Customising the 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.

The axis control allows you to adjust the optimum

listening height of the loudspeakers, like a balance

control operating in the vertical plane. This option is

only available with Meridian DSP loudspeakers.

You can also change the level of the centre, side, and

rear loudspeakers relative to the main speakers.

To move the listening position to the

left or right

Press < or > until the display shows:

CD Balance <0>

Press A or V to move the listening position.

The display shows the direction and position of the

listening position.

For example:

CD Balance <3

The arrow indicates the direction, and the number

indicates the position where 0 is central, 8 is in line

with the corresponding main speaker, and 10 is fully to

one side.

Note: This adjustment is not available for the Mono

preset.

To change the axis

Press < or > until the display shows the current axis

setting.

For example:

CD Axis -1

Press A or V to change the axis.

The axis can be adjusted between -2 and +3, where

0 corresponds to the axis of the treble unit. Usually a

listener will be below that position, so we recommend

settings of -1 or -2.

To change the relative level of the side

or rear loudspeakers

Press < or > until the display shows the speakers

you want to adjust.

For example: CD 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).

For example, to double the loudness of the

loudspeakers:

Adjust their level until the display shows:

CD Rear +10dB

Note: This adjustment is not available for the Direct,

Stereo, or Mono presets.
