outputs:
Use this output To connect to this
DIGITAL OUT A surround processor such as the
Meridian 561 Digital Surround
Processor, a digital preamplifier such

loudspeakers.
ANALOGUE OUT A television, analogue preamplifier
such as the Meridian 502, or an
analogue surround processor such as
the Meridian 541 Surround Controller.
The digital connections should be made with high quality 75Ω
screened cable. Suitable cables are available from Meridian. We
do not recommend using audio cables which do not have
adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables intended
for UHF applications, as these do not provide adequate
shielding in the 1–30MHz region.
The analogue connections should be made using high-quality
screened cable, taking care to connect the left and right
channels correctly.
