DVD Transport
Meridian’s G Series line of high performance
digital & analogue consumer audio
components feature a stylish cabinet design
in traditional black or a sleek silver finish.
Designed to be either free-standing or rack-
mounted, G Series components build on their
predecessors, the multi-award-winning 500
and our flagship 800 Series, and include
entirely new circuitry developed specifically
for the G Series.
Multi-layer boards reduce system noise and
improve performance. In products which
include video capabilities, broadcast-quality,
wide-bandwidth video components are
employed for maximum image integrity.
G Series units are easy to use. Where
appropriate, a knob is included to control
volume. The positive-action front-panel
keys are software-defined: their legends are
presented in the vacuum fluorescent display
and change intelligently according to context.
Full installation configuration of many G
Series components is achieved by running
a special setup program on a Windows
computer, connected to the G Series unit via
a serial link, or direct from the front panel.
G Series products also include serial ports
for remote operation and configuration,
along with infra-red sensor input and trigger
capabilities, plus Meridian communications
ports. A comprehensive back-lit learning/
programmable remote is included with
products other than amplifiers.

Virtually every piece of home entertainment
equipment has its own, characteristic
sound. But at Meridian, our intention is to
represent the original acoustic or studio
event as accurately as possible. The ideal
characteristic sound of Meridian, therefore,
is clear: it’s the real thing.
We achieve this sound in many ways,
including careful choice of the right
components, the right signal processing,
multi-layer PC boards, the shortest possible
analogue chain, precision digital design
and the lowest jitter. Then there are the little
things, like using gold-plated connectors
throughout.
The G96 DVD Transport is no exception to
this rule: and its video performance is also
second-to-none. The G96 plays audio CDs,
MP3 CDs, Video CDs and DVD-Video
discs, including the DVD side of DualDiscs.
It can decode Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG
and MP3 data streams to PCM for stereo
playback. And it can output Dolby Digital,
DTS, and MPEG bitstreams.
The G96 offers digital interfacing and
provides fixed-level multichannel or two-
channel audio outputs. It is designed for use
with a surround controller with multichannel
digital inputs such as Meridian’s G68 or
G61R. Alternatively, it can be connected
to a pair of DSP loudspeakers to create a
complete high-quality two-channel DVD
system.
