Meridian 541 - Introduction

Introduction
The Meridian 541 Surround Controller is unique in providing high quality
surround-sound processing in an audio-visual remote-control preamplifier.
The surround processing provides a range of modes both for home cinema
and music, making the 541 ideal as the heart of a general-purpose hi-fi
system. The 541 also has all the features of a high-performance audio-
visual controller. It provides six analogue inputs, together with three video
inputs for home cinema switching. All the features are highly customisable,
with a simple menu interface and on-screen help for setup and calibration.
To get the superb results you should expect from the 541 it is important
that you spend some time setting it up correctly with your system, and this
guide is designed to help you do this as simply as possible.
For instructions on setting up the unit turn to Setting up the surround
controller, page 27. Once the surround controller has been set up refer to
the next chapter, Using the surround controller, for information about
getting the best results from all your music and film recordings.
