type, and sampling rate. DVD-A PCM Music6 44k Blank.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Symbol In addition, the following symbols on the front-panel display indicate which of the DSP processing modes are operating, or what the original format was if received via the Meridian MHR Smartlink: What it means Dolby processing is operating. DIGITAL Input is Dolby Digital. THX processing is operating. Input is DTS. MPEG Input is MPEG.
USING THE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Recording a source The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller allows you to copy any of the standard sources to the tape outputs, independently of the source you are listening to. If you are using the digital surround controller in a two-room system, you copy a source to the tape output to make it available to the second room. To copy a source • Press Copy (under the front panel).

Customising the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller In addition to being able to change the source, volume, and DSP preset, the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller provides a sophisticated range of more advanced adjustments for each DSP preset, to allow you to tailor the sound. This chapter explains how to change these parameters, using the menu keys on the remote or under the front panel, and gives detailed instructions for adjusting common parameters.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Locking and unlocking the menus To simplify the normal operation of the digital surround controller, and to protect the settings from accidental changes, you can lock the menus so that the DSP parameters cannot be accessed. The only parameters available with the menus locked are Brightness and Contrast. To display or change the DSP presets, or to define your own presets, you first need to unlock the digital surround controller menus.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the DSP parameters Each DSP preset provides a series of parameters that you can vary to customise the behaviour of the preset to your specific requirements. For example, most presets provide Balance and Depth parameters to allow you to alter the characteristics of the sound.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Standard parameters All DSP presets (except Mono, Stereo, and Direct) provide the following standard parameters: Parameter Range Default What it changes Treble* -10dB to +10dB +0.0dB The slope of the frequency response. Bass* -5dB to +5dB +0.0dB The bass response. Phase* + or - + The absolute phase. Axis† -2 to +3 -1 The vertical balance. Balance <10 to 10> <0> The L-R balance.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing treble, bass, or phase The digital surround controller provides sophisticated treble and bass controls, to allow you to adjust the broad balance of the system to correct for the acoustics of your listening room, or for a misbalanced recording. The controls are more subtle than conventional tone controls, and take advantage of digital signal processing techniques to provide a more natural adjustment of the frequency response.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the listening position A conventional stereo system provides a single balance control, which changes the relative loudness of the two speakers. The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller provides a more sophisticated adjustment which corresponds to moving the listening position to the left or right.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER To change the relative level of the side or rear loudspeakers • Press < or > until the display shows the speakers you want to adjust. CD For example: Rear +0dB • Use A or V to change the relative level of the speakers, in dB. You can change the relative loudness of the rear loudspeakers from -30dB (about one-eighth of the loudness) to +10dB (about double the loudness).
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the integration of the centre If you have a centre loudspeaker you can adjust its relative loudness, to provide the best integration of the centre with the main left and right speakers. You can also adjust the relative delay of the centre speaker to give the best perspective between the three front speakers. Note: These adjustments are not available for the Direct, Stereo, or Mono presets.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the spaciousness of the sound You can adjust the spaciousness of the sound by altering the delay on the rear and side channels. Note: These adjustments are not available for the Direct, Stereo, or Mono presets. To change the relative delay of the rear or side speakers • Press > or < until the display shows: CD R Delay 0.0 • Press A or V to change the relative delay of the rear speakers.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the lip sync and on-screen display To adjust the lip sync The LipSync parameter is a feature originated by Meridian that allows you to adjust the delay between the sound and the video image by up to 50ms, or up to 85ms if Meridian Room Correction is not being used. Most movies are mixed for a viewing distance of 9m (30'), and when viewed from 3.6m (12') or less the sound arrives too early, giving a disconcerting effect.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Changing the DSP preset for a source Each source has an appropriate DSP preset associated with it for each music format. For example, for a standard stereo (PCM) signal the CD source uses Trifield and the TV source uses TV Logic. This section explains how to change the DSP preset associated with any source. To assign a DSP preset to a source • Make sure the menus are unlocked; see To unlock the menus, page 22.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Defining your own presets The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller allows you to modify any of the built-in presets, and save them for future use. You can either save the changes to the built-in preset, or you can create up to 10 presets of your own, with names of your choice, so you can use them alongside the built-in presets. To save the preset settings • Make sure the menus are unlocked; see To unlock the menus, page 22.
