Meridian Audio 800 Manual De Usuario

INTRODUCTION

The architecture of the 800 allows for wide flexibility – future sources and

formats can be handled by upgrading software, cards, or drives.

The 800 Reference DVD/CD Player incorporates a DVD-ROM drive and

special electronics for media playback. Data from the drive, or from the

other inputs, is buffered and de-jittered to ensure perfect output timing
irrespective of the performance of the drive or other sources.

The 800 can also be used as a system controller, and may optionally be
fitted with digital and analogue inputs. Although the 800 does not include

a variable output, it can control the overall system volume with Meridian

DSP speakers.

The 800 Reference DVD/CD Player incorporates extensive DSP for resolution

enhancement and other signal processing on the data stream.

The 800 Reference DVD/CD Player provides multi-channel digital outputs

for direct connections to multi-channel digital inputs of a digital surround

processor such as the 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller. This

allows multi-channel surround to be reproduced without loss of quality.

The auxiliary output can be used either as a supplement to the surround

decoder, or to feed a second zone. Alternatively the 800 can be used as a

stand-alone DVD/CD player and controller using the discrete multi-channel

digital outputs to connect directly to up to six Meridian DSP loudspeakers.

The digital outputs can operate at up to 96kHz and may also be used to

allow integration of a secure closed Meridian system using MHR. These

outputs can provide decoded PCM or bitstreams such as AC-3, MPEG, or

DTS.

The 800 can also be fitted with analogue outputs with 192kHz, 24-bit

conversion capability. The 800 does not provide tape outputs and does not

generally support copying.