CUSTOMISING PREFACETHE 861 REFERENCE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER If you have an on-screen display it shows: • Press > or < to select the character position you want to edit. • Press A or V to change the character. Each press steps through the sequence A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, full stop, and blank. You can also select a blank directly by pressing Clear on the remote. For example, you could change the name to: Store La Scala • When you have entered the name you want to use press Store.

TV Logic TV Logic is a Logic preset based on Pro Logic IIx with the addition of useradjustable steering, designed to give higher intelligibility and a more appropriate spatial presentation for studio-based TV material.
DSP PREFACE PRESETS DSP presets for multichannel material Multichannel audio signals can come from either encoded data streams (such as Dolby Digital) or as discrete channels from a DVD player. If you are using Meridian SmartLink then all formats will reach the 861 as discrete channels. With suitable loudspeakers the 861 can upsample these to provide a more enjoyable surround experience.
DSP PREFACE PRESETS Discrete and Cinema DSP preset parameters Parameter Options What it changes 2+2+2* Off, 5.1, Side, 7.1 Allows you to specify how DVD Audio channels 3+4 should be interpreted: Off ignores them, 5.1 and 7.1 use them for centre and LFE, Side uses them for the side speakers, 7.1 adds side speakers to 5.1. Surround† Surr. Rear, Surr. Side, Surr. All Allows you to specify which speakers the surround channels should be sent to in a system with four surrounds.
DSP PREFACE PRESETS THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music use a THX proprietary process called advanced speaker array to provide a mix of ambient and directional surround sounds using four surround speakers. Optimum performance of THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music is produced when the two rear speakers are placed close together behind the listening position.
DSP PREFACE PRESETS The Compress parameter allows you to set one of the following options: Option Description Compress off No compression. Quiet boost Provides a moderate amount of bottom-up compression. This raises quiet sounds above the background noise, which is ideal for demonstration and quiet listening. Compress med Provides moderate amounts of both bottom-up and top-down compression. Loud cut Provides a moderate amount of top-down compression. This reduces loud sounds.
Configuring the digital surround controller This chapter explains how to set up the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller for most standard configurations of loudspeakers and sources using just the front-panel controls and MSR+.
CONFIGURING THE 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.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER • Hold down the A key on the front panel until the display shows: Type in... 3 • Keep holding down the A key for a further three seconds. Type- please wait. The display will show: If you have an on-screen display it shows: Then after a short delay the display shows the current Type. Type For example: 3 If you have an on-screen display it shows information about the Type; for example: • Press A or V on the front panel to change the Type number.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER If you have an on-screen display it shows: • Wait for one second, and then put the digital surround controller into standby by pressing Off (front panel or remote). • Switch on again to use the standard settings you have selected.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Calibrating the system To help you to set up your installation to give the best possible sound with any particular combination of associated equipment, the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller includes a built-in calibration procedure. This calibration procedure uses test signals to present a series of sounds, which you use to adjust certain aspects of the system to their optimum settings.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Calibration The display shows: If you have an on-screen display it shows: After a few seconds the display shows: Left Level +0.0dB For more detailed information about this and the other calibration tests see the following sections. To move between the calibration tests • Press > (remote), or the corresponding menu key under the front panel. • Press < (remote), or the corresponding menu key under the front panel, to move back to an earlier test.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Calibration tests Levels These tests allow you to adjust the output level to each speaker individually, and it follows the general guidelines from Dolby Laboratories and Lucasfilm Ltd. A Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter can be useful at this stage; see Using a Sound Pressure Level meter, page 49. In each test the display shows the speaker being tested, and the current relative level. Left For example: Level +0.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Distance These tests allow you to adjust the delay of each of the speakers in the layout to time-align the system so that sounds are coincident when they arrive at the listening position.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Repeat this for each of the speakers in your layout. • Press > or Store to proceed to the next calibration stage. Fine tuning These tests allow you to fine-tune the phase and delay of each speaker when used in conjunction with other speakers on the layout. • Press > or < to move between each of the speakers in the layout. The first display allows you to adjust the phase.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER As you increase the delay the speaker will appear to move away from you. • Press > or Store to proceed to the next calibration stage. Speaker size These tests allow you to determine the bass handling capability of large analogue speakers and subwoofers. Once set, the 861 will limit the bass level to protect the speakers from potential damage. In each test the display shows the speaker being tested and the current size value chosen for the speaker.
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SURROUND CONTROLLER Setting up sources This section explains how to use Gain/Sub mode to set up the sources connected to the digital surround controller, and configure them to suit your other equipment. You can also adjust the subwoofer crossover frequency to suit the subwoofers in your system.
